Abstract

Multi-port unidirectional/bidirectional DC-DC Converters are the significant solution for Electric Vehicle (EV) applications. This paper focuses on a non-isolated dual input dual output (four-port) DC-DC Converter that can be applied for EV applications. This topology of DC-DC converter can provide both step-up and step-down outputs simultaneously. This converter comprises of less number of components and its control method is also simple which makes this converter simple, reliable and economical. This converter also exhibits bidirectional power flow operation making it more suitable for battery charging of an electric vehicle during the regenerative braking operation. In this paper, four-port (dual-input, dual-output) DC-DC converter has been designed and simulated on MATLAB Simulink. The simulation outcomes verify the performance of the four-port DC-DC Converter.
