Soft-switching design for DC-DC Converters

Abstract

In this document is presented a reality that each day is taking more and more strength in the in the environmental safety and as a result a exponential growing in the market. When people talk about cars and mobility, they’re talking about a tool and a necessity, thus something that everyone in the population will always look. But, there has been a series of problems in the environmental balance with the existence of cars, years passed and with them, the constant contamination, and it is produced not only by cars, but this is one of the machines most used in the world, and has a cycle of energy consumption that isn’t any friendly with a healthy planet. The resources for the car functioning, are mostly given from the earth, the production of gas and gasoline to impulse our cars, airplanes, bikes and an enormous number of machines, is a process that cost us health and quality of life. It generates more exposure of damaging gases to the atmosphere, contamination of the air we breathe and many other problematics. Looking to help with a recovery, the existence of Electric Vehicles (EV) is one step that could offer people the option to continue with their lives normally, having less impact to contaminating the environment, according to the EPA, a regular gasoline car produces 8,887 grams of CO2 per gallon, and a diesel one produces 10,180 grams of CO2 per gallon, in comparison to EV’s that don’t produce this tailpipe emissions, or Fuel cell which only produce water vapor. However, the production, the fabrication and the consumption of energy for the EV’s, is kind of delayed in comparison with the years of development that the combustion car machines have had, in a lifetime an internal combustion car will burn around 17, 000 liters of petrol or 13, 500 of diesel, on the other hand for EV’s the waste in metals will be around 160 kilograms, but by recycling the waste will reduce to around 30 kilograms. For that, we present an analysis of little steps and adjusts in the conversion of energy, trying to improve the efficiency, the life cycle of components and at the end, the benefits it could bring to us as a population.
