DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF UNIVERSAL CONVERTER

Project Code :TEMAPE199

Objective

The main objective of this project is to design and implement the universal converter for Electric Vehicle applications.

Abstract

In this project, a newly designed universal converter is depicted for all forms of power conversions which include step-up and step-down operations. Universal operations include rectifier, inverter, DC-DC converter, and AC voltage control operations in multi-input and multi-output circuits. The circuit consists of power switches such as six transistors, four thyristors, and two diodes, along with two inductors and two capacitors. Inductor role is important for step-up and step-down voltage levels from the source to the required output. Existing converter numbers of switches are reduced from twenty-six to twelve in the proposed converter to obtain efficient operations. The circuit is initially developed in MATLAB/Simulink platform by using a mathematical model and finally, feasibility and effectiveness have been tested in the hardware test bench model. This converter is highly recommended for wind-solar powered self-charging hybrid electric vehicles.


Keywords:Rectifier, inverter, DC-DC converter, AC voltage controller, step-up, step-down.
