A Multiport DC-DC Converter for Plug-in Electric Vehicle Charging with Photovoltaic and Fuel Cell Technology

The utilization of petroleum products has enormous scope and the natural issues coming about because of the discharge of contaminating gases into the air have made the requirement for change in portability propensities in the present day-to-day routine. Plug-in electric or hybrid vehicles are emerging as a market solution for reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency. The performance of an electric vehicle is heavily reliant on the electrical system's accuracy and efficiency. A series or parallel connection of solar PV modules and charge controllers may be used to supply batteries with electrical power. In order to make use of the ultimate power point in the solar panel, a Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) controller is used. The DC-DC converter boosts the DC voltage generated by the solar PV panel before feeding it to a voltage source inverter. Inverters convert DC electricity provided by solar panels into AC power and then track brushless DC motors, which control vehicle electronics. It is proposed to use DC-DC converters and bidirectional converters to charge EV batteries. If solar energy is insufficient, fuel cells are employed to recharge the battery. The hub motor is coupled with a single-phase alternator in the proposed work, and the power generated while running is fed to the battery. Simulink and MAT LAB are used to simulate and analyze the performance of the hybrid system.
