Grid Integrated Charging Dock System for Electric Vehicles

Abstract: Electric Vehicles (EV) are already becoming a mainstream preference for vehicle commutators, it is the future mode of powering the current fuel consuming vehicles due to its numerous advantages over them. Only challenge keeping the EV from wide acceptance is the limitations of EV battery charging infrastructure availability alongside the roads. Current public charging docks installed employ a plug in system, wherein the person needs to manually plug in the charging wire to and from the charging dock. These unattended charging docks involve risk factors like improper skills to select the correct mode , person safety, external weather conditions, etc. With this project we plan to introduce an automatic charging docks system, which will involve smart detection between the V2G and G2V mode of charging while in case of plug in system and interconnect it with the national electricity grid of 50 Hz frequency.
