Usage of electric vehicles has increased over the last decade due to awareness and development. Battery-operated Electric Vehicles were the primary choice due to their simple design, but alternate sources were also developed for EVs. Fuel cells are one of the sources used in electric vehicles due to their near-zero emissions, lowest pressure, and temperature. Many converter topologies and control algorithms were presented to transfer the energy from the PEM fuel cell used as a primary choice. This paper introduces a modified multi-input DC-DC converter with multiple input sources to connect a fuel cell and a battery simultaneously. This setup is used to drive brushless DC (BLDC) motor which can be suitable for electric vehicle applications. Using incremental conductance and Grey Wolf algorithm based maximum power point tracking approaches, the presented circuit is analysed, and the findings are presented. The simulation results demonstrate that the suggested topology provides a suitable response for both MPPT approaches.
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.
