In recent years, there has been a shift of interest towards electric and hybrid vehicles, which are considered viable alternatives to gasoline-powered vehicles. Despite the fact that their advantages are multiple, charging time, high cost and energy density are the main disadvantages that slow-down their immediate spread. Alongside the developments regarding electric and hybrid vehicles, innovative topologies of multi-port power converters have been designed targeting the reduction of the cost and complexity of controlling conventional converters applied in corresponding renewable energy applications.In this thesis, a fuel cell electric vehicle is modeled using a multiport power electronic converter, in the environment of Simulink/Matlab. The control of the power converter's operation and the energy sources is implemented through an energy management system that ensures the smooth operation of the vehicle.The operation of the electric vehicle was examined for alternative driving cycles. Based on the results, it can be deduced that the use of the multi-port converter ensures a constant output voltage and the smooth switching of power flow between its ports.
