Simulation of a ZVS Interleaved Boost DC-DC Converter by using Photovoltaic System

This paper a novel yet simple zero-voltage switching (ZVS) interleaved boost power factor correction (PFC )DC/DC converter used to charge the traction battery of an electric vehicle from the utility systems. The proposed topology consists of a passive auxiliary circuit, placed between two phases of the interleaved front-end boost DC-DC converter, provides enough current to charge and discharge the MOSFETs’ output capacitors during turn-ON times. Therefore, the MOSFETs are turned ON at zero voltage. Now-a-days renewable energy resources are plays an important role in our globe which decreases the global warming, decreases the pollution, noise free and availability of energy for to fulfill the user interests. It decreases the cost of the proposed system and also improves the system voltage with the same ZVS interleaved boost converter with the help of the photovoltaic system for the battery energy storage of an electrical vehicle application. This solar based novel interleaved DC-DC boost converter can be controlled with the controlled input voltage, input current and the output voltage by using a sinusoidal pulse width modulation with the different carrier signals for the interleaved switches and the converter switches with 180 degrees phase shift which increase the efficiency of the system.
