Abstract
Harmonic currents are high in conventional rectifiers. The previous work proposed a new battery charger circuit to reduce harmonics effect and improve total harmonic distortion (THD). The design and development of a home charging electric vehicle battery charger circuit should anticipate potential issues. For this reason, the proposed battery charger, buck chopper, and zero cross circuits must be simulated before real hardware implementation. Simulation and simulation models are needed to describe system behaviour because experimentation might be dangerous, expensive, and time-consuming. This paper describes a simulation model of a zero-crossing circuit and its control algorithm, that provide control signals to a five-level single phase Multi Level Rectifier (MLR)) to draw the MLR for a clean sinusoidal line current with low harmonics. The proposed circuit and the algorithms perform as expected when tested using MATLAB/Simulink and PROTEUS software.
