The control unit is configured to: receive a first charging request transmitted by the BMS and control an AC power source and/or an energy storage unit to charge the battery; receive a first discharging request transmitted by the BMS and discharging a power of the battery according to the first discharging request; and receive a second charging request transmitted by the BMS and control the AC power source and/or the energy storage unit to charge the battery.

A system and method of a multi-channel, multi-mode electric vehicle (EV) AC to DC charger has power channels, each power channel contains an AC/DC converter and corresponding DC/DC regulator. Each channel is configured to supply DC power to a channel-connected EV. The charger also has a controllable bridging switch, connected in parallel between the power channels and disposed before or after the DC/DC regulators, and provides an intermediary path between the power channels. It also contains controllable series switches, after the DC/DC regulators to provide a break in a power channel output path. A controller controls the AC/DC converters, DC/DC regulators, bridging and series switches. The charger is multi-mode capable, enabling (a) charging an EV, (b) directing power from one channel's connected end device to another channel's connected end device, (c) injecting real or reactive power back to an AC power source, (d) active AC filtering, and (d) phase balancing.

The application provides a method, a charging-discharging device, a cloud server, a system and a medium for charging-discharging interaction, which belong to the fields of electric power technologies. The method for charging-discharging interaction includes: the charging-discharging device transmits a vehicle-to-grid V2G function confirmation message to a battery management system of a target vehicle; when no V2G function feedback message fed back by the battery management system is received within a preset period of time after transmitting the V2G function confirmation message, the charging-discharging device transmits a first indication message to a cloud server to indicate that the target vehicle is V2G-disabled; in response to a non-V2G charging instruction received from the cloud server, the charging-discharging device performs a non-V2G charging for the target vehicle. The availability of the charging-discharging device can be improved according to embodiments of the present application.

A powertrain for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle applications with integrated three-phase AC charging featuring buck-boost operation and optional vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capability, along with corresponding methods and machine instruction sets for switch control. The powertrain can include of a three-phase current source converter (CSC) front-end with an associated input filter, a polarity inversion module, and in an embodiment, a dual-inverter motor drive. The dual-inverter drive is the source of both the back emf and requisite DC inductance for the CSC. A compact design is thus provided as no additional magnetics are required and the on-board cooling system required for traction mode can be re-deployed for charging and V2G mode. The powertrain is mode shifted between charging and V2G mode through an optional polarity inversion module.
