Scheming of Four-Phase IBC for Fast Charging of EV Battery

In today's world, the Automobile industry is shifting rapidly from conventional ICE Vehicles to EVs. As the name suggests, EVs use electric motors instead of gasoline engines. Increase in demand of EV leads to increase in demand of power electronic converters to make electrical circuitry more and more efficient. Efficiency during battery charging can be enhanced by shrinking the losses and ripples in the output voltage of converters. The interleaving concept comes into the picture to reduce the losses along with ripples in output voltage, the reduction in the size of components, and faster response. This paper focuses on working of a four-phase interleaved boost converter for the rapid charging of EV batteries. The simulation of the proposed circuit is executed in MATLAB/SIMULINK and the results are validated. The result compares a conventional boost converter with an interleaved boost converter. The simulation outcomes highlight how the interleaved boost converter (IBC) boosts the input voltage.
