Abstract

The  increase  of  electric  vehicle  (EV)  batterychargers  connected  to  electric  networks  could  lead  to  futureharmonic  problems  in  power  systems.  These  loads  are  non-linear devices that inject harmonic currents and pollute networkvoltages.  Thus,  battery  charger  modeling  must  be  studied  indetail to determine their harmonic emissions and prevent futureproblems. This paper investigates EV battery charger behavior,analyzes  its  equivalent  circuit  and  reports  a  model  for  eachconduction  mode  of  the  circuit.  Experimental  measurementsand PSpice numerical simulations support the study.
