Abstract :Today, the negative impact of charging on the grid is becoming a major concern as the number of electric vehicles increases. The charging topologies such as V2G, V2H and V2V are being studied to solve this problem. The most critical issue in this context is the design and use of appropriate infrastructure and equipment. In this study, firstly a low-cost and high-efficiency non-isolated bidirectional DC-DC converter suitable for DC charging stations is designed. The designed converter was analysed both by analytical methods and by operating at low powers. Secondly, a real-world implementation of V2V and V2H topologies has been performed using these designed converters. In the application study, a DC charging station model was created by using 4 of these converters as charging units. The 90-minute operation of the designed charging station was realised according to a rule-based algorithm. Accordingly, it has been shown that the efficiency of the non-isolated bidirectional DC-DC converter designed is 95%. It is also proved that 54.16% of the EVs load can be shifted to off-peak time period using V2V topology in real world application. According to the results, it is understood that the isolated and high-power version of the designed converter is suitable for charging stations.
