The Analysis, Modeling, and Control of the Forward DC/DC Converter for the Electric Vehicle

Abstract

This article deals with the analysis, modeling, and control of the DC/DC converters. Although it is considered with the analysis of the power semiconductor converters in general however it can be applied also to sophisticated electronic devices perfectly suitable for on-board applications of a huge variety of transport vehicles. Specifically, as an example, the Forward type topology is used which offers the advantage of the galvanic isolation of output. The task is to obtain a state space description of the system, the transfer function of the control, and design controller parameters using MATLAB. The state space model and the transfer function is implemented for the ideal and nonideal type of topology, where it is considered with at least some parasitic parameters of circuit elements to get closer to real results of the physical sample and to compare obtained transfer functions based on their frequency characteristics.
