The present paper introduces a novel approach for voltage control during the charging and discharging of a battery of an electric vehicle. The control algorithm joins a conventional PID controller together with a Fuzzy-PID controller, in order to compute the command signal. The effectiveness evaluation of the control algorithm is computed by simulation and tested in the context of charging a battery using solar energy harnessed from photovoltaic (PV) panels. This hybrid approach employs a Phase-Shifted Full-Bridge (PSFB) converter as actuator. By comparing the step response of the charging process of the PID controller with the response of the proposed hybrid controller, improved results were obtained in terms of performance for the latter one.
