Abstract
Electric vehicles(EVs) provide a workable solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and thus become a hot topic for research and development. SRM is one of the engines that enforce EV applications. To extend EV driving miles, the use of vehicle photovoltaic (PV) panels reduces vehicle battery reliability. Due to the characteristics of the SRM phase transformer, it is suggested in this article to convert three ports to control the energy flow between the PV panel and the battery and SRM devices. Six operating modes were introduced, four of which were developed for driving and two for loading at the station. In driving modes, the maximum power point monitoring (MPPT) for the PV panel and SRM speed control is performed. In station charging modes, the loaded charging network topology is developed without the need for external devices. When the PV panel recharges the battery directly, a multi-section charging strategy is used to power it. MATLAB / Simulink-based simulation results and experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed three-port switcher. This can have economic impacts on improving market acceptability
