Abstract

There is a drift in automotive industry from conventional internal combustion engines (ICE) to Electric Vehicles (EVs). This drift from ICE to EVs counts to the reduced carbon emission and thus reducing environmental pollution. EVs also find a solution for increasing fossil fuel costs. When it comes to renewable energy sources, typically to solar energy, it is affluent and reliable. The usefulness of solar energy is maximized by the incorporation of advanced power converter topologies along with their advanced controls. This paper aims to compare some of the boost converter topologies that are used in EV applications with solar photovoltaic powered charging stations. The comparative study is conducted on various parameters, such as DC voltage gain, duty-cycle, efficiency, voltage stress, merits, and demerits. Simulation results are analyzed and compared using MATLAB/Simulink platform.
