This paper shows the design and control methods of the bidirectional DC-DC converter to generate the proper DC-link voltage of a PMSM drive. Conventionally, because the controllable power of the PWM based voltage source inverter is limited by its DC-link voltage, the DC-DC converter is used for boosted DC-link voltage if the inverter source cannot generate enough operating voltage for the PMSM ...

This paper proposes an inductive coupled wireless power transfer (WPT) system with class-E2 dc-dc converter along with its design procedure. The proposed WPT system can achieve high power-conversion efficiency at high frequencies because it satisfies the class-E zero-voltage switching and zero-derivative-voltage switching conditions on both the inverter and the rectifier. By using the class-E i...

This paper presents the analysis of a new multi-oscillated current resonant type DC-DC converter. Current resonant converters have several remarkable features such as high efficiency, small size, low cost and low noise, and are frequently employed in many portable electronic systems such as personal computers, cellular phones and flat panel displays. The current resonant type converter generall...

The energy efficiency of battery-operated portable applications can be improved by increasing the efficiency of power amplifiers (PAs). By dynamically changing the supply voltage from the fixed battery supply using a DC-DC converter, the PA can be operated with high efficiency during power back-off. This paper presents the system level requirements for a buck converter and other blocks in a dyn...

In this paper, a maximum power point tracker method using sliding mode control for a photovoltaic (PV) system is presented. The system includes a photovoltaic array, a DC/DC converter and a DC/AC inverter connected to a load. The designed control regulates the converter output voltage and it maximizes the power generated by the photovoltaic array. To obtain it, the sliding surface used to contr...
