The use of Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) across the world is growing enormously every day. The single-phase bi-directional convertors are presented in this study for HEVs on-board charging(OBC). In HEVs, we use power electronics converters for the converting and inverting operations. Artificial Neural Network(ANN) is presented in this study for simple operation and high optimization approaches. ANN control technique regulates the system's THD and enhances charging system optimization, enables two-way power delivery that is from the grid to vehicle and the vehicle to grid. An ANN based current controller model that achieves fast-dynamic reaction and that improves grid current harmonic characteristics is proposed in this study. The system's THD is reduced by the ANN controller being suggested. The results prove the validity and feasibility of design and control technique of the proposed integrated charging system.

This paper presents control methods for performance improvement of an integrated on-board battery charger (OBC) in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). HEVs generally consist of an OBC and a starter generator system (SGS). Since these each have a power conversion device for independent operation, such as battery charging and starter generator driving for engine starting, it necessarily increases the number of components, weight, and volume of the HEV. In order to overcome these disadvantages, recent research concerning the integrated OBC has progressed. Although it demands installation of power relays and an additional circuit, the integrated OBC is effectively operated for battery charging and starter generator driving. This paper proposes not only a harmonic reduction method of grid current, but also a feed-forward control method for performance improvement of the integrated OBC in HEVs. The effectiveness of the proposed control methods is verified by simulation and experimental results.
