FPGA Implementation of Bidirectional Converter for Hybrid Electric Vehicle

For achieving reduced pollution condition, the vehicle can be powered only by batteries or other electrical energy sources. Batteries have widely been adopted because of high energy density, compact size, and reliability. This can be applied in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEVs) with a battery as an energy storage element to provide desired management of the power flows. In hybrid electric vehicles, energy storage devices act as catalysts to provide energy boost. Bidirectional dc/dc converters are the key components of the traction systems in Hybrid Electric Vehicles. The use of a Bidirectional dc/dc converter fed motor drive in electric vehicle application are suitable control of both motoring and regenerative braking operations, and it can contribute to a significant increase in the drive system overall efficiency. The bidirectional converter pulses are generated using system generator and executed in FPGA.
