Modelling Analysis and Implementation of Bidirectional Converter for Electric Vehicle Application

Abstract

Renewable energy technologies and solutions are becoming the source for overcoming the global energy quest. This has resulted in immense research and development in power conversion techniques. Also, the prime source for climate change and global warming is the automotive industry and hence it is taking a paradigm shift. It has started seeking more sustainable options such as shifting away from gasoline to hybrids and electric solutions. New vehicular applications, namely Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) and Electric Vehicles (EV) have been developed in recent times to achieve more sustainable transportation solutions. newlineFor the deployment of electric vehicles, the heart of the vehicle namely the battery must be charged, discharged, and maintained appropriately by suitable power electronic converters newline
