Bidirectional Converter For Conductive And Inductive Charging Of Battery Controlled Electric Vehicles

Abstract: Zero emission mobility is one of the most important applications in the electric vehicle market being in a continuous growth where new charging technologies are getting popularities with new developments. Developing fast charging topologies and strong infrastructure can be the solution to limit the autonomy of vehicles which is growing faster and need to be in consideration. This research article shows and discuss the recent topologies and the methodologies of EV charging module, and finally comes in a new charging system for the better solution covered with Split-Pi bidirectional DC-DC converter based on conductive and inductive (wireless) charging applications. These fundamentals are related to the electric vehicles. The problems resulting from global warming and with direct involvement of the most severe issues such like burning and consumption of fossil fuels need modification and improvement, and EVs are the ultimate solution there. The detailed design and analyses of the new topologies has been performed with controlled front- end stage AC-DC converter, control of bidirectional converter, and battery based on simulation using MATLAB/Simulink. The entire simulation analysis and design parameters, associated with the proposed converter and battery controller has been highlighted and discussed through analyzing ideas on the advancement of conductive and inductive charging scheme for EV batteries.
