To fulfill the challenging demands of the growing grid, new concepts of the inverters are needed. In this project a reduced switch modular inverter design is detailed. A reduced switch modular inverter design is presented for a modern power system which inputs power from both AC and DC Renewable Sources. The modular inverter is the combination of both three phase inverter and three phase invert...

To overcome the conduction and switching losses generated by earlier converter designs, we propose a new genetic algorithm based Cuk converter design which increases the performance of photovoltaic system. The objective is to produce high-efficiency, voltage and current of a PV system with help of GA Controller. The requirement of continuous and controlled flow of voltage has met with the suppo...

This paper first presents open loop behavior of buck boost and cuk dc-dc converter operated under Continuous conduction mode (CCM). This is achieved withthe help of state equations and MATLAB/SIMULINK tool for simulation of those state equations. Using the knowledge of open loop converter behavior, a closed loop converter is designed. DC-DC converter will be designed for specific line and load ...

Permanent magnet brushless DC motor (PMBLDCM) drives are being employed in many variable speed applications due to their high efficiency, silent operation, compact size, high reliability, ease of control, and low maintenance requirements. These drives have power quality problems and poor power factor at input AC mains as they are mostly fed through diode bridge rectifier based voltage source in...

1 This work is supported by Philips Research, Briarcliff Manor, NY, through Colorado Power Electronics Center Abstract – In converters for power-factor-correction (PFC), universal-input capability (ability to operate from any AC line voltage, world-wide) comes with a heavy price in terms of component stresses and losses, size of components, and restrictions on the output DC voltage. A new two-s...

Due to the decade of fossil fuels at present renewable energy plays an important role in generating power to meet the load requirements. Power produced from the renewable energy is very low. So chopper circuit is required to boost the voltage level of renewable energy sources. Chopper is a circuit in which fixed DC voltage is converted into variable voltage. There are many types of chopper circ...
