Design and Control of Modified Super Lift Luo Converter for Electric Vehicle Applications

Abstract

Most of the developed and developing countries focused on the renewable energy sources conversion into alternate energy sources to compete with the depletion of conservative resources. The quality of this energy should be high because it will be used in every nook and corner of the world. The most applicable renewable source of energy is solar, which can be getting directly from the sun by a solar photovoltaic array. The power from the SPV array is irregular, so there is a need for DC-DC converters to generate the regulated constant power. This proposed work developed a Modified Super Lift Luo Converter (MSLLC) with high energy conversion. This converter is more effective than existing converters and it can also boost up the voltage up to 8.17 times the input voltage. The proposed MSLLC converter can attain better efficiency at 93.94% at 1000 W/m² irradiance.
