Design and Performance Evaluation of a 750W Boost Converter for Two-Wheeler Electric Vehicle Charging

This study focuses on the development and assessment of a 750 W boost converter designed to elevate a fixed DC input voltage, making it suitable for charging electric two-wheelers such as Ola, Ather, and iQube. The converter's behavior is initially examined through small-signal analysis, considering duty cycle and voltage as the control and output variables, respectively. The performance evaluation is conducted with the help of Matlab simulations using a supplied fixed DC power source. The feasibility of the underlying power electronics converter developed in the study is also researched for integration with solar PV arrays. Experimental results verify the ability to step up an input voltage of 24V to a 36V output with an efficient ratio. The proposed design is verified to achieve an efficiency of 93.31% with the aid of Simulink, which is an effective approach to energy conversion for electric vehicle charging and for solar energy utilization.
