Abstract
This study proposes a flexible, compact, efficient, and cost effective electric vehicle-to-electric vehicle charge sharing solution that will lead to faster and wider customer adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) as an alternative to current grid-to-vehicle charging methodologies. The energy will be transferred between EVs using a bidirectional dc-dc converter in a conductive way, which can take place at parking lots of workplaces, campuses, or residential premises and highways. The proposed design provides compact infrastructure, wide input and output voltage ranges with bidirectional buck-boost operation, and fast power transfer compared to Level 2 charging stations. A complete design comparison between Si and SiC based converters has been carried out based on the available power modules and magnetic cores. The comparison demonstrates the effect of switching frequency and switch selection on the size of passive components, the converter efficiency, and the power density of the converter. The developed study evaluated three different bidirectional dc-dc converter topologies and validated the developed prototype with experimental results.
