Week 4 Session 5
various applications of power converters in an electric vehicle:
- In case of interfacing the Fuel Cell, the DC/DC converter is used to boost the Fuel Cell voltage and to regulate the DC-link voltage. However, a reversible DC/DC converter is needed to interface the SCs module.
- used in DC motor drives and electric traction. Bidirectional DC-DC converters find applications in places where battery charging, regenerative braking, and backup power are required.
- It is used in auxiliary battery charging used for headlights and other dashboard lights converting high-voltage DC to low-voltage DC.
