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.
