Design and execution of single input multiple output DC-DC converter

Abstract

Electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles are seen as the future of the automotive industry with its aim to replace the conventional combustion engine vehicle. The conventional Multi-Input Multi-Output topology used in the electric and hybrid electric vehicle applications. The weaknesses of this topology are the complexity of circuit which increases the size of the converter and overall cost. In this research, the novel idea would be to implement the Single-Input Multi-Output DC-DC converter topology in an electric vehicle. The proposed idea will be able to overcome the downsides of the conventional method of the DC-DC converter used in electric vehicle and thus benefiting users. The limitations of this research would be the implementation of the system in a real electric vehicle. The circuit designed will be simulated, fabricated and evaluated.
