DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A BI-DIRECTIONAL POWER CONVETER
FOR ELECTRIC BIKE WITH CHARGING FEATURES
INTRODUCTION Recently, in order to comply with the policies of energy
saving, carbon reduction, and environmental protection, all of the electric equipments and energies are requested to satisfy the green demand.
However, massive fuel oil vehicles result in serious air pollution and destruction environment.
Therefore, the development of the electric vehicles (EV) or the hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) are becoming important policies in many countries.
The secondary batteries are the main energy sources of the EV. Thus, energy management is the most important key factor in EV or HEV design.
Nowadays, bidirectional converter applied in electric vehicles can provide energy stored in battery for driving motor and offer battery charging or energy recovery.
Many advanced techniques, research results or control strategy related to the bi-directional converter are explored in succession.
EXISTING SYSTEMSThe power management and circuit topologies of single-phase and multi-phase bidirectional converters including non-isolated type and isolated type are all detailed. The non-isolated converters can be categorized into: buck, boost, and buck-boost types, which are low cost, compact size, without transformer, and easy to control due to having common ground. A transformer is still essential based on safety considerations.The buck-boost type bidirectional converters not only possess step down and step up functions, but also can control the energy flow to achieve energy recovery, which is also suitable for many EV design. In order to provide high power and high current output characteristics at instant for electric vehicles, many kinds of secondary batteries are manufactured.Among the existing power batteries, lithium batteries possess higher energy density, lighter weight, and compact size.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
There are many operation mode in proposed system ,including driving of BLDC, charging of battery, and detection of the battery capacity.
There are many common used methods regarding battery charging, such as constant voltage charging, constant current charging, and pulse charging. Besides, many existing techniques of state of charge (SOC) estimation are also proposed, such as open-circuit voltage method, kilometric estimation method, impedance measurement method.

BUCK-BOOST CONVERTER EXPLANATION A BUCK-BOOST CONVERTER IS NOTHING BUT
CASCADE CONNECTION OF TWO BASIC CONVERTERS:
1.STEP-DOWN CONVERTER.
2.STEP-UP CONVERTER. THE MAIN APPLICATION .
1. IT REGULATE THE DC POWER SUPPLIES
2. THE NEGATIVE POLARITY OUTPUT MAY BE DESIRED WITH RESPECT TO THE COMMON TERMINAL OF THE IN- PUT VOLTAGE.
3. THE OUT-PUT VOLTAGE CAN BE EITHER HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THE IN PUT VOLTAGE.

CONTROL STRATEGY OF PIC18F4520 A single-chip PIC18F4520 provided by Microchip was used
to implement a control core for the proposed bi-directional converter.
This PIC has event manager and embedded control features, thereby allowing a sophisticated control algorithm to be implemented for power converting systems.
There are many operating mode in the proposed system, including driving of BLDC, charging of battery, and detection of the battery capacity. Moreover, mathematical operation capability and multi-I/O features are required.
Therefore, the PIC controller is employed to reduce component counts, to simplify controller structure, and
improve the system reliability.

PIC18F Special Features
The Watchdog Timer.:
Suppose you have written a program that is continuously running on a PIC.
Now consider this two situations.: Let us say that the PIC is monitoring an
input. When this input goes high, it jumps to another part of the program. What happen when its not getting high?
The another situation after a long period of time, the program gets stuck somewhere and the PIC gets caught in a loop.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
BRUSHLESS DC MOTOR
Similar to a permanent magnet DC motor Rotor is always the permanent magnet (internal or external) Design eliminates the need for brushes by using a more
complex drive circuit Advantages:
High efficiency High reliability Low EMI Good speed control
Disadvantages: May be more expensive than "brushed" DC motors More complex and expensive drive circuit than
"brushed" DC motors
Why a Brushless DC Motor ? Many of the limitations of the classic permanent magnet
"brushed" DC motor are caused by the brushes pressing against the rotating commutator creating friction
As the motor speed is increased, brushes may not remain in contact with the rotating commutator
At higher speeds, brushes have increasing difficulty in maintaining contact
Sparks and electric noise may be created as the brushes encounter flaws in the commutator surface or as the commutator is moving away from the just energized rotor segment
Brushes eventually wear out and require replacement, and the commutator itself is subject to wear and maintenance
Brushless DC motors avoid these problems with a modified design, but require a more complex control system
