Item A Two Switch Multiport Non-Isolated DC-DC Converter for On-Board EV Charging Application(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Vinusha, B.; Kishan, D.; Kalpana, R.This paper proposes multiport DC-DC converter for on-board charger (OBC) EV applications with simultaneous charging of high voltage (HV) battery and low voltage (LV) battery. The evolution of this converter involves replacing the switch found in a conventional step-up converter with a pair of series-connected switches. This arrangement allows for an additional switch node that generates a LV output. the proposed converter has benefits of high voltage gain for HV side, continuous input current, a reduced switching count, regulation of two battery voltages with two switches. Moreover, the inherent shoot-through protection enhances the converter's reliability. The proposed converter exhibits same working principle as that of conventional boost and buck converters. Consequently, the control system methodology remains consistent with that of separate converters, ensuring precise regulation of each output. The working principle, design analysis is discussed. To validate the theoretical analysis, detailed simulation results are presented. © 2024 IEEE.Item Three-Leg DC-DC Converter for Efficient Inductive Power Transfer of Electric Vehicles for Wide-Range Battery Applications(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Vinod, M.; Kishan, D.; Dastagiri Reddy, B.D.The design of an inductive power transfer system for different electric vehicle (EV) models with widely varied battery pack voltages has been a challenging task. The majority of modern EV models are equipped with 400 or 800 V battery packs. To charge both batteries efficiently, an additional dc-dc converter on the receiver side is employed, which reduces the overall system efficiency and also increases the cost. This letter proposes a reduced switch count novel converter to charge distinct EV models without degrading the efficiency of the system. The proposed converter has two operating modes, a voltage doubler mode to charge an 800 V battery and a current doubler mode to charge a 400 V battery at the same power level. MATLAB/Simulink simulations have been carried out to verify the performance of the three-leg converter for both 400 and 800 V batteries at 7.2 kW. Furthermore, a laboratory prototype of the proposed converter for 500 W has been built using the silicon carbide (SiC) devices, and the results obtained are provided. © 1986-2012 IEEE.
