Abstract

Wind energy conversion system fed EV battery charging system using single phase bridgeless cuk converter is proposed in this paper. PMSG is employed in the WECS to convert the mechanical energy into electrical ac power. In standalone wind energy conversion systems, two stage ac-dc & dc-dc converters are employed to obtain the desired output. The bridgeless cuk converter employed in the proposed charger is a single stage converter which acts as rectifier as well as dc-dc converter. The bridgeless cuk converter converts the ac voltage generated from PMSG into a desired dc voltage for charging the battery of an electric vehicle. Thus, an intermediate stage of power conversion is reduced in the proposed system. Also, a simple output voltage controller is employed in the proposed system to charge the electric vehicle battery with constant voltage irrespective of the wind speed. The proposed off-board EV battery charger is simulated in Simulink environment of MATLAB software and the results obtained are furnished in this paper. The experimental investigation has been carried out in the developed laboratory prototype of the EV battery charging system and the obtained results are furnished in this paper.
