DESIGN AND SIMULATION OF NEW MULTI INPUT POWER CONVERTER FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE APPLICATION
Keywords:
-Abstract
The objective of this paper is to propose a Multi-input power converter for the hybrid system in order to
simplify the power system and reduce the cost. Renewable energy technologies offers clean, abundant energy gathered
from self-renewing resources such as the sun, wind etc. As the power demand increases, power failure also increases. So,
renewable energy sources can be used to provide constant loads. A new converter topology for Electric vehicle system is
proposed. Hybridizing solar and wind power sources provide a realistic form of power generation. The topology uses a
fusion of Buck converters. This configuration allows the two sources to supply the load separately or simultaneously
depending on the availability of the energy sources. Simulation is carried out in MATLAB/ SIMULINK software and the
results of the Buck converter and the hybridized converter are presented.
