Switched Capacitor Voltage Converter for Electric Vehicles

Switched-Capacitor (SC) Voltage Boost Converter presents the method for controlling electrical vehicles. The power conversion technique of AC-DC and DC-AC is implemented. The response of Switched Capacitor is faster than the Voltage Source Inverter (VSI). The usage of large inductor is eliminated which leads to better energy density and lower cost. The voltage across the load is identified as 420 V when the input is 100V through the simulation circuit. The Simulink model for the converter is designed and simulated through MATLAB 2021. The prototype of the project is developed with L=1.5mH and C=470uF with an input voltage of 100V. Through this prototype, the output voltage of the boost converter is obtained as 318Vmax, Where the efficiency of the voltage is observed as 87% on comparing the simulation and hardware results.
