Abstract

Electric vehicles are growing in importance owing to their desirable characteristics leading to utilization. It is a significant challenge to maintain voltage for DC microgrids when integrating with EVs. The work aims to enhance voltage stability in a DC microgrid and the electric vehicle charging using GaN devices in the converter. This is done by developing a DC microgrid with better voltage regulation, loss reduction, and increased efficiency and these are analyzed using PLECS software. Under different operating conditions, the proposed converter can respond to load fluctuations and maintain its voltage profile stable. The approach meets the increasing demand for vehicle charging by upgrading DC microgrid technology. The use of GaN-based converters improves voltage stability while allowing for efficient integration of EVs into the grid thereby giving more options for transportation.
