High gain novel Two input Two output buck - boost converter for electric vehicle applications

ABSTRACTWith the advancements in electric vehicles in the market, it is necessary to rephrase the converter for effective gain. The proposed Two Input – Two Output (TITO) converter accepts input from two sources: Battery and Solar PV panel included with non-isolated buck, boost, and buck-boost DC-DC converters. Also, the proposed TITO converter topology uses only three switches when compared to conventional multiport converter where the number of semiconductor switches are higher. The conventional converter has a higher number of components whereas the proposed converter has a reduced number of conduction components as well as switching semiconductors. As a result, there is a reduction in energy lost. The proposed topology is designed and simulated in MATLAB Simulink and observed with a lower ripple voltage during buck, boost and buck-boost mode. The experimental setup results are also obtained from the prototype of the proposed converter which confirms the theoretical considerations and effectiveness of the proposed topology.KEYWORDS: BLDCbuckboost and buck-boost converterEV lightingMultiportSolar PVDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).
