Abstract Energy harvesting technology is currently a research hotspot, which can effectively solve energy supply problems in fields such as wireless sensor networks, wearable devices, and smart homes. An system using thermoelectric generator (TEG) for assistance of piezoelectric transducer (PZT) proposed. It employs synchronous charge extraction circuit based on buck structure (BUCK-SECE), uses...

Sliding mode (SM) and Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller are implemented for Buck converter in a continuous conduction mode. A closed-loop controller system is implemented and goes through the transient time response of buck converter. Sliding mode controller is worked as robust controller and can be used to reduce the Delay time and settling time of the system. In power drives c...

An Integrated double buck boost converter is analyzed and the design methodology is made as a high power factor of the power supply for the power LED lamps. The IDBB converter features just one controlled switch and two inductors and is able to supply a solid-state lamp from the mains, providing high power factor. Here with a careful design of the converter, the filter capacitances can be made ...

The duality principle is applied to derive new single-stage power-factor-correction (PFC) voltage regulators. This paper begins with an application of duality transformation to conventional discontinuousconduction-mode buck, buck-boost and boost converters. The resulting dual converters operate in the discontinuous capacitor voltage mode. These new converters provide the same PFC property, but ...

In this paper we have successfully demonstrated a z-propagating Zn-indiffused lithium niobate electro-optic modulator used for optical heterodyne interferometry. Compared to a commercial buck-type electro-optic modulator, the proposed waveguide-type modulator has a lower driving voltage and smaller phase variation while measuring visible wavelengths of 532 nm and 632.8 nm. We also demonstrate a...

This paper presents an influence issue improved by victimisation buck-boost convertor for BLDC motor drive as a value effective answer for low power applications. AN approach of speed management of BLDC motor by dominant the DC link voltage of VSI (Voltage supply Inverter) is employed. This facilitates the operation of VSI at fundamental change by victimisation the electronic commutation of BLD...

This project is a highly efficient and novel control strategy for improving the transients in the output voltage of a dc–dc positive buck–boost converter which is required for low-power portable electronic applications. The proposed control technique can regulate the output voltage for variable input voltage (higher, lower, or equal to the output voltage). There are several existing solutions t...

This letter presents a novel topology for a buck dc– dc converter with soft-switching capability, which operates under a zero-current-switching condition at turn on and a zero-voltage switching condition at turn off. In order to realize soft switching, based on a basic buck converter, the proposed converter added a small inductor, a diode, and an inductor coupled with the main inductor. Because...

In this paper a complete state-space average model for the buck switching regulators is presented. The presented model includes the most of the regulator’s parameters and uncertainties. In modeling, the load current is assumed to be unknown, and it is assumed that the inductor, capacitor, diode and regulator active switch are non ideal and they have a resistance in conduction condition. Some ot...

The neotropical genus Potamium as described by Mitten (1869) included species that had little more in common than a growth form adapted to a semi-aquatic habitat. Brotherus divided the genus in section Eu-Potamium and section Potamiopsis, based on peristome characters. This study shows that all species of section Eu-Potamium belong to Sematophyllum, including P. lonchophyllum which was designat...
