Abstract

In this paper, a straightforward method for locating the controller in a PV-based bootstrap converter system is presented. Recent developments in control strategies and power electronics have made it possible to create PV-based DC-to-AC converters for AC drives that are connected to 3-phase loads. High voltage gain is intended to be produced by the bootstrap converter (BSC). The BSC's purpose is to control load voltage. This study compares the time specification performance of the proportional resonant controller (PRC) and the sliding mode control (SMC) for photovoltaic systems with bootstrap three phase inverter (PV-BSTPI). For the delicate loads, steady voltage is typically more important. The BS-TPI system incorporates a closed loop control to fast achieve constant voltage. Choosing the best control approach is the aim. It is observed that the steady state error of SMC is 1.67 which is better when compared to PRC.

Abstract

The vehicle-to-grid (V2G) concept has gained significant attention in the last decade due to its potential to enhance direct current (DC) microgrid stability and reliability. Electric vehicles (EVs) play a central role in distributed energy storage systems, optimizing efficiency and enabling the integration of renewable energy sources. This study offers a unique three level CLLC resonant converter developed for off-board EV chargers to promote bidirectional power transfer between DC microgrids and EVs. The suggested converter uses resonant CLLC components and two three-level full bridges to effectively handle a broad range of EV battery voltages (200 V–700 V). To ensure effective power conversion, the first harmonic approximation (FHA) model is used to analyse the converter's resonant frequency characteristics. The proposed system achieves high efficiency (>95%), with voltage stability maintained at 750 V under various load conditions. The converter's performance was validated through MATLAB based simulations, comparing proportional integral (PI) and proportional integral derivative (PID) control strategies. The PID-controlled system demonstrated superior dynamic response, reduced current ripples, and enhanced voltage regulation compared to the PI-controlled system. This study demonstrates the viability of implementing a three-level CLLC resonant converter for efficient, bidirectional, and wide-voltage adaptation in EV charging infrastructure, thereby contributing to grid stability and renewable energy integration.
