The transition towards electric vehicles (EVs) as a sustainable mode of transportation
highlights the critical importance of efficient and dependable charging infrastructure.
However, traditional EV chargers commonly utilize robust yet nonlinear diode bridge
rectifiers, resulting in notable power quality (PQ) issues in the input AC current. To
address this challenge, this study presents a novel solution in the form of a bridgeless (BL)
Luo converter aimed at enhancing the PQ performance of existing battery chargers by
eliminating the conventional input bridge. Additionally, this work proposes the integration
of Voltage Source Inverters (VSIs) to facilitate the grid-connected operation of EV
charging stations, enabling them to harness solar energy generated through photovoltaic
systems. By leveraging the BL Luo converter and VSIs, this integrated approach not only
improves the PQ characteristics of EV charging infrastructure but also enhances its
sustainability by utilizing renewable energy source
