Abstract

This paper deals with bidirectional power flow based solar photovoltaic array powered electric vehicle (EV) charger with reactive power compensation. This configuration consists of a solar PV array that charges storage battery of EV and feeds the grid with remaining power simultaneously. For extracting maximum power, DC-DC boost converter is used and a three-phase voltage source converter (VSC) is used for the DC link voltage regulation. This arrangement provides extra opportunity to earn revenue at high electricity tariff by discharging energy to the grid. The proposed configuration is equally capable of reactive power balance. A brushless DC (BLDC) motor is used for ancillary purpose and is powered by battery charger under grid outage condition. The proposed charger is modelled and its performance is tested under different conditions of active and reactive power flow control in MATLAB/ Simpower system toolbox with the harmonic contents of grid current within 5% in every mode as per IEEE 519 standard. The charger is designed with three-phase, 230 V, 50 Hz utility grid.
