“…Nowadays, the electric mobility is the main alternative to the traditional transportation system in order to reduce the greenhouse gases emission and to help to address environmental and energy issues [1]. It is also important to reduce the oil consumption in this sector [2], where it is predictable that 55% of the total oil consumption in the world will be allotted by this sector in 2030 [3]. This new paradigm has been supported by the several alternatives that are already available, mainly Electric Vehicles (EVs), as the Nissan Leaf.…”

Part 15: Operation Issues in Energy - IInternational audienceThis paper presents an on-board bidirectional battery charger for Electric Vehicles (EVs), which operates in three different modes: Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V), Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H). Through these three operation modes, using bidirectional communications based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), it will be possible to exchange data between the EV driver and the future smart grids. This collaboration with the smart grids will strengthen the collective awareness systems, contributing to solve and organize issues related with energy resources and power grids. This paper presents the preliminary studies that results from a PhD work related with bidirectional battery chargers for EVs. Thus, in this paper is described the topology of the on board bidirectional battery charger and the control algorithms for the three operation modes. To validate the topology it was developed a laboratory prototype, and were obtained experimental results for the three operation modes
