Abstract

This work aims to showcase the potential of wide-band gap (WBG) Silicon-Carbide (SiC) MOSFET power switches in decreasing the power losses of an on-board, level 2, full-bridge non-isolated bidirectional charger utilized in plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) under vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and grid-to-vehicle (G2V) modes of operation. The simulation step is carried out in Simulink. The results verify the potential of wide-band gap (WBG) power switches to decrease the power losses under V2G and G2V operations. The efficiency for V2G operations at different battery charge levels exceed 99.3%, and the efficiencies for G2V operations at different battery charges are higher than 98.3%.
