Smart EV Charger with Reactive Power Compensation

Project Overview

This project involved the design and fabrication of a smart EV charger. The primary goal was to create a charger that not only efficiently charged an electric vehicle but also provided reactive power compensation to improve grid stability.

Technical Details

The core of the project was the hardware fabrication and the implementation of a PID control algorithm. The PID controller was tuned to manage the reactive power flow, ensuring the charger could adapt to grid conditions in real-time. This required careful component selection and a robust PCB design to handle power electronics safely.
