Introduction
In the rapidly evolving field of electric vehicles (EVs), one of the key components that play a
crucial role in the efficiency and performance of these vehicles is the charging system.
This project focuses on the design and implementation of a Two-Switch Isolated AC to DC SEPIC
(Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter) for EV charging. The converter is designed to
operate with high efficiency, providing electrical isolation between the input and output for
enhanced safety and reliability.
It also aims to be flexible, accommodating a wide range of input voltages, and cost-effective,
balancing performance and affordability.
The project also explores the integration of this converter with an EV charging system, a
relatively new and rapidly evolving field. The ultimate goal is to contribute to advancements in
EV charging systems, making them more efficient, safe, and accessible.

Existing system
- The existing system primarily consists of a solar panel, a bi-directional DC to DC converter, a battery, and a super capacitor. - The solar panel captures sunlight and
1. The existing system for EV charging using a Two-Switch Isolated AC to DC SEPIC Converter typically
involves a power factor correction (PFC) converter. This converter operates in a discontinuous current
mode, presenting a unity power factor operation over the entire charging duration.
2. The voltage stress on the switches in this converter is related to the peak of phase voltage instead of
line voltage. The converter structure includes two inductors, a switch, a diode, a coupling capacitor,
and an output capacitor.
3. During the turn-on condition, the coupling capacitor discharges, causing both the inductors to get
charged. This structure provides four different modes of operation, each with different operating
stages, waveforms, and design equations.
4. The existing system is designed to be energy-efficient, stable, and distortion less compared to
conventional LED driver

Proposed system
The suggested two switch isolated ac to dc SEPIC converter-based Power
Factor Correction (PFC) converter.
To manage power in each switching cycle, the architecture includes two
switch separated SEPIC converters connected in parallel. Each phase of the
converter contains one MOSFET switch (S1 and S2) to reduce the number of
components. The purpose of diodes D5 and D6, which are grounded from the input
AC voltage, is to reduce noise caused by electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Interestingly, the recommended converter is made to function well in
cycles of both positive and negative AC supply. The input inductor L2, L3, the
semiconductor switches S1, the capacitors C1, C2, the diodes D1, D2, and the
output inductor L5 make up the converter group's phase 1. Phase 2 components are
the input inductor L1, L4, output inductor L6, capacitor C3, C4, diode D3, D4,
semiconductor switch S2, and diode D4.
The output dc link capacitor for phases 1 and 2 is frequently linked to the
capacitor C0. There are four (4) modes of operation that may be used to illustrate
how the proposed converter operates.

MODES OF OPERATION
