Kanimozhi, K.Koothu Kesavan, P.Nagendrappa, N.Balasubramanian, B.2026-02-032025IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, 2025, 71, 1, pp. 1609-1622983063https://doi.org/10.1109/TCE.2024.3440846https://idr.nitk.ac.in/handle/123456789/20543This paper introduces a novel coordinated control and power flow management strategy (CC-PFMS) for a solar integrated electric vehicle (EV) charging system. The CC-PFMS is designed to have inherent power balance capability under various operating modes with multiple energy resources. Further, it will facilitate the direction of power flow from grid to battery or vice versa irrespective of the charger system dynamics. The main advantage of proposed strategy is to identify different conditions such as change in solar irradiance, vehicle availability and battery charging/discharging state and ensure the stable operation. The veracity of the new approach is tested on 1.5 kW charger system having photovoltaic (PV) source integrated with utility grid. The performance of CC-PFMS under various operating modes viz. grid to vehicle (G2V), vehicle to grid (V2G), PV to vehicle (PV2V), PV to grid (PV2G), G2V+PV2V, V2G+PV2G and PV2V+PV2G is substantiated through extensive MATLAB simulations. The experiments were also performed in the laboratory prototype to confirm the simulation findings and recorded results were presented. © 1975-2011 IEEE.Charging (batteries)Electric machine controlElectric power system controlElectric vehiclesMATLABMaximum power point trackersPower controlSecondary batteriesSolar energySolar power generationVehicle-to-gridCo-ordinated controlControl-flowCoordinated controlCoordinated powerElectric vehicles chargersManagement strategiesMaximum Power Point TrackingPhotovoltaic systemsPower flow managementPower flow management strategyElectric load flow
