ABSTRACT

 In this paper, we provide battery charging/discharging for electric vehicles, including hybrid car using a wireless power transmission technology. Because the power sources of EV and PHEV are fully or partially supplied from batteries charged from public line, on-board chargers should be mounted. Conventional on-board battery chargers for PHEV or EV have two-stage structure of input current shaper for harmonic reduction followed by DC/DC converter for output control and electrical isolation. And On-board battery charger is installed in the vehicle at all times. So It will account for constant volume of the car. It will contribute a constant fuel consumption of the vehicle by increasing the weight of the electric vehicle. Currently, the most conventional method is plug-in charging, where a copper connected cable forms the power link. There are several disadvantages to this method, which have led to the investigation of inductive charging technology. On-board chargers are burdened by the need for a cable and plug charger, galvanic isolation of the on-board electronics, the size and weight of the charger, and safety and issues with operating in rain and snow. Wireless power transfer (WPT) is an approach that provides a means to address these problems and offers the consumers a seamless and convenient alternative to charging conductively. In addition, it provides an inherent electrical isolation and reduces on-board charging cost, weight and volume. Depletion of fossil fuel reserves and current practice in generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of energy are major worldwide concerns, for which distributed generation (DG) and harnessing of renewable energy are considered to be partial and acceptable solutions. However, the quality of power delivered by DG systems, particularly those based on wind energy and solar energy, is largely affected by the stochastic nature of their energy production. Consequently, in order to improve the power quality while meeting the demand in the most economical and efficient way, energy suppliers relied on energy storage systems, particularly for DG systems of medium power levels. Among various storage solutions such as flywheels, batteries, super-capacitors, etc., the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) concept, which uses hybrid vehicles or pure electric vehicles (EVs) to store and supply energy back to the grid, is gaining more and more popularity as hybrid.
