Modeling and Control of a Cascaded Boost Converter for a Battery Electric Vehicle A. Ndtoungou, Ab. Hamadi, A. Missanda and K. Al-Haddad, Fellow member, IEEE EPEC 2012 OCTOBER 10-12 contents Introduction Introduction
Characteristics of boost converter and cascade boost converter The boost converter provides high currents, while the cascade boost converter achieves high voltage. The advantage of the high voltage of the cascade boost converter make it very suitable for high battery voltage charging current.

The dynamics of the output voltage is given by The control law is The right term of this equation which is linear uses PI controller to regulate the voltage v0 and we extract the control law from this equation

The both system gives the same performance to charge the battery The slight difference is observed in the boost converter that the current flowing in the inductance presents the high ripple current compared of the cascade boost converter

Grid current and grid voltage are in phase The THD of the grid current is less than 5% During the output reference voltage variation we see that the output voltage well regulated , that the grid voltage and the grid current are in phase and sinusoidal
