Modelling and Control of Bidirectional Buck-Boost Converter for Electric Vehicles Applications

Abstract

The present paper study modelling, design consideration and control of a bidirectional DC/DC buck-boost converter for application in hybrid and electric vehicles. The proposed model includes electric motor, dynamics of the vehicle and theirs control. A mathematical model of the DC/DC buck-boost converter is described with differential equations during the both the boost and buck regions of operation. The control system is created and realized with proportional-integral regulator. The proposed solution is realized in visual environment MATLAB/Simulink. The obtained results demonstrates that the proposed solution is suitable for different electric vehicles applications.
