This paper presents the design and simulation of a bi-directional battery charging and discharging converter capable of interacting with the grid.
A bidirectional converter-based charging station works on V2G and G2V modes for charging the EV battery and supports the grid or isolated power station when it is needed. In this paper, a brief discussion on the previous development of bidirectional conversion is presented. A bidirectional converter is modeled and simulated in Simulink.
Furthermore, while the requirements of bidirectional inverters integrated with DC distribution in buildings may not be compatible for use in different applications such as (EV) and energy storage, the circuit topologies and control methods described may be adapted for other bidirectional applications.
Inverter: Similarly constructed with a MOSFET bridge, this unit serves as the bidirectional inverter, converting DC power back to AC power. The design of this bidirectional inverter circuit is critical for performance. Battery: Stores electrical energy.
