Abstract: In this paper, a novel bidirectional converter modelling and control is presented for the applications in plug-in electric vehicles. The controller is developed to enforce a pseudo-resistive behaviour at input terminals of the converter to ensure the unity power factor correction in power conversion. The proposed controller is based on a nonlinear sliding mode approach utilising a modified sliding manifold based on PI structure, as well as boundary layer solution to perform chattering compensation. The input resistance of the converter is regulated and controlled to positive and negative values depending on the charging or discharging state of the electric vehicle. Numerical simulations in PSIM environment are presented that evaluate performance of the proposed modelling and feedback control scheme.

Keywords: bidirectional converter; plug-in electric vehicle; sliding mode control; chattering compensation; grid-to-vehicle; G2V; vehicle-to-grid; V2G.
