Fast Bidirectional Electrical Vehicle Chargers

Increase in electric vehicle mobility has encouraged the growth of vehicle to grid technology. Vehicle to grid technology allows bidirectional power flow between the battery of electric vehicle and the power grid. This allows peak load shaving, load leveling, voltage regulation and improvements of power system stability. Implementation of the vehicle to grid technology requires dedicated electric vehicle battery charger, which allows bidirectional power flow between power grid and electric vehicle battery. In this project, a new control strategy for bidirectional battery charger is proposed. The proposed control strategy can charge and discharge an electric vehicle battery in fast mode. Also, topologies of the converter including renewable energies will be included to obtain very fast chargers
