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.
