Dual Active Bridge Converter with Fuzzy Controller for EV Applications

  • Unique Paper ID: 177036
  • PageNo: 293-297
  • Abstract:
  • The popularity of electric vehicles is rapidly increasing due to their benefits such as reduced carbon footprint, fuel economy, and nearly silent operation. However, building a controller for an electric vehicle is challenging as it involves factors such as selecting an appropriate power electronics drive, implementing regenerative braking, managing the battery, and choosing a power converter. In electric vehicles, the DC-to-DC converter is an essential component, and researchers are working on developing bidirectional DC to DC converters and their control units. Due to its high-power density, ease of implementation of zero-voltage switching, quick access to cascading and parallelism, and bidirectional power flow, the dual active bridge (DAB) converter is a favored option for this. This paper presents a bidirectional dual active bridge converter controlled by fuzzy logic controller for managing the electric vehicle's battery during grid-to-vehicle charging and vehicle-to-grid discharging. The MATLAB simulation results are presented. A comparative of developed controller with conventional controller is also presented.
