PI controlled Bi-directional DC-DC converter (BDDDC) and highly efficient boost converter for electric vehicles

Abstract

Due to the constraint of the fuel, the electric vehicle is designed for the modern world. Bidirectional DC to DC converters (BDDDC) has significantly enlarged the interest in Electric vehicle applications. A bidirectional DC to DC converter for Electric Vehicle (EV) for driving a DC motor is the aim of this present work. In a bi directional converter (conventional) PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) pulse is castoff for the generation of triggering pulse of the switches. We use PI and PID controller for triggering the IGBTs of DC to DC converter. A comparison is done between the three types of bidirectional dc to dc converter. Then a boost converter is designed over conventional boost converter by using parallel combinations of IGBT and MOSFET for electric vehicle applications.
