Abstract—Electric vehicles (EVs) always integrate into the [4]. This capability has led to the vehicle to grid (V2G)

authors have suggested a VSC that configures the charging
station connected to the grid using PI control. Based on
the literature survey, the following consequences could
be depicted. The bidirectional modes of VSC in EVs
application are not discussed. Almost all the authors
have considered the VSC in G2V and V2G separately for
battery charging/discharging. The transition between a
grid-tied and islanded mode in the perspective of V2G
and G2V along with grid transients is found missing.
Furthermore, the non-linear robust controllers are noticed
lacking in the current problem. In this regard, the authors Fig. 2. VSC Control Strategy
have proposed a FOSMC of VSC in EVs application. The

Now considering the derivative of (10) and (11) with
inclusion of (12) and (13), the proposed FOSMC sliding

obtained as
Sd· = i·dg − i·dr + λRL Dα (sig(%d )γ ) (16)
Sq· = i·qg − i·qr + λRL Dα (sig(%q )γ ) (17)
Terms idr and iqr are supposed to be constant and have
very small changes. Consequently (16) and (17) yields
Sd· = i·dg + λRL Dα (sig(%d )γ ) (18)
Sq· = i·qg + λRL Dα (sig(%q )γ ) (19)
From (5) and (6), by substituting the value of i¨dqg into
(18) and (19), the resultant equation becomes
Sd· = fd (.) + ymd + xd + λRL Dα (sig(%d )γ ) (20)
Sq· = fq (.) + ymq + xq + λRL Dα (sig(%q )γ ) (21)
