Off-board electric vehicle battery charger using fuel cell and PV array
Gajjela.kasthuri , Dr.Vishwanatha siddharatha
Abstract
The usage of renewable energy has dramatically increased over the past few years in a variety of industries, which has led to its use for EV (electric vehicle) battery charging in the automotive sector. In this research, a bidirectional interleaved DC-DC converter (BIDC)-fed offboard battery charging system using photovoltaic (PV) arrays is suggested for light-weight EVs. This off-board charging system has the ability to operate in dual mode, providing power to theEV battery from the PV array when the vehicle is at a standstill and driving the DC load when the vehicle is moving. A three-phase BIDC is used to carry out this dual mode operation. Software called MATLAB/Simulink is used to simulate the suggested system's model. This study provides simulation findings. To increase the system's capacity and reliability of power in shaded conditions, a fuel cell is also connected to the existing system. Simulink from the MATLAB programme is used to simulate the suggested charging mechanism.
