Performance Analysis and Hardware Implementation of A Dual Input Triple Output DC-DC Converter for EV application

Electric vehicles reduce the on-board emission of pollutants but fail in resource consumption since grid-charged batteries rely on fossil fuel consumption. Vehicles based on renewable sources further eliminate this issue delivering completely pollution-free traction. This paper evaluates an erickshaw power train fed by PV and DC battery hybrid through a dual input triple output converter topology and investigates the performance of such vehicle through simulation. A multiinput multi-output converter reduces component count and extra losses while improving space utilization and packaging. Hardware implementation is done to analyze the proposed topology. This converter will extensively improve power train efficiency while reducing losses.
