In this
paper, we study methodologies to improve the efficiency of MPPT solar boost
converter (48V-10A) of the hybrid onboard charger (HOBC) for sustainable energy
(SE) of 3-wheel Solar E-Rickshaw (3-WSE-Rickshaw) and electric vehicles (EVs).
Based on our application for the mini-electric vehicles (MEVs) or low-speed
electric vehicles (LSEVs) and e-rickshaw with the storage batteries voltage of
only 48V. The auxiliary PV solar array lower than 500W-40Vis recommended for
use in this study. In this case, the voltage of solar PV is lower than the
battery voltage. This means the PV cannot charge to the battery system
directly. A boost voltage circuit charger higher than 48V is needed including a
maximum power point tracking algorithm. To achieve the fast-charging option we
provide three main methods of DC-DC boost topology, MPPT P&O control
algorithms, and constant current-constant voltage (CC-CV) controller. Also
included is a charging data read-record graphic of the MPPT charging stage,
constant voltage charging stage, and float charging stage
(MPPT-CV-Float-Charging Stage). The data is used to express and analyze on
battery charger’s characteristics. Moreover, the magnetic circuit is a very
important key design technique for storing and transferring energy in a power
converter. A good design of magnetic inductor gives a better result in low
power losses of magnetic coreloss (MCL), winding copper loss (WCL), and stable
energy conversion.
