Abstract: Design and modelling of a hybrid electric vehicle using two different energy sources (fuel cell and PV) are presented in this paper. In this proposed model, a High Gain Interleaved Boost Converter (HGIBC) is used to extract the maximum power from the PV array and fuel cell. To optimise the maximum power, a single MPPT system has been applied to both the fuel cell stack and solar panel. A Brushless DC Motor (BLDC) is used in this work to evaluate the performance of the electric vehicle. A BLDC motor has been designed to coerce the hybrid electric vehicle using a three phase inverter. The performance characteristics of the system have been analysed in terms of rise time, peak overshoot and efficiency. Finally, the simulation results are verified through MATLAB/Simulink.
