Title A name given to the resource Design and performance evaluation of a multi-load and multi-source DC-DC converter for efficient electric vehicle power systems Subject The topic of the resource DC-DC converter; Electric vehicle power systems; Energy-efficient electric vehicles; High-efficiency power conversion; Modular converter design; Multi-load power distribution; Multi-source energy management; Solar energy integration Description An account of the resource This paper introduces the design and comprehensive performance evaluation of a novel Multi-Load and Multi-Source DC-DC converter tailored for electric vehicle (EV) power systems. The proposed converter integrates a primary battery power source with a secondary renewable energy sourcespecifically, solar energyto enhance overall energy efficiency and reliability in EV applications. Unlike conventional multi-port converters that often suffer from cross-regulation issues and limited scalability, this converter ensures stable power distribution to various EV subsystems, including the motor, air conditioning unit, audio systems, and lighting. A key feature of the design is its ability to independently manage multiple power loads while maintaining isolated outputs, thus eliminating the inductor current imbalance that is common in traditional systems. Experimental validation using a 100W prototype demonstrated the converters ability to deliver stable 24V and 48V outputs from a 12V input, with output voltage deviations kept within 1%, significantly improving upon the 5% deviations typically seen in existing converters. Furthermore, the system achieved an impressive 93% efficiency under variable load conditions. The modular nature of the converter makes it not only suitable for EV applications but also for a broader range of industries, including renewable energy systems and industrial power supplies. This paper concludes by discussing optimization strategies for future improvements and potential scaling of the technology for commercial use in sustainable energy applications. The Author(s) 2024.
