| Abstract | This paper will discuss the modelling, analysis and simulation of a 42V/14V dc/dc converter based architecture. This architecture is considered to be technically a viable solution for automotive dual-voltage power system for passenger car in the near further. An interleaved dc/dc converter system is chosen for the automotive converter topology due to its advantages regarding filter reduction, dynamic response, and power management. In the paper a one kilowatt interleaved six-phase buck converter model designed to operate in a Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) will be developed. The control strategy of the converter is based on a voltage-mode-controlled Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) with a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID). The effectiveness of the interleaved step-down converter is verified through simulation results using control-oriented simulator, MatLab/Simulink. |
