Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are bioreactors that convert chemical energy in organic compounds to electrical energy through the metabolism of microorganisms. Organic matters are widely available in the environment that contains a huge amount of energy. This energy could be harvested, converted, by the technology of MFCs, to be used in certain applications. Energy production of a MFC is limited i...

Flyback converter belongs to a category of converters with isolation. This paper presents simplest approach simulate single phase AC-DC Converter and without filter. The use LC filter reduces the input frequency harmonics Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is analyzed. used step up voltage by varying duty cycle. preferred because simpler design lesser number components control strategy. deals clos...

The presented high-voltage DC source was designed to enable laboratory measurements of reverse and forward characteristics in non-conducting state of power semiconductor components. It also enables to measure the minimum triggering current or control voltage in dependence of the voltage on main electrodes for SCR, triac or voltage-controlled semiconductor devices such as MOSFET and IGBT, respec...

Abstract— This paper proposes a new high step-up DC-DC converter designed especially for regulating the DC interface between various microsources and a DC-AC inverter to electricity grid. The figuration of proposed converter is a quadratic boost converter with the coupled inductor in the second boost converter. The converter achieves high step-up voltage gain with appropriate duty ratio and low...

The previous lossless snubber for flyback converters, although with a small number of components, simple control and high power conversion efficiency, has no consideration electromagnetic interference (EMI). This paper proposes converter novel drain voltage rising slew rate the main switch converter. Compared to traditional topologies, proposed topology two advantages: first, only an additional...
