Development and Application of an Energy Management System for Electric Vehicles Integrated with Multi-input DC-DC Bidirectional Buck-Boost Converter

Abstract

The rise in environmental pollution, demand for fossil fuels, and higher fuel economy vehicles has raised concerns about the creation of new and efficient transportation vehicles in recent days. These days, most developments in electr ic vehicles concentrate on making the vehicles more pleasant to ride in. Nonetheless, the emphasis now should be on energy and i ts most efficient use. To do this, you must give your attention to the origin of the automobile. The answer to this problem may be found in hybrid energy storage systems (HESS). This work is concerned with the design and implementation of an effective ener gy management system in electric vehicles (EVs) equipped with an active HESS consisting of a battery and a super capacitor via t he incorporation of load sharing into this hybridization under a variety of load demand scenarios. To address the demands of high fuel efficiency vehicles, automotive firms are focusing on the development of diesel-engine operated vehicles, electric vehicles, fuel-cell vehicles, plug-in electric vehicles, and hybrid electric vehicles. A Multi-input Bidirectional Buck-Boost (MIB3) DC-DC converter is proposed in this dissertation to provide a greater conversion ratio to the input DC voltage. The multi-input converter recommended has fewer components and a simpler control method, making it more trustworthy and cost-effective. This converter also has bidirectional power flow functionality, making it suitable for charging the battery during regenerative braking in an electric or hybrid vehicle. Three different energy sources are used in the suggested topology: a photovoltaic (PV) panel, a battery, and an ultra-capacitor.
