Abstract

Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) technology is a viable and cost-effective alternative to traditional automobiles. It improves performance while increasing fuel efficiency and lowering hazardous emissions. Because of the depletion of conventional resources and quantified carbon emissions, the technology has gotten a lot of attention. This study examines the use of a bidirectional converter to manage energy sources in electric vehicles. For the application Electric Vehicle Systems, the proposed Bidirectional converter combines a Main Energy Source and an Auxiliary Energy Source. Low voltage dual source powering mode (accelerating mode) and low voltage dual source buck/boost mode are both possible with the converter in question. This converter can also adjust the power flow between two voltage sources separately. Except for their energy and power densities, batteries and super capacitors are generally interchangeable. The major goal of this research is to explain how Super Capacitors can aid in the control of energy sources in electric vehicles. A super capacitor has a higher power density but a lower energy density than a battery, and vice versa. The study’s simulation work is done on the MATLAB/Simulink platform.
