  • Abstract:
  • Electric vehicles (EVs) are quickly becoming more common than traditional cars that use fuel because they are more efficient, produce less pollution, and perform better in driving situations. In an EV, power electronics are very important because they help move and control electricity between the high-voltage battery and other parts of the car, such as lights, entertainment systems, control units, and other small electric devices. A key part of this electricity control system is the DC-DC converter, which needs to work efficiently, take up little space, and remain reliable even when conditions change, like when the car is under different loads or temperatures. This project introduces a new design for a DC-DC converter that is tailored for use inside EVs. The main goals are to reduce energy loss, improve how quickly the system responds to changes, and make sure it meets the strict standards required for car use. The design starts by choosing the best type of DC-DC converter that fits the needs of an EV. This involves considering factors like whether the system needs to isolate electrical parts, how much voltage it needs to handle, the amount of current it can manage, and how efficient it can be. Some common options include non-isolated types like buck, buck-boost, or bidirectional converters, and isolated types like the dual-active-bridge (DAB). Each option is evaluated to see which one works best for use in EVs. Once the best type is chosen, it is fine-tuned by carefully selecting and modeling all the parts, such as MOSFETs or IGBTs, inductors, capacitors, and magnetic components.
