• A network of fast-charging stations is of great importance for widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EV) if the so-called range anxiety issue is to be resolved. As with petrol stations, we expect that multiple chargers will be co-located to form charging stations. This layout allows for the fast-charging station to make use of a common rectifier stage and several dc/dc stages to charge multiple EVs. This paper builds on our previous work where we proposed a novel dc-side filter for the 12-pulse rectifier and investigated the power profile for a MW fast-charging station. In this paper, we propose a novel control approach for the filter, based on the virtual resistor injection, which results in further reduction in dc ripple, ac-side harmonics, and filter VA ratings. We also demonstrate that, with the proposed topology and control, the filter stage can be used as dc-side energy storage system.
