Abstract

This paper presents the design and development of a modular multiport DC-DC converter for hybrid charging station. The system is supplied by renewable energy sources (RES) like solar photovoltaic system (SPV), wind energy system (WE) and fuel cell (FC). The proposed converter has several benefits like current sharing capability, providing lower current ripple and lower voltage ripple, lower current stress on the switches, lower current rating of switches and using a small-sized inductor. Due to the unavailability of continuous flow of power from the RES throughout the day, an effective energy management system using the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is implemented in the proposed system. ANFIS controller is implemented to identify and enable the available power from the renewable energy sources to feed the base load as well as charge the batteries in the hybrid charging station. The ANFIS controller continuously monitors the power availability for the charging station, thereby feeding minimum power to the base load. The proposed system is simulated and tested using the MATLAB/SIMULINK software, and a prototype of the same has been developed in the laboratory. From the simulation and experimental results, it is observed that the proposed converter suits best for integrating hybrid sources and used for charging the EVs. Improved life expectancy of the battery is obtained using the proposed converter. The proposed converter produces an efficiency of 97% and is superior to the other existing converters.
