Buck Converter Design: Step-by-Step Guide and Best Practices | Chapter 18

This tutorial provides a comprehensive step-by-step guide to designing a buck converter for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Learn how to calculate and select key design parameters such as duty cycle, inductance, voltage ripple, and capacitance to achieve a stable output voltage for charging lower voltage batteries from higher voltage sources. The video covers formulas and practical MATLAB implementation to convert a 60V input to a 12V output while managing ripple and current safely. Equip yourself with the best practices for buck converter design and simulation in MATLAB to ensure efficient and reliable EV power electronics systems.

Key topics include:

Duty cycle calculation for desired output voltage

Inductor and capacitor sizing based on ripple requirements

Voltage ripple and current ripple analysis

MATLAB modeling and parameter assignment for buck converter

Practical considerations for EV battery charging
