A Controllable Bidirectional Battery Charger for Electric Vehicles with Vehicle-to-Grid Capability

This paper proposes a comprehensive methodology for the design of a controllable electric vehicle charger capable of making the most of the interaction with an autonomous smart energy management system (EMS) in a residential setting. Autonomous EMSs aim achieving the potential benefits associated with energy exchanges between consumers and the grid, using bidirectional and power-controllable electric vehicle chargers. A suitable design for a controllable charger is presented, including the sizing of passive elements and controllers. This charger has been implemented using an experimental setup with a digital signal processor to validate its operation. The experimental results obtained foresee an adequate interaction between the proposed charger and a compatible autonomous EMS in a typical residential setting.
