A dual input single output non-isolated DC-DC converter for multiple sources electric vehicle applications

There is a need to design DC-DC converters capable of handling high voltages and that employ single-stage conversion integrate renewable energy resources, such as solar photovoltaic cells fuel cells, for electric vehicle applications. This paper elucidates the analysis dual input single output non-isolated Cuk-derived converter with step-up ratio. The proposed can effectively handle two different resources have electrical characteristics. It makes use one common inductor between port, which reduces passive components circuit volume required. maximum efficiency be achieved by this 95.72%, main switches diode in circuit. study involved detailed continuous current operation mode. A reduced ripple improves cell’s operating life-span. efficacy verified through simulation validated constructing 200 W, real-time, scaled-down prototype model.
