General Objective: Develop power control and optimization algorithms in terms of efficiency in multiport DC-DC converters of up to 3kW applied in the integration of small-scale distributed generation and electric vehicles in the residential electrical sector.
Specific objectives:
- Determine the power electronics architectures for the design of high-efficiency multiport DC-DC converters aimed at the integration of distributed electrical generation sources and electric vehicles.
- Develop local control algorithms for the current and voltage loops of the ports of the multiport DC-DC converter modeled and simulated on a computer.
- Propose and simulate supervisory control algorithms for optimal energy management in the multiport DC-DC converter.
- Implement the prototype of a multiport DC-DC converter up to 3kW.
- Validate the performance of the algorithms and converter developed in terms of efficiency, regulation and energy management through laboratory tests on the prototype.
