Transformerless Dual Input Dual Output DC-DC Converter for Electric Vehicle Application

A Transformerless dual input dual output (TDIDO) DC-DC converter for electrical vehicle application is projected in this paper. The proposed TDIDO converter is designed for utilizing PV and fuel cells to charge the battery of EVs. The TDIDO DC-DC Converter has a dual input system, with one input from a solar PV array and the other from a fuel cell. It offers several advantages for the converter's design and operation, including the reduction of multiple power conversions, minimizing the number of components required, and the ability to boost voltage. The working of the converter, analytical waveform, loss breakdown analysis, simulation results, etc., are deliberated in the paper. A comparison of conventional converters is conveyed in the literature; the TDIDO DC-DC converter uses one diode, one inductor, two capacitors, and three switches.
