Robust Non-Inverting Dual Input DC-DC Buck-Boost Converter for Multiple Voltage Output: A MATLAB SIMULINK Study for Electric Vehicle Applications

In recent years, solar energy has gained significant prominence in electricity generation, and its significance is also growing in the domain of electric vehicles (EVs). EVs primarily rely on battery power, which can be recharged using solar panels in conjunction with a direct current (dc) source. This arrangement enables EVs to operate on renewable energy, potentially extending their driving range. In the present investigation, a DC-DC converter has been devised capable of harnessing power from two distinct sources. This converter is proficient in providing diverse voltage levels to facilitate the charging of EV batteries. Remarkably, the converter's output reaches a steady state within a short duration, approximately 55 milliseconds. This observed configuration unequivocally manifests the converter's ability to maintain a constant voltage level of 220V, notwithstanding fluctuations in input from the two sources. The design and analysis of the circuit were conducted using MATLAB SIMULINK technology.
