Abstract

A multi-input dc-dc converter is proposed and studied for hybrid electric vehicles. Compared to conventional works, the output gain is increased. Fuel cell (FC), photovoltaic panel, and energy storage system are the input sources for the proposed converter. The FC is considered as the main power supply, and roof-top PV is employed to charge the battery, increase the efficiency, and reduce fuel economy. The converter has the capability of providing the demanded power by load in absence of one or two resources. Moreover, the power management strategy is described and applied in a control method. Also the proposed concept not only for HEV and also we can use these type of systems for grid connected systems using separate converter. The overall system is designed and simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
