REQUIREMENT OF CONVERTER IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES


In case of interfacing the Fuel Cell, the DC/DC converter is used to boost the Fuel Cell

voltage and to regulate the DC-link voltage. However, a reversible DC/DC converter is needed to
interface the SCs module. However some design considerations are essential for automotive
applications:

Light weight,

High efficiency,

Small volume,

Low electromagnetic interference,

Low current ripple drawn from the Fuel Cell or the battery,

The step up function of the converter,

Control of the DC/DC converter power flow subject to the wide voltage variation on the
converter input.
A full-bridge DC/DC converter is the most frequently implemented circuit configuration

for fuel-cell power conditioning when electrical isolation is required. The full bridge DC/DC
converter is suitable for high-power transmission because switch voltage and current are not
high. It has small input and output current and voltage ripples. The full-bridge topology is a
favorite for zero voltage switching (ZVS) pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques.

OUTLINE THESIS
CHAPTER 2: Describe about the various converters used before the automatic buck and

boost converter. Each converter topology has its advantages and its drawbacks. For example, The
DC/DC boost converter does not meet the criteria of electrical isolation. Moreover, the large

variance in magnitude between the input and output imposes severe stresses on the switch and
this topology suffers from high current and voltage ripples and also big volume and weight.
CHAPTER 3: Describe about The design mainly consist of Buck circuit,Boost circuit,
Driver circuit. The PWM waves are generated by PIC microcontroller. Pulse-Width Modulation
(PWM) are use for controlling analog circuits with a processors digital output. PWM uses a
square wave whose duty cycle is modulated resulting in the variation of the average value of the
waveform. PWM can be used to reduce the total amount of power delivered to a load without
losses normally incurred when a power source is limited by resistive means. This is because the
average power delivered is proportional to the modulation duty cycle.
CHAPTER 4: Describe about the various blocks in the hardware model .It may consist of
PIC Microcontroller, Driver circuit, Buck and Boost circuit. Mosfet driver is main
component of power electronics circuits. Mosfet drivers are dedicated
integrated circuits which are used to drive Mosfets in low side and high side
configuration. Mosfet driver TL250 like other MOSFET drivers have input
stage and output stage. It also have power supply configuration. TLP250 is
more suitable for MOSFET and IGBT.pwm waves are generated by using PIC
microcontroller.
CHAPTER 5: Describes about the simulation circuit of the proposed
system. Here two MOSFETs are triggered by PWM pulses generated by a PWM circuit. On
the other hand there is a capacitor on the left end along with the voltage sense which is connected
in series with an inductor for storing the energy and CHAPTER 7 is the conclusion
