As a result of advances in solid-state power electronics, DC power distribution has found a widespread usage due to its advantages. DC/DC converters, which are mainly used for voltage regulation, are fundamental components of DC power distribution systems. This paper presents a peak power controlled DC/DC converter design based on two-layer hierarchical closed loop control strategy for active D...

The CMS experiment foresees upgrades of its silicon pixel and strip detectors for the luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), CERN. Due to an increase in the number of readout channels and higher complexity, larger currents will have to be provided to the detector. Since cable channels are difficult to access and space for cables is limited, this would lead to excessively large r...

Abstract -This paper presents an optimum design for low-voltage, low-power DC-DC converter which has a controller and integrated CMOS switches using small size inductor (luH). Optimum design for single chip DC/DC converter is achieved by analyzing the amount of conduction and switching losses. Through the loss analyses, it is turned out that a constant frequency hard switching PWM converter wit...

The present work describes the analysis, modeling and control of an interleaved Boost converters and Buck power inverter used as a DC-DC and DC-AC power conditioning stage for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems. To maximize the steady-state input-output energy transfer ratio a backstepping controller is designed to assure output unity power factor and a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)...

This paper deals with a comprehensive survey on the topic of AC/DC & DC/DC converters for DC Motor Drives. A substantial number of different AC/DC and DC/DC topologies appropriate for DC motor drives are presented. This critical literature review brings out merits, demerits, and limitations besides giving the basic operating principles of various topologies. Keywords—controlled-rectifiers, chop...
