Design of a battery-charger controller for electric vehicle based on RST controller

In order to find better solution for the development of Electric Vehicles (EVs), many research are performed by companies, universities and research laboratories. The main goal of these works is to provide some solutions to reduce the cost, increase the compactness, improve the autonomy and the reliability as well as the vehicle energetic efficiency and last but not least, reduce the global carbon emissions impact of the vehicle. This paper deals with an on-board battery charger for EVs or PHEVs where power electronics are reduced thanks to the use of same power converters in traction and charger mode. RST controllers in discrete time are design to control the PWM rectifier for the single-phase case.
