Abstract
concept bidirectional dc-dc converters (BDC) have recently received a lot of attention due to increasing the systems capability of bidirectional energy transfer between two dc buses. Apart from traditional application in dc motor drives, new applications of BDC include energy storage in renewable energy systems, fuel cell energy systems, hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Under the requirements of reducing emissions, air pollution and achieving higher fuel economy. Most of the companies are developing electric, hybrid electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. However, the high cost of these technologies and the low autonomy are very restrictive. Different DC to DC converter structures can be organized from the inverter semiconductor elements. This project represents an integrated traction machine and converter topology that has bidirectional power flow capability between an electric vehicle and the dc or ac supply or grid. The dc grid voltage provides more stable voltage to counteract the rate of change of inductor current and the current ripple is controlled in a better fashion in a dc grid connected mode. The inductances of the traction motor windings are used for bidirectional converter operation to transfer power eliminating the extra needed inductors for the charging and vehicle-to-grid converter operations. Finally these operations are implementing in vehicle traction mode operation with help of using PV/Fuel cell based instead of battery supply & simulation results are obtained for electric motor characteristics by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
