Integrated Power Electronics for Efficient Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

The rapid growth of electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates efficient, reliable, and scalable charging infrastructure supported by advanced power electronics integration. Traditional charging systems often face limitations in efficiency, higher harmonic distortion, and reduced power quality. Existing approaches suffer from poor scalability, increased switching losses, and challenges in maintaining grid stability. To address these issues, this work proposes a Modular Multi-Level Converter Optimization (MMCO) framework, a hierarchical control strategy enhanced with AI-assisted switching schemes to achieve optimal efficiency and reduced harmonic distortion in EV chargers. The proposed method enables adaptive load management, seamless grid integration, and improved power quality while ensuring system reliability. Findings demonstrate that the MMCO-based system significantly enhances efficiency, reduces harmonics, and supports scalable EV charging networks, making it a sustainable solution for future smart grid applications.
