Abstract: In the last few decades, the transportation sector is putting a lot of effort to reduce the CO₂ emission levels by introducing technologically advanced electric vehicles. The rapidly increasing numbers of EVs in the market have encouraged the concept of involving EVs in the smart grid technologies by utilising the bidirectional capabilities of EVs batteries. This paper presents the solar to vehicle (S2V) and vehicle to grid (V2G) performance analysis for the efficient and reliable operations. In S2V operation mode, charging of EV battery from photovoltaic systems through bidirectional DC to DC converter is analysed. In V2G operation mode, the energy stored in the EV battery is fed to the grid with the help of DC to DC bidirectional converter and DC to AC inverter. The performance of the proposed scheme is shown through the simulation results in terms of battery voltage, current and battery state of charge, while charging and discharging process.

Keywords: DC to DC converter; electric vehicle; PI controller; solar to vehicle; S2V; vehicle to grid; V2G.
