Abstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) are very useful for reducing carbon emission and energy-efficient transportation. Green energy and minimization of emissions are the needs which are regularly thriving automakers to produce electric transportations. Electric vehicles market is highly increasing day by day and its share will be growing even more higher in the upcoming future. To build up EV battery chargers need AC-DC converters and DC-DC converters. EV chargers can optimize vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and grid-to-vehicle (G2V) operations through properly using bidirectional DC-DC converters. The Split-Pi converter is a recently invented DC-DC converter that can support V2G and G2V operation with its bidirectional functionalities. This paper presents a detailed analysis and control of Split-Pi converter for V2G and G2V operation, and development of energy management system. The energy management combination of Lithium-Ion batteries and supercapacitors in EVs can minimize cost, maximizing its range, efficiency and reliability. The EV charging system employing Split-Pi converter analyzed for V2G and G2V applications has been designed in the MATLAB/Simulink platform. Although many topologies and ideas are modified regarding those applications, there are still some processes to identify the new methodologies. Split-Pi converter-based battery and energy management system must be taken into consideration to prevent battery problems such as battery aging, power losses, and slow charging. Both battery lifetime and efficiency can be improved by this way.
