Abstract

With its potential to improve fuel efficiency and contribute to a more sustainable energy future, electric cars will be an integral part of the transportation system of the future. For the time being, this industry is using traditional boost converters. A proposal for an interleaved boost converter for EVs is made in this article. When contrasted with the Classic boost converter, the suggested one produces higher-quality results. In this proposed work, we use a two-phase boost converter to lower the output waveform's ripple current, which is often rather significant in boost converters. It is suggested to use an Interleaved Boost Converter with MPPT to maintain a steady DC output voltage from PV systems. Electric vehicle propulsion performance and system current ripple are both enhanced by the suggested integrated circuit. A comparison was made between the traditional boost converter and the proposed converter. The simulation is conducted in MATLAB/SIMULINK, considering different irradiance and temperature values. A prototype for a 1kW PV system with a resistive load is then created. To ensure the precision and efficiency of the suggested approaches, we provide simulation and experimental findings.

Keywords: Boost converter, Interleaved boost converter, Electrical vehicles, MPPT.
