Abstract:

This paper compares two DC-DC converters to apply electric vehicle charging. The primary supply source is the solar photovoltaic system, whereas the battery is an auxiliary power unit. They power up the BLDC motor. SEPIC and CukSEPIC converters are used for comparative analysis. A control logic has been designed, implementing the regenerative braking logic. With regenerative braking, the energy gets stored in the vehicle battery, by which the vehicle’s drive range can be increased. Incremental Conductance MPPT draws the most power from the photovoltaic panel. Switching logic to the gate of the inverter is given to avoid using an additional bi-directional DC-DC converter to reverse current flow during braking action. This reduces the cost, and the efficiency increases. The entire system is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink.

Keywords:

BLDC motor, SEPIC converter, Cuk-SEPIC converter, Regenerative braking, Incremental conductance.
