Comprehensive review of topological evolution and control advancements in Luo family converters for electric vehicles

Electric Vehicles (EVs) use battery powered systems for traction and auxiliary loads. These systems require converters to regulate voltage. LUO family converters support voltage boosting and bucking operations. Power factor correction is a key factor in shaping the input current. This paper discusses recent studies on modified LUO Converters. The review is focused on converter structure, control technique and performance under various loading conditions. Control strategies include sliding mode, fuzzy logic and parameter tuning methods. Simulation based and experimental observations are recorded. The review aims to support better choices in converter and controller selection for electric vehicle applications.
