Abstract (EN): Bidirectional and efficient on-board charger systems for electric vehicles is a challenge nowadays. This paper describes a novel power converter system that implements bidirectional flow between the grid and an electric vehicle battery, where a dual active bridge is advantageous. With a bidirectional topology and proper control all the major grid constraints, such as power quality, harmonic rejection, active and reactive power control, and others, can be easily satisfied. A hardware prototype of the power converter is built. Experimental results from this hardware prototype verify the preliminary operation and claims of the V2G power interface.
