Development and Implementation of a Forward-Boost Hybrid Converter for Solar-Powered Electric Vehicle Charging Systems

Now a day, charging the Electric vehicle battery is the main concern. To make complete carbon free or emission less transportation, charging the battery using Non- Renewable energy will not suite well. For the development Environment and to withhold the sustainability of the society, we need to preserve the conventional energy resources and use the abundant energy called Renewable energy [1]. Integrating this with EV could be called as complete carbon free transportation. Though renewable energy such as Solar or wind is not stable or stagnant over the time, we could use an Energy storage system at the charging station end. By overcoming this unstable power generation from Solar panel, the designed converter has to feed constant Voltage and current to the energy storage. A well-within magnitude of power should be fed from the converter side. A simple kind of converter could only be used but over the large gain conditions, it results in lower conversion thus efficiency is decreased [2]. This paper will present an intelligent method for charging battery (energy storage) from Forward-Boost hybrid Converter. The gain factor was higher even at very low generation of solar power. A constant 200Volts and 20Ampere is achieved for charging the battery with the overall efficiency of nearly one hundred percent. This was simulated in MATLAB Simulink.
