J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 13, No 3 (2024) pp. 161-170
Abstract
The electric vehicle is an upcoming technology that upgrades the biosphere and diminishes pollution across the globe. Electric Vehicles powered by batteries mitigate the problem of the emission of greenhouse gases and air pollution. Research has been undertaken lately to integrate sources of renewable energy to electrify the E-Vehicle to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels, making it an eco-friendly and nil carbon emission transport system. The increased usage and the forecasted growth of E- -vehicles urge the research to be centered on power electronic converters to attain highly efficient, cost-effective, and reliable charging infrastructure for the vehicle battery. The pivot necessity is to provide electricity to the E-vehicle efficiently and continuously. Apart from battery and grid voltage levels, electric vehicles have several systems operating at a variety of power levels. This makes the role of DC/DC converters inevitable in EV operation. This paper presents various DC/DC converter topologies that are employed in EV charging and power conversion techniques. Basic topology and working are first described along with recent developments and variants of basic topologies are also presented.
