Modelling and control of a non-isolated half-bridge bidirectional DC-DC converter with an energy management topology applicable with EV/HEV

Abstract

Energy management strategy is gaining much popularity due to the involvement of conventional/non-conventional power sources with an efficient energy storing solution to offer un-interruptible power demand. Thus, in this work a simpler logic control circuit based nonisolated bi-directional DC-DC converter with both battery and super capacitor topology is proposed. For the proposed topology, first its mathematical modelling in ideal-case with parasitic in every mode of actions is presented. To control the bidirectional DC-DC converter topology, its small signal model for individual buck and boost operation is obtained by using averaging and linearization technique. Then, a unified logic circuit-based controller is designed for the obtained systems to analyze the performance of the converter in the buck and boost mode operation. The performance of the proposed topology is verified through MATLAB/Simulink environment.
