Abstract

This paper presents a photovoltaic (PV)-interfaced dual-drive hybrid electric vehicle (PV-DDHEV) based on dual boost three-port DC–DC converter to increase the fuel efficiency of the electric vehicle by increasing the conversion efficiency of the converters. HEV designed with the photovoltaic (PV) power system requires a DC–DC converter to enhance the PV array output voltage to the level demanded by the drive inverters. Normally, the high gain of DC conversion is obtained by connecting two or more DC–DC converters in series with each other. The series connection of the converters reduces the conversion efficiency and increases the cost of the unit. In this paper, a three-port DC–DC converter designed with a two-winding high-frequency transformer is proposed to offer high voltage gain with reduced number of active and passive elements. In addition to this, the power management algorithm incorporated with the proposed PV-DDHEV reduces the power consumption of the drive motor by estimating the drive torque requirement. The MATLAB simulink and experimental prototype results are presented to validate the proposed PV-DDHEV.
