Abstract

On-board AC charging is a convenient and widely adopted method for recharging electric vehicles (EVs) directly from standard alternating current (AC) power sources. This paper presents a novel topology for AC charging of EVs that utilizes EV 3-phase electric machine windings as the input inductors, thus eliminating the requirement for bulky grid interfacing inductors and resulting in a compact and cost-effective integrated motor drive and charger system. The proposed approach leverages the motor windings and parallel operating half-bridge inverter during the charging process by interconnecting the inverter phases with the motor windings in a mechanically interleaved and electrically paralleled manner. The implementation of this unique and innovative idea, achieved through precise control and arrangement of the motor winding as a series inductor, successfully eliminates the possibility of unintended motion of the electric machine during the charging process.
