Abstract

EV charging combined with distributed energy storage (ES) devices could be utilized to send power to the grid during peak hours, mitigating the effects of load shedding. In order to achieve these goals, a hybrid multi-port charging system is developed in this study to properly manage power flows and balance energy. It is made up of a PFC bridge rectifier that is linked to an isolated three-port dc-dc converter that includes a series resonant (SRC) and a DAB converter for fast and slow charging applications, respectively. To maximize efficiency and power density, the ports share a 400 V common DC link. Grid-to-vehicle (G2V) mode is used to charge EV and ES vehicles from the utility grid; PV-to-grid (PV2G) mode is used to deliver PV energy to the grid; renewable-to-vehicle (R2V) mode is used to charge EV and ES batteries; and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) mode is used by EV and ES to deliver stored energy to the grid. The charging system’s performance and operation are validated in real time using MATLAB/Simulink under various operating situations. The system’s total harmonic distortion (THD) for the supply current is 2.07%. The suggested system is also compared against a state-of-the-art multiport charging system to assess its performance.
