A Novel Integrated Topology to Interface Electric Vehicles and Renewable Energies with the Grid

Electric Vehicles (EVs) are an alternative to internal combustion engine cars to reduce the environmental impact of transportation. It is common to use several power sources to achieve the requirements of the electric motor. A proper power converter and an accurate control strategy need to be utiliz...
