Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive review of Partial Power Converter (PPC) topologies and control methods for fast electric vehicle (EV) charging applications. Partial Power Converters are gaining traction to enhance converter efficiency, reduce power losses, and minimize component sizes by processing only a portion of the total power. This review covers key PPC topologies, including different partial power converters, and highlights their advantages and limitations in the context of EV charging. Various control methods that optimize the performance of these converters are also discussed. The paper presents a comparative analysis between partial power and full power converters. Finally, this review synthesizes the main findings and proposes guidelines for selecting appropriate PPC architectures for future fast EV charging stations.Description
