The typical case of using a bidirectional charger is the most beneficial in photovoltaic generation with connected battery storage. If we are able to power the vehicles at cheaper rates or use the car battery to store excess energy from a photovoltaic installation, this energy can be used at times when energy is more expensive.
In addition, with the proposed strategies, the bidirectional charging/discharging capability of the battery is able to achieve the maximum PV power utilization. All the proposed strategies can be realized by the digital signal processor without adding any additional circuit, component, and communication mechanism.
In recent times, there has been a notable surge in interest towards bidirectional power flow between the grid and EV batteries. Bidirectional converters stand as the fundamental technology, empowering vehicles to transform into dynamic mobile energy storage systems.
OEMs such as Volkswagen, BMW, Ford, Kia, and Hyundai already manufacture vehicles with DC bidirectional charging with the other OEMs expected to follow. On the other hand, the majority of manufacturers of chargers are also incorporating bidirectional chargers, especially “wall box” versions for residences or offices for vehicle fleets.
The subsequent stage, managed by the DC-DC converter, steps down the voltage levels for efficient EV battery charging and amplifies voltage for smooth power transfer to the grid. With the rapid progress
