Small-Scale Electric Vehicle DC-DC converter for Nano-grids Applications

چکیده
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a self-sustained charging system that does not cost you any money on your electric bill? Electric car owners know that even though their cars do not require gasoline to run, they will require electricity and like everyone else that is tied to the grid will have to pay a price per kilowatt hour that is determined by their utility company. With gasoline prices falling somewhat in the past year the hype of electric vehicles has been somewhat less but who knows what the oil market is going to be like in the future, so why not be prepared. Our paper involves implementing an electric vehicle charging station that uses harvested energy from the sun. Key-Words: DC-DC Converter, EV, Battery, Photovoltaic.

In this paper, a two-surfaces sliding mode controller (TSSMC) is proposed for the voltage tracking control of a two input DC-DC converter in application of electric vehicles (EVs). The imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is used for tuning TSSMC parameters. The proposed controller significantly improves the transient response and disturbance rejection of the two input converters while p...
متن کاملDC-DC converter for Hybrid Electric Vehicle and EV
One of the most critical issues for the environment today is pollution generated by hydrocarbon combustion, which is one of the main sources of power for transportation. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and full electric vehicles (EV) are rapidly advancing as alternative power trains for green transportation. The vehicles’ electrification not only involves the traction parts, but it is also gener...
متن کاملIsolated Bidirectional DC-DC Converter for Hybrid Electric Vehicle Applications
Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) offer many advantages, such as high fuel economy, low emissions, and silent operation. In HEVs, there are two or more different voltage buses for different purposes of the vehicle operation. There are needs of galvanically isolated bidirectional DC-DC converter to link different DC voltage bus and transfer energy back and forth. For example, on of the DC-DC conve...
