Design and simulation of an electric vehicle charger with integrated interleaved boost converter and phase-shifted full-bridge converter using MATLAB/Simulink

Abstract

This paper presents the design and simulation of a high-efficiency electric vehicle (EV) charger that integrates a two-phase interleaved boost converter (IBC) with a phase-shifted full-bridge (PSFB) converter using MATLAB/Simulink. In contrast to existing studies that treat these converter stages independently, this work introduces a unified AC–DC–DC architecture that simultaneously minimizes input current ripple, improves DC-bus stability, and enables soft-switching operation for reduced switching losses. The values of the inductors and capacitors are derived analytically based on ripple constraints and switching frequency considerations, and example calculations are explicitly provided. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed charger maintains a stable 600-V DC bus with less than 2% voltage ripple, delivers a controlled charging current of 100 A with 3 A ripple, and achieves an overall efficiency of 95%. These findings indicate that the integrated interleaved–PSFB topology provides superior conversion efficiency and power quality, making it a strong candidate for future EV fast-charging infrastructure.
