NINE SWITCH CONVERTER BASED SOLAR HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Abstract

Hybrid electric vehicle system with nine switch converters using permanent magnet synchronous machine as a motor and as a generator has been discussed in many papers. A series hybrid electric vehicle system with three phase induction motor connected as load to the Nine switch converter powered by a spark ignited internal combustion engine, along with solar panel to charge the battery based on its state of charge has been analyzed in this paper. Nine switch converter technique reduce voltage stress, power loss, number of switches required and the cost of the system.
