This chapter presents an overview of the power electronics circuits for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) applications with a focus on special circuit topologies, analysis, and thermal management. It discusses uncontrolled passive rectifiers and their unique aspects in HEV applications. The typical application of a buck converter in an HEV is to step down the hybrid battery voltage to charge the auxiliary battery. Voltage source inverters (VSIs) are used in hybrid vehicles to control the electric motors and generators. The current source inverter (CSI) operates using the same principle as in a VSI, with the input as a current source. The battery charging system is a critical part of EVs and Plug‐in HEVs (PHEVs). Modeling and simulation play an important role in the design and development of power electronics circuits. The simulation of power electronics circuits in hybrid vehicle applications can be divided into two categories: device‐level and system‐level.
