A Novel Multipurpose V2G & G2V Power Electronics Interface for Electric Vehicles

This paper proposes and analyses a novel multipurpose power electronic interface (MPEI) designed for the new generation plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). The proposed topology allows vehicle to grid (V2G) and grid to vehicle (G2V) operation to support the grid in times of high load or stress. The operation principles of the MPEI in its different modes are explained and practical results obtained using a real-time controller are discussed and validated in this paper.
