INTRODUCTION

To minimize the carbon emissions in the environment and uplift green energy electric vehicles (EV) and plug in
hybrid vehicles (PHEV) have attained a lot of interest and attention world wide.Battery as a source of power
provides an efficient and smooth drive compared with internal combustion engines. Efficient on board/off-board
charging of these battery packs is the most crucial and challenging [1] .For the fast charging infrastructure, most of
the electric vehicles are equipped with an on board battery charger allowing them to charge from ubiquitous utility
socket. Multi-Source Electrical Energy with Buck-Boost Converters used for Electrical Vehicles Battery Charging
at various voltage levels. During the day time the vehicles battery energy charged by Solar Energy System and in
night time or cloudy weather conditions the vehicles battery energy charged by main Source [2]. These chargers
when connected to grid should adhere harmonic regulations and standards, such as IEC 61000-3-2 and IEEE 519
for high power quality [3].The two-stage converter for EV battery charging consists of AC/DC converter followed
with an isolated DC/DC converter. The most frequently used converter in all applications is with boost topology,
which maintains the high power quality for a universal input voltage of 85-265 V. At high power levels, it requires a
bulky inductor and output capacitor for operation with universal input voltages and provides efficient operation only
when the required DC output voltage is greater than peak of the input voltage [4]. Moreover, various control
methods embodied using PI, PR, nonlinear controllers in on-board battery chargers have been studied [5]–[7].
It is an efficient solution to provide a required voltage of DC output voltage for a universal input voltage
applied to the converter. The conventional single- switch topologies with buck-boost configurations like conven-
tional buck-boost, single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC), flyback and Cuk converters can fulfill the
operation [8]–[9] but have high component sizes and stress on devices compared with boost PFC converters[10]–
[14]. This conventional buck-boost and Cuk converters have inverting output voltages and provide zero direct
energy transfer from the input source to load. The minimum direct energy transfer will increase the size of
components for energy storage, which increases the stress on the devices. The ability of direct energy transfer path
leads to lower component stress, high efficiency of the converter and reduces the role of storage elements for a
given voltage conversion ratio [15]. The single switch buck-boost topologies are therefore unsuitable for high
voltage applications. To reduce the issues on stress, component size independent controlled two-switch buck-boost
 converter topologies have been proposed in literature [16]–[18]. These converters have a non-inverting output
voltage and can operate in buck as well as boost converter based on the input voltage applied and the desired output
voltage. The challenge in these converters is to provide a smooth transition in the change of mode. The
researchers have investigated many ways of smooth transition implementation by providing an additional mode
between buck and boost, providing a pseudo-continuous conduction mode state and adding a compensated duty
ratio
