Abstract

Energy demand associated with the ever-increasing penetration of electric vehicles on worldwide roads is set to rise exponentially in the coming years. The fact that more and more vehicles will be connected to the electricity network will offer greater advantages to the network operators, as the presence of an on-board battery of discrete capacity will be able to support a whole series of ancillary services or smart energy management. To allow this, the vehicle must be equipped with a bidirectional full power charger, which will allow not only recharging but also the supply of energy to the network, playing an active role as a distributed energy resource. To manage recharge and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) operations, the charger has to be more complex and has to require a fast and effective control structure. In this work, we present a control strategy for an integrated on-board battery charger with a nine-phase electric machine. The control scheme integrates a fuzzy logic controller within a voltage-oriented control strategy. The control has been implemented and simulated in Simulink. The results show how the voltage on the DC-bus is controlled to the reference value by the fuzzy controller and how the CC/CV charging mode of the battery is possible, using different charging/discharging current levels. This allows both three-phase fast charge and V2G operations with fast control response time, without causing relevant distortion grid-side (Total Harmonic Distortion is maintained around 3%), even in the presence of imbalances of the machine, and with very low ripple stress on the battery current/voltage.

Highlights

  • The advent of smart grids and the ever greater and more frequent integration of distributed energy sources (DER) into modern energy systems is causing huge changes in the concept of ancillary services for transmission and distribution systems

  • Two possibilities can be considered for battery integration, and one does not exclude the other: it is possible to use both stationary storage systems and batteries integrated into electric vehicles (EVs); the former have the great advantage of being permanently available, guaranteeing a reliable service, but the disadvantage of having a high initial cost

  • EVs batteries have traction as their primary purpose; when not in use, they can provide the ancillary services requested with remuneration for the vehicle owners
