 wELCOME!

The primary goal of this project is to design a system that will function as an electric vehicle power converter. A Digital Processor driven electronics system shall be designed such that the system can convert 60Hz, 120V AC grid power to the required 200V, or higher DC link voltage to charge an electric vehicle battery. This system will consist of a single phase diode rectifier, boost converter, and bi-directional converter for discharging the battery into a variable load or charging of the battery itself. In order to implement the system, studying will be done regarding the characteristics of the battery. These characteristics include modeling the battery for proper charging and discharging with the consideration of safety and efficiency of the system.
