In hard-switched converters, the switching frequency is limited by switching losses and EMI problems. However, high-switching frequency is necessary to reduce the converter size. Hence, soft switching is imperative at high switching frequency to obtain good efficiency. Push–pull converter is a preferred topology at medium power level. This paper proposes a novel resonant transition topology for...

In this paper, we attempt to present a comparison through rigorous studies (existing conventional models) following software based modeling and verifications through simulations in terms of various traffic parameters such as packet loss, Recovery Time (Latency), reordering of packets including recovery time for various widely used path recovery models for the purpose of end-to-end recovery of L...

Photovoltaic systems integrated to the grid have received considerable attention around the world. They can be connected to the electrical grid via galvanic isolation (transformer) or without it (transformerless). Despite making galvanic isolation, low frequency transformer increases size, cost and losses. On the other hand, transformerless PV systems increase the leakage current (common-mode c...

Switching devices are key components in any power electronic circuit or system as they control and limit the flow of power from the source to the load. Their power level requirements (current & voltage) and switching frequency are continually increasing in the power electronic industry, and this demands larger and faster switching devices. This paper will focus on the development of high power ...

This paper presents reconfigurable frequency and polarization FSS-based with photoconductive switches in a single dual-band operation for antenna applications at the terahertz band. The band FSS unit-cell element exhibits reconfigurability between 0.62 0.7 THz. It also converts LP waves into CP over ranging from 0.59 to 0.8 THz (30% 3-dB BW). (0.42 1.03 THz) when are turned ON (0.51 0.865 OFF. ...

In this paper, a comparative analysis on the bifurcative and chaotic behaviour of a current controlled buckboost converter with soft switching and hard switching is performed. The electromagnetic interference generated during hard switching and soft switching of the converter is analyzed. Simulation and measured results show that the total energy is more evenly spread over the frequency band du...

This article introduces a new method for nano-Henry inductance measurements at the frequency of 4.999 MHz with a single quartz crystal oscillating in the switching oscillating circuit. The real novelty of this method, however, lies in a considerable reduction of the temperature influence of AT-cut crystal frequency change in the temperature range between 0 °C and 50 °C through a switching metho...

In modern inverter fed drive applications the power semiconductors used are typically designed to operate at their maximum thermal operation conditions. Semiconductors worst case thermal considerations in general define the uppermost inverter switching frequency dependent on maximum load current. Fixing this frequency to a constant value, the drive will not be operated with best possible perfor...

Voltage source inverter (VSI) fed induction motors are widely used in variable speed applications. The harmonic distortion in the line currents of the inverter depends on the switching frequency and the pulse width modulation (PWM) technique employed to switch the inverter. The inverter switching loss is also strongly influenced by the PWM technique used. This paper compares the harmonic distor...
