1. INTRODUCTION

In recent years, with the enhancement of power electronics technology and control strategies in
power electronics devices coupled with the increasing demand of high efficiency in battery
charger system has invoked enormous attention from the research scholars around the world.
Battery charger system technology is currently being incorporated in urban industrial areas to
maintain with these demands lot of work is on towards. Therefore, many battery chargers with
different ratings and functionalities are being developed for high output efficiency since few

years. The battery charger usually works to globalize the energy saving and to serve in fast
transportation systems. The use of battery charger brings convince life solution during the
traveling from urban to rural areas. Many techniques were fetched out by the scientists since
battery charger device was developed for renewable energy generation, electronic communication
power supplies, electric vehicles, UPS or an uninterruptible power supplies, PV systems and
portable electronics products. Many charging methods have been developed to improve the
battery charger efficiency in the last few decades. In order to achieving high efficiency in battery
charger, append the traditional battery charger with the technique of ZCS ( Zero-Current-
Switching) resonant buck topology which delivered the efficient performance in charging
shaping[11-12-13-14].

This work looks at the issues which associates ZCS PWM (Zero-Current-Switching Pulse width
Modulation) converter, buck topology with the battery charger. This paper develops a novel high-
efficiency battery charger with ZCS PWM buck topology which has simple circuit structure, low
switching losses, easy control and high charging efficiencies [1-3]. Zero Current Switching
resonant buck converter is analyzed and mode of operation is also studied. Various waveforms &
charging curve period were noted down during the piratical examine using MATLAB software.
The curve of charging efficiency during the charging period shows 89% charging output
efficiency of novel proposed prototype.

2. BATTERY CHARGERING SYSTEM & CAPACITY DEMAND

Todays most modern electrical appliances receive their power directly right away the utility grid.
Many devices are being developed everyday which requires electrical power from the batteries in
order to achieve large mobility and greater convenience.

The battery charger system utilizes the battery by working to recharge the battery when its energy
has been drained. The uses rechargeable batteries include everything from low-power cell phones
to high-power industrial fork lifts, and other construction equipment. Many of these products are
used everyday around-the-clock commonly in offices, schools, and universities, urban and

civilian areas [8-9]. In fig. 2 shows that the Battery Capacities of Various Battery-Powered
Devices which are used in different rate of watt per hours level in cell phones, laptops, power
tools, forklifts and golf crafts etc.[10].









Fig.2 Battery Capacities of Various Battery-Powered Devices

A battery charger system is a system which uses energy drawn from the grid, stores it in an
electric battery, and releases it to power device. While engineers are used modern techniques to
usually design the battery charger systems, which maximize the energy efficiency of their devices
to make certain long functioning & operation time between charging; however they often neglect
how much energy is used in the conversion process of ac electrical power into dc electrical power
stored in the battery from the utility grid.

Apparently, energy savings can be possible if the conversion losses are reduced which associated
with the charging batteries in battery-powered products & output voltage can be controlled via
switching frequency. We can achieve these savings using different techniques including
battery charger topology that is readily available today and is being employed in existing
products. The same technique and topology is discussed in this paper which increases the
efficient performance in charging shaping of novel battery charger.

3. METHODS OF BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM & ITS
TOPOLOGIES

Methods of efficiency improvements in battery charger systems in use today have substantially
lower possibilities due to a lack of cognitive skills in the charger and battery which commonly
consume more electricity than the product they power. The energy savings are achieved in
millions of battery charger systems that are presently in operation worldwide by reducing
inefficiencies in charger and battery. Battery charger systems work in three modes of operation.
In charge mode of operation, the battery is accumulating the charge while the maintenance mode
of operation occurs when battery is fully charged and charger is only started to supply energy to
undermine the natural discharge. No-battery mode of operation shows that the battery has been
physically disconnected from the charger [8-9].

There are lots of methods which are recognized to achieve the higher efficiency in battery charger
systems, including:

Higher voltage systems

Switch mode power supplies

Synchronous rectification

Improved semiconductor switches

Lithium-ion batteries

TABLE: 1 Efficiency improvements in charger topologies

Table.1 show that the efficiencies of normal and improved range are measured less than 15%,
comparable systems with overall efficiencies of 65% or greater are technically feasible in charger
topologies for battery charger system. The linear and switch mode chargers are analogous to
linear and switch mode power supplies with the exception that the charger topologies also
incorporate charge control circuitry on their outputs. Most multi- or single-piece chargers are
either linear or switch mode chargers. These two categories are found commonly in consumer
applications, particularly in the residential public sector. Ferro-resonant and SCR(silicon
controlled rectifier) battery chargers form a large percentage of the chargers utilized in developed
industrial applications [10]. This paper provides basic idea about the method of use of switch
mode power supplies such as dc-dc converters are considered as they can achieve higher
efficiency in battery charger scheme.
