Abstract

A single independent voltage source ( V i n or V b a t ) is used to regulate the speed of an E-vehicle (EV) with the same interval of switching pulses to generate different voltage ratios by charging/discharging the flying capacitors using a novel single-input multi-output (SIMO) DC-DC switched capacitor converter. In this work, various speed transmissions are generated for controlling the speed of EVs. The selected and regulated battery voltage are generated using the SIMO DC-DC converter. The proposed converter is used to generate seven different transmission in total, of which four transmissions are used for motoring (forwarding operation) and the other three transmissions act as regenerative braking. For motoring operation, the battery, fuel cell, and photovoltaic cell are used as a sources of energy, and for the regenerative braking, the regenerated voltage is fed back to store the battery. The SIMO DC-DC converter is used to support electronic accessories, such as LED lights, the EV audio system and other accessories, including mobile and laptop battery charging. The energy recovered during regenerative braking is used to charge the battery via a proposed SIMO DC-DC converter for different speed transmissions. In addition, simulation, modeling, and analysis are used to validate the proposed system. It is intended for a fixed voltage of 12 V and output voltages ranging from 12 to 48 V. The PSIM simulation tool is used to validate the system. The validation demonstrates that the suggested converter shows good evidence for both braking and regenerative braking operations.
