IIT Madras Develops Predictive Control Technology for Off-Board EV Chargers

Researchers at IIT Madras have developed a pioneering predictive control framework for off-board electric vehicle (EV) chargers. This technology aims to tackle slow charging speeds, battery degradation, and the strain on the national power grid caused by large-scale EV charging. By ensuring smoother electricity flow, it enhances battery life, safety, and reduces maintenance costs. The innovation, validated for real-world use, represents a global first in comprehensive predictive control for off-board charging systems.
