Overview of power conversion topologies for EV DC chargers training

This training serves as a preparation for the upcoming live webinar "Demystifying isolated gate drivers in DC EV fast charging applications" taking place on May 31. 

ABOUT THIS TRAINING

In DC EV Charging systems, there are two main building blocks; AC/DC and isolated DC/DC power conversion. To support V2G or V2H, these topologies must operate bi-directionally in the future. In addition, and, to solve the challenge of optimizing size and efficiency, it’s important to consider moving from two-level topologies to multi-level topologies as well.

In this presentation we will explain: 

• Why move from a 2-level topology to a 3-level topology.
• Which are the most common PFC Inverter stages.
• The operating principles for the three-level: T-type, ANPC NPC and flying capacitor converter.
