| Summary: | This paper investigates a fundamental issue in AC-DC rectifiers that are specifically used as charger for electric vehicle (EV), i.e. the total harmonic distortion (THD) of input current waveforms. Firstly, the topology of two-stage charger along with the corresponding control scheme is reviewed. Then, the research gap namely high harmonic distortion of input current is identified and analyzed. A revision of the conventional control method with the aid of virtual resistant is proposed and investigated from the circuit perspectives. Finally, simulation results are delivered to validate the analysis and the reduction of THD in the input current waveform. this is proposed method, the steady state is studied.
