A Comprehensive Review of Closed-Loop DC–DC Converter Topologies and Advanced Control Techniques for Electric Vehicle Charging Applications
Abstract
The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy systems, and smart power infrastructures has significantly accelerated the development of high-performance DC–DC power converters. Among non-isolated converter topologies, Boost, Cuk, and SEPIC converters are extensively utilized due to their efficient voltage conversion capability, adaptability, and compatibility with battery-powered systems. Recent research trends emphasize the importance of closed-loop control, intelligent control techniques, improved transient response, reduced ripple, and high-efficiency operation for EV charging systems. This review paper presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of major DC–DC converter topologies and advanced control techniques for EV charging applications. The paper critically evaluates converter operating principles, mathematical modelling methods, dynamic response characteristics, efficiency trends, ripple performance, and disturbance rejection capability. Furthermore, modern control approaches including PI control, fuzzy logic control, model predictive control, sliding mode control, and AI-based control techniques are reviewed. The study also investigates EV charging architectures, bidirectional charging systems, harmonic reduction strategies, and wide-bandgap semiconductor technologies. A detailed comparison of existing literature reveals major research gaps related to real-time implementation, EV-oriented dynamic analysis, power quality assessment, and advanced digital control integration. Finally, future research directions for intelligent, high-efficiency, and grid-interactive EV charging systems are presented.
