 Abstract

 In Electric Vehicles (EVs), a Bi-directional converter is incorporated since the power flow will be in

reverse direction while regenerative braking and by collecting this power, effective operation can be
achieved.
 Enhance energy efficiency and sustainability in transportation technologies, particularly in electric
vehicles
 Description o f Bi-directional DC-D C converter has given with high voltage gain, continuous
current conduction
 This is applicable in Electric vehicles, Distribution Generation, Energy Storage Units and Micro
grids.
 Introduction

 During the vehicle operation, the power required for the motor needs to be provided by the battery.
 A step-up DC-DC converter is required to give the power from Battery to motor.
 During the regenerative braking the power flow will be in the reverse direction
 In order to store regenerative power, onboard converters need to Bidirectional.
 Hence Bidirectional Buck Boost converter are employed.
 A Bi-directional DC-DC converter which is an electronic device used to convert electrical power
between two DC voltage levels bidirectionally.
 This means it can either step up the voltage from a lower level to a higher level or step down the voltage
from a higher level to a lower level, depending on the application's requirements.
 Problem Statement

To design a bidirectional DC-DC converter system having high voltage gain and efficiency, capable of
efficiently managing energy flow during regenerative braking in electric vehicles. This involves
developing a converter that can seamlessly switch between stepping up the voltage for energy storage
during braking and stepping down the voltage for power delivery to the vehicle's battery and system,
ensuring optimal energy transfer and overall system performance
