Grid Faults Impact on The Battery Charger

A primary cause of global warming is the release of emissions from conventional vehicles that burn fossil fuels. As a result, electric vehicles (EVs) have been identified as a viable and clean alternative. To charge the EV battery, the charger is typically connected to the power system grid for several hours during the day. Therefore, it is crucial for the charger to be equipped with ride-through capabilities to handle any disruptions that may occur in the grid. It is also important to understand the interaction between the charger and the grid, as well as how the charger responds to grid disturbances. This paper focuses on the impact of grid faults on EV battery charger and demonstrates how the location of the grid fault can affect the performance of the charger.
