METHOD AND PROCESS FOR INDEPENDENT POWER SUPPLY OF AN ELECTRIC TRACTION CAR

Abstract

Due to the need for more environmentally friendly transportation and the widespread use of electric and plug-in hybrid cars, the availability of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations has emerged as a significant problem for automakers and a significant research challenge worldwide. In fact, several research projects focusing on advanced power electronics topologies and the optimisation of EV charging stations in terms of power transfer and location are motivated by the high cost of battery energy storage, the limited EV autonomy and battery lifespan, the battery charging time, the deployment cost of a fast charging infrastructure, and the significant impact on the power grid. There are three distinct charging levels that may be identified, each with a different output power and charging time. The charging process moves forward more quickly the higher the charge level, but at the price of power quality problems and disruptions as more power is sent to the car. Inductive recharging (contactless power transmission), conductive charging systems, and battery swapping are the three different types of charging systems that may be recognised. Additionally, EVs include fuel cell (FC) EVs, which use hydrogen as their major source of energy and are now the subject of substantial study in both academia and industry. This review article seeks to provide an up-to-date overview of significant developments in power electronics designs for electric vehicle traction motors and battery-powered EV charging infrastructure
