MATLAB Simulation for bidirectional EV (Electric Vehicle) charger.
This is our submission to the Portable-Charging-System-for-Electric-Vehicles project part of the MathWorks Excellence in Innovation program.
This is the MATLAB simulation model for bidirectional charger for EV. This works on the princlple of bidirectional buck-boost converter. This model is little different from normal EV Charger which only charges EV from the grid, it also has reverse charging from vehicle to grid. It also allows the owner to sell the extra energy to the grid with other advantages such helping other EV users on the way when they are out of battery and also the solar EV users to store extra energy when their vehicle not in use.
Basically this simulation works on manual input i.e., 0 and 1. When the is power generated by the grid is more than threshold power then then logic 1 is used and converter works in buck mode that is charging mode and when the power generated is less than threshold power then logic 0 is used and converter works in boost mode that is discharging mode.
