A fully decentralized controlled (FDC) electric vehicle (EV) charger, where its design is intended to mitigate the charging impact on power grids, is proposed in this paper. The proposed FDC EV charger uses the parameters measured from the power grid, EV charger and EV battery pack to adjust the charging current. Fuzzy logic control is used in this paper to integrate these measured parameters into the proposed FDC EV charger. As the proposed charger can be realized without a centralized control center and information exchanges between EV chargers, an FDC scheme for EV charger can therefore be effectively achieved. A prototype of the proposed FDC EV charger with a rated power of 500 W is implemented. Experimental results verify that the proposed charger can automatically adjust the charging current according to variations in the power grid and EV. Simulations analyze the impact of 100 EVs with a rated power of 7 kW charged simultaneously. Simulation results show that the EV charging impact on power grids can be effectively mitigated by the proposed FDC EV chargers.
