Bi‐directional power exchange between the lithium‐ion battery and the grid can be achieved using vehicle‐to‐grid (V2G) technology. Bi‐directional battery chargers for V2G applications present opportunities and challenges, as the rapid growth of active components can compromise system reliability. This paper proposes an adaptive control mechanism for a three‐phase bi‐directional battery charging system to address this. The system integrates a bi‐directional active front‐end (AFE) converter (BAC) with an interleaved buck‐boost converter to enable adaptive constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) mode operation and bi‐directional power flow. A feedforward decoupled current controller and pulse width modulation scheme optimize battery charging, while an optimized voltage‐oriented control (OVOC) model‐based controller ensures stable bi‐directional power exchange between the electric vehicle (EV) and the utility. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, with findings demonstrating low total harmonic distortion (THD), unity power factor (UPF), and minimal DC voltage ripple. A 12.5 kW prototype further confirms the practical viability of the design, offering a promising solution for enhanced reliability and performance in V2G battery chargers.
