The need for electric vehicles is expanding vastly and so are the methods by which electric vehicle technology could help to reduce the carbon production and make the environment more pollution free. This research emphasizes on power electronic systems such as Buck and Boost converters used in electric vehicles through Scilab simulations. It draws attention to the mathematics associated with the elementary phases for the power electronic circuits. This paper describes the working, mathematics and simulation of buck and boost converters used in an electric vehicle. We analyze the different circuitry systems, build the block diagrams in Xcos, Scilab and illustrate the outputs in terms of graphical representations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
