Abstract:This work proposes a device, external to an electric vehicle (EV), capable of adding vehicle-to-home and vehicle-togrid functionality by using the available battery terminals in a combo connector. This configuration eliminates the need of onboard EV bidirectional inverters, reducing weight, cost and complexity while adding the possibility of integrating local renewable energy generation. In order to validate the concept of the system, design and simulations of the proposed system were carried out in a 2 kW pro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
