Our research group concentrates on the power electronics part of the EV infrastructure. The objective is the design of a highly efficient, reliable and power-dense charging system. We work on the following topics targeting the objective.
1. The design of the charging station architecture focuses on the grid integrating converter architecture and control.
2. Off-board charger design to execute high-power charging considering the SOC of the EV.
3. Design of multiport converter to interface grid, energy storage system and multiple EVs.
4. Development of converter topologies and control for onboard EV charging.
5. Development of the EV charging station having smaller footprint effective component utilization.
6. Development of the converter with optimum utilization of Si and SiC devices.
Ongoing research work:
a) Investigation of the Five-level Hybrid Active NPC-based Dual-Active-Bridge Converter for EV Battery Charging Applications.
b) Design and Control of a Modular Multi-Port Cascaded Boost Converter (M2CBC) Suitable for Electric Vehicle Battery Swapping Station.
c) Improving the Efficiency of the DAB Converter of an On-board EV Charger Using Different Modulation Techniques.
(d) Development of multilevel dual active bridge (MLDAB) converter for off board EV charger and integration energy storage system.
(e) Analysis and Current Stress Optimization of Novel Active Neutral Point Clamped DAB Converter with Optimal Switch Utilization.
(f) A novel multilevel EV charging station based on the parallel hybrid converter and dual active bridge.
