Enhanced CPCV algorithm for improving power quality in electric vehicle battery charging

There are several difficulties to overcome when integrating electric vehicles (EVs) into power distribution networks, especially when it comes to preserving power quality (PQ) because of the harmonic distortion produced throughout battery charging. These issues are not sufficiently addressed by conventional charging algorithms like Constant Current Constant Voltage (CCCV), which frequently leads to higher Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), decreased system efficiency, and generally insufficient performance PQ. The Constant Power Constant Voltage (CPCV) charging algorithm, which is a revolutionary approach to addressing these issues, dynamically modifies the charging power according to the battery's state of charge (SoC). Compared to conventional techniques, this creative technology efficiently controls harmonic emissions and enhances power quality. Three distinct EV models-the Tesla Model 3, the BYD ATTO 3, and the Kia EV3 Long Range-were used in simulations to assess the algorithm's performance. The findings show that the CPCV algorithm works noticeably better than the CCCV method with respect to of lowering harmonic distortion; for the 3rd, 5th, 7th harmonics, THD values were lowered to as low as 0.41%. Furthermore, comparing to the greater loss seen in CCCV (3.85 kWh to 5.89 kWh), the CPCV algorithm also demonstrated significant decreases in energy losses, ranging from 2.72 kWh to 3.51 kWh. Furthermore, the CPCV method boosted efficiency by guaranteeing a power factor that was almost constant throughout all charging conditions. These results demonstrate the CPCV algorithm's efficacy in improving power quality, maximizing energy use, and facilitating the smooth integration of EVs into contemporary distribution systems. In order to meet the increasing demand for EV charging infrastructure and guarantee an additional dependable and sustainable power system, CPCV offers an attractive option by reducing harmonic distortion and increasing general charging efficiency.
