Abstract

As a new application area of electric vehicles, vehicle to home (V2H) recently becomes one of the most attractive research areas. In this paper, a three-phase four-wire inverter using four half-bridge legs is adopted to realize the V2H functionality. Such three-phase inverter acts as the grid-side ac/dc part of the battery charger. In order to deal with the imbalanced load, an independently controlled neutral module has been adopted to form the neutral line and provide the path for the zero-sequence current, together with split dc-bus capacitors. Each phase employs the independent sinusoidal pulse width modulation control with the virtual resistor paralleled with the load, namely, notch-filter-incorporated capacitor voltage feedback control, which damps harmonics around the resonant frequency at various load conditions. In addition, this paper quantifies the load imbalance versus the dc-link voltage oscillation and provides the guidance for the selection of the dc-link capacitance. Finally, a 10-kW three-phase four-wire inverter working at the V2H mode is built and tested, with the three-phase imbalanced load imposed to validate the proposed design and control strategy.
