Control method for EV charging and discharging in V2G/V2H scenario based on the synchronvter technology and H∞ repetitive control.

Electric vehicles (EVs) will play a vital role in the future's transportation systems since this technology is promising for environment, energy security, and improved fuel economy. EVs have huge potential of serving as the energy storage for the power grid as well as inhabitants in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) or vehicle-to-house (V2H) scenario. In this study, a control method is proposed for EV charging and discharging by using the synchronverter technology and H^∞ repetitive controller, where synchronverter technology is used to generate the reference voltage to decide the power angle and amplitude of the AC side voltage of the charging/discharging port, so that the power flow between EV and the grid is controlled. In order to ensure the power quality of EVs provided for the grid and the load while EVs are with local loads, a H^∞ repetitive controller is designed to control the voltage between EVs and the grid to follow the reference voltage. Simulation results have shown that the proposed controller is not only able to realise bi-directional real power and reactive power control, but also keep the output voltage of EVs in V2G or V2H scenario stable and clear while they are with different kinds of local loads.
