VICOVR
The need to create a more efficient form of transportation
while also considering the ecosystem has led to the development
and use of electric vehicles. The primary goal of the “Variable
Input Constant Output Voltage Regulator” (VICOVR) project is to
redesign the power electronics developed by a 2012-13 capstone
project group to significantly increase output current capacity.
A secondary goal will be to design a simple closed loop control
system capable of maintaining a constant output voltage over a
wide range of input voltages. Although not included in the goals
for this senior capstone project, the VICOVR is ultimately
intended to provide a controlled DC voltage to charge the
battery bank in an electric vehicle during regenerative braking.
