Abstract
Abstract This paper presents the evolution of bidirectional electric vehicle charger for G2V (i.e., Grid-to-Vehicle) and V2G (i.e., Vehicle-to-Grid) utility. Electric vehicle are growing day by day in the area of transportation. As more electric vehicles hit the road to maintain the need for charging, bidirectional charging becomes essential. Bidirectional charging in electrical vehicles facilitates users to either make energy flow to the vehicle or flow from the vehicle. The proposed design allows users to make economic gains from electric vehicle with other exciting advantages. Particularly unidirectional charging solution restricts the user to use energy for charging only applications whereas, this paper proposed a control strategy for bidirectional charging of electric vehicles. Hence electric vehicles could be potentially used as a source during an emergency like power outages, grid failure, or whenever there is an excess load on grid and user needs more energy. Additionally, this paper uses an integration of buck and boost converter to develop a bidirectional vehicle charger. The performance of bidirectional converter with control algorithm is verified by simulation on MATLAB Simulink.
