Abstract

This paper investigates the performance of conventional boost converter, 2-phase interleaved boost converter and 3-phase interleaved boost converter for renewable energy applications especially for solar-powered energy. The advantages of using coupled inductors in interleaved boost converters include increased system efficiency, reduced core size, and also reduced overall current and voltage ripples which increases the lifetime of renewable energy resources. In this paper, the uses of boost converters have been focused explicitly on the interleaved DC-DC charging from a solar-powered battery into electric vehicle (EV) battery storage. Hence, this paper aims to investigate a suitable charging process mechanism from a photovoltaic (PV) battery storage system into EV powered battery system. Using the application of a boost converter with reduced ripple current and ripple voltage decreases switching losses and increases conversion efficiency. The simulation is carried out by using Simulink/MATLAB to evaluate the performance of each boost converter. The results successfully demonstrate the ability of the proposed charging system with an energy efficiency of 90%.

Abstract

Buck converters are widely employed in power electronics for efficient DC voltage regulation, particularly in applications such as motor drives and embedded systems. However, conventional control methods, such as PID, often exhibit limitations including significant voltage ripple, overshoot, and sluggish dynamic response under varying load conditions. This study introduces a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) integrated into a buck converter system to address these challenges through adaptive and nonlinear control. The research contribution is the design and simulation of an FLC-based voltage regulation strategy that enhances output stability and improves transient performance in DC motor applications. The proposed buck converter operates in continuous conduction mode and consists of an IGBT switch, inductor, diode, and filter capacitor. The FLC employs voltage deviation and its rate of change as input variables and utilizes a 25-rule Mamdani fuzzy inference system to modulate the duty cycle in real time. Simulated in MATLAB Simulink with a dynamic DC motor load, the FLC demonstrates superior control characteristics over the PID controller. Most notably, voltage ripple is reduced by over 65%, leading to improved voltage stability and reduced fluctuations. The FLC also exhibits faster settling behavior and better handling of dynamic load variations, confirming its effectiveness in nonlinear and time-varying systems. Future work will focus on hardware validation, hybrid control integration, and deployment in renewable energy and electric vehicle systems to improve adaptability and real-world performance.
