Abstract: A nonlinear sliding-mode controller for a three-phase converter, utilized in plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), is proposed in this paper. The proposed controller enables the utilized converter to perform multiple functions during different operating modes of the vehicle, i.e., grid-to-vehicle (G2V) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) modes. The bidirectional three-phase converter and the proposed controller operate as a power factor correction circuit, bridgeless boost converter, and rectifier during G2V mode (i.e., plug-in charging), and it operates as a conventional single-stage inverter during V2G mode. The stability analysis of the proposed controller is performed by defining a proper Lyapunov function. The functionality of the proposed nonlinear controller is first evaluated through simulation studies. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is then validated using an industrial control card through a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experimental testbed.
