Abstract

The expected high penetration of battery chargersfor  electric  vehicles  (EV)  in  electric  networks  is  foreseen  as  apotential  problem  for  power  quality.  Battery  chargers  are  non-linear devices that inject harmonic currents and pollute networkvoltages. Thus, their harmonic emissions must be analyzed andreduced  by  harmonic  mitigation  techniques  to  avoid  futureproblems.  This  paper  analyzes  and  reports  some  real  casemeasurements of harmonics injected by single- and three-phasebattery   chargers   and   their   attenuation   using   line   chokeinductances.
