Performance Evaluation of EV Charging Station with Bidirectional Power Flow for Grid Support ApplicationsBy Amit pandhare, Aditya Kumbhar, Vaibhav Godase
Abstract: The swift increase in the number of electric vehicles (EVs) brings considerable prospects and difficulties for contemporary power distribution networks. This paper presents the performance evaluation of a 20 kW bidirectional EV charging station designed to facilitate both Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) power flow for enhanced smart grid support applications. The proposed topology integrates an AC/DC bidirectional converter interfaced to the 415 V, 50 Hz three-phase utility grid through …

Bidirectional DC–DC Converter Design and Control for EV Charging Stations with Grid Support CapabilityBy Aditya Kumbhar, Amit pandhare, Vaibhav Godase
Abstract: The rapid proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs) has intensified the demand for advanced charging infrastructure capable of delivering reliable, efficient, and grid-aware power management. Conventional unidirectional chargers are inadequate for modern smart-grid applications, as they preclude the utilization of stored battery energy for grid support functions. This paper presents the design, mathematical modeling, and simulation-based validation of a non-isolated bidirectional DC–DC buck–boost converter rated at 20 kW for EV charging …

Interfacial Engineering and Performance Optimization of Jute-Fiber-Reinforced Epoxy LaminatesBy Vaibhav Godase, Amit pandhare, Shivam Pandhare
Abstract: The increasing environmental concerns associated with synthetic fiber reinforced polymer composites have driven substantial research interest toward naturally derived, biodegradable fiber alternatives. This study presents a comprehensive mechanical and thermal characterization of jute fiber reinforced epoxy composites fabricated via hand lay-up followed by compression molding. Jute fibers were subjected to alkali treatment using 5 wt% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution for 4 hours at ambient temperature to enhance fiber–matrix interfacial bonding …

Mechanical and Thermal Characterization of Natural Fiber-Reinforced Epoxy Composites for Structural ApplicationsBy Vaibhav Godase, Amit pandhare, Shivam Pandhare
Abstract: Natural fiber reinforced polymer (NFRP) composites have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional synthetic fiber composites owing to their environmental sustainability, low density, and competitive specific mechanical properties. However, a comprehensive and simultaneous evaluation of both mechanical and thermal performance of jute/sisal hybrid natural fiber epoxy composites under systematic fiber treatment conditions remains insufficiently addressed in the literature. The present study investigates the mechanical and thermal characterization of jute and …
