DESIGN OF BOOST CONVERTER FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE APPLICATIONS USING PI CONTROLLER

-Abstract
In recent years the availability of petroleum resources has decreased, which has paved the
way for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs). In order to achieve a better
drive range and improved performance of the motor, control techniques are necessary for the DC to
DC power converters which are used in these vehicles. Designing of linear controllers for these
converters like Proportional Integral (PI) gives constant output which improves the performance of
Drive. The above concept is tested for DC to DC boost converters in simulation in this paper.
