What do you mean by
literature in terms of Engineering???

3. Literature is defined as books
and other written works,
especially those considered to
have creative or artistic merit or
lasting value.[01]

• 2 sentences on the wider field context and
significance
• 2 sentences on the research method
• 2 sentences on the results and conclusionsThis paper deals with designing and sizing of a multiple-input power electronic converter (MIPEC) to be used
in an electric vehicle propulsion system that includes a fuel cell (FC) generator and a combined storage unit.
The combined storage unit is composed by an ultracapacitors tank (UC) and a battery unit (BU). MIPEC is
responsible for power-flow management on-board the vehicle for each mode of operation. Specifications for
MIPEC designing come out from many considerations concerning traction drive and reference driving cycle,
on-board power source and storage unit characteristics. However, to date sizing and configuration of both
storage units and on-board generators are directly related to traction drive and driving profile (i.e., vehicle
performances and characteristics) and no relation with power electronic interface is considered during
preliminary design. Then, power electronic interface is selected in order to fit traction drive requirements with
power source and storage unit characteristics; as a consequence converter mode of operation lacks of
optimization, as well dynamic behavior and efficiency cannot be maximized. In this paper, MIPEC design and
power source and storage unit selection are achieved at the same project stage according to traction drive
requirements. Experimental results on 60-kW power electronic interface are presented.

15. RESULTS & DISCUSSION
1/27/2016 Shankersinh Vaghela Bapu Institute of Technology 15
• Results may be in terms of numbers or performance but
mostly represented in graphical form
• Interpretation of result is the major task for any researcher
• “ If you have interpreted it rightly, then only you can explain
it better”
• The comparison with time response and output voltage regulation of Fig. 9
validates the proposed theoretical approach for designing the regulators for
both current loop and voltage loop; however, non idealities in cables,
connections, and components of the experimental set-up slightly change
current and voltage transients, therefore, the experimental testing shows a
more damped behavior of the system than the achieved simulations.
