Abstract :
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology is one promising feature of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. A comprehensive comparison between the three-leg converter and H-bridge converter applied to vehicle-to-grid applications is made. This comparison focuses on the converter´s passive components, power consumption and control effort. A three-leg converter with an LCL filter designed for a typical American household electric system is proposed. This converter has both vehicle-to-grid function and stand-alone function with high performance.
