Abstract

Infrastructure for charging electric vehicles (EVs) is highly demanded due to the rising number of EVs on the road. Stations for charging electric vehicles are necessary for the ongoing transportation e-mobility. In particular, fast charging infrastructures increase the computing ability of transmission grids that are already under a lot of pressure. The market's current energizing foundation takes a ton of room and incidentally causes gridlocks, which raises the risk of mishaps and hinders crisis vehicles. The cost of installing this charging infrastructure increases significantly because the current system needs a lot of room. To resolve these issues, this work depicts a Reconfigurable Multidevice Interleaved Boost Converter Topologies with Placement Algorithm for adjusting and a space-proficient charging foundation. Because of its insignificant electromagnetic impedance, low input and result voltage swells, bidirectionality, high efficiency and dependability, delicate switching, commotion free activity, low exchanging loss, and high effectiveness, this topology is the most ideal decision for high-power EVs.

Keywords: Electric vehicle, Smart transformer, Multidevice Interleaved Boost Converter (MDIBC), Fast Charging station, Placement Algorithm.
