The hybrid photovoltaic energy system for electric vehicle battery charger

Abstract

This paper presents the hybrid photovoltaic (PV) energy system for the electric vehicle (EV) battery charger. The simple maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is introduced for charging the electric vehicle battery. In the AC mode, the interleaved ac/dc boost converter with power factor correction (PFC) is presented too. With the proposed PFC control strategy, the average current control method is used for regulating the sinusoidal input current waveform. Validity of the proposed control scheme is verified by simulations.
