Controlled battery charger for electric vehicles

Due to rising fuel consumption, price of CO2 emissions and growing urban air pollution, the global interest of the automobile industry, politics and scientists in electric mobility is increasing in the recent years worldwide. Thus, future challenges will be the integration of electric vehicles in distribution networks under the scope of balancing multiple charging processes while, at the same time, increasing dispersed generation. The development of a controlled battery charger for traction batteries aims to reduce the peak load and to shift energy demand.
