A Multi-Mode Power Converter for Electric Vehicle Charging

A Multi-Mode Power converter (MMPC) suitable for Electric vehicle (EV) charging, with multifunctional operation in a single interleaved converter topology is proposed here. The MMPC incorporates AC – DC mode to charge the EV from the residential grid, Bidirectional DC-DC mode for internal power management and DC – AC mode for V2H operation. The interleaved topology of MMPC reduces the voltage and current ripple and performs power factor improvement during EV charging. The design and simulation results of MMPC using MATLAB Simulink are presented.
