This paper presents the principles of state-space average modeling of DC-DC Boost converters operating in the Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) which occurs in converters due to low load current operation. The switching ripples in inductor current or capacitor voltage cause polarity reversal of the applied switch current or voltage and thus a zero current mode is reached. Modern converters ar...

This thesis presents High frequency Soft Switching DC-DC boost Converter. The circuit consists of a general Boost Converter with an additional resonant circuit which has a switch, inductor, capacitor and a diode.In general Boost Converter circuits have snubber circuits where switching losses are dissipated in external passive resistors; which is known as hard switching. As the switching frequen...

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...

In this paper a novel four-leg interleaved DC-DC boost converter is proposed which is well suitable for fuel cell vehicles (FCV) application. The voltage stress of two switches of this converter is half of the conventional interleaved converters. Therefore, smaller and cheaper switches can be utilized. Also "on" state duration of the two of four switches are reduced in comparison with...

In our paper, a method of using hybrid converter has been implemented. In the existing system, two stage approaches has been used. This two stage approach is both dc –dc converter and dc – ac Converter. This type of converters mentioned above has been used in the earlier stages, but the drawbacks that can be seen is increased cost and complexity. The proposed method mainly uses boost derived hy...

in recent year's renewable energy sources have become a useful alternative for the power generation. the power of photovoltaic is nonlinear function of its voltage and current. it is necessary to maintain the operation point of photovoltaic in order to get the maximum power point (mpp) in various solar intensity. fuzzy logic controller has advantage in handling non-linear system. maximum power ...

In this paper, a non isolated multi-input multi-output dc–dc boost converter is proposed. This converter is used to implant alternative energy sources in electric vehicles. However, advantages of different sources of energy are achievable by the implant energy sources. This converter has many outputs with different voltage levels, which can be interfaced with multilevel inverters. In this conve...

The paper introduces soft switching of a Boost Converter which can be included in the Electrical Vehicle technology. In order to raise the motor power rating, the DC link Vehicles, there is a great need for less component stress, smaller voltage of inverter up to 400V, and higher efficiency. The conventional Boost Converter generates switching loss at turn on and off thus the whole system's eff...

In this study, a new boost converter with an active snubber cell is proposed. The active snubber cell provides main switch to turn on with zero voltage transition (ZVT) and to turn off with zero current transition (ZCT). The proposed converter incorporating this snubber cell can operate with soft switching at high frequencies. Also, in this converter all semiconductor devices operate with soft ...
