Synchronous Boost Converter Design for an E-Scooter Application and Comparison with Conventional Boost Converter

This study presents the performance of a designed Synchronous Boost Converter for an E-Scooter application and compares it with a Conventional Boost Converter. The study's primary objective is to boost the 12 Volt battery output to 24 Volts in a controllable manner and transmit this boosted voltage to the motor driver. This approach offers several advantages, including enhancing the stability of the input voltage, strengthening short-circuit resilience by increasing impedance on the motor side, reducing voltage ripple, and increasing the overload capacity of the motor by increasing 24 Volts when necessary. Simulations conducted in PLECS and control parameters obtained through the Bode Diagram Method were used to compare the performance of the Synchronous Boost Converter and Conventional Boost Converter. The study results indicate that the losses of the Synchronous Boost Converter have decreased by 45% compared to the Conventional Boost Converter, and its efficiency has reached 96.08%.
