Abstract

This work presents a small-scale study of the use of a grid-enabled electric vehicle to mitigate power quality problems in residential networks through the integration of the active power filter and bidirectional battery charger functions to the power electronic converter of the powertrain. The integration of additional functions to electric vehicles is an interesting feature that can result in cost savings when compared to the purchase of separate devices to perform the integrated functions. Experimental results obtained from a small-scale system, based on an electric cross kart prototype, provide evidence of the possible employment of EV onboard power converters on the reduction of harmonic content and improvement of power factor in single-phase electric networks.
