No doubt that, power electronics play an important role in the modern industry and power system networks. This paper presents the performance analysis of a multi-source, single-output, buck-boost dc-ac converter suitable for use in different applications such as feeding ac loads from photovoltaic systems. In this paper, the performance of the proposed converter is studied, through power simulat...

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 synchronous buck circuit is in widespread use to provide “point of use” high current, low voltage power for CPU’s, chipsets, peripherals etc. In the synchronous buck converter, the power stage has a “high-side” (Q1 below) MOSFET to charge the inductor, and a “Low-side” MOSFET which replaces a conventional buck regulator’s “catch diode” to provide a low-loss recirculation path for the induct...

This paper describes the implementation of fuzzy control algorithm (state controller with adjustable gains by fuzzy sets) in DC-DC Buck converter. All tasks are implemented by FPGA. Fuzzy sets are tuned by genetic algorithm of-line by using Fuzzy-logic and genetic toolbox in MATLAB. Fuzzyfication and defuzzyfication algorithms are implemented in real time in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)...

The connection between PEM fuel cells and common DC-DC converters is examined. The analysis is model-based and done for boost, buck and buck-boost converters. In a first step, the effect of the converter ripples upon the PEM fuel cell is shown. They introduce oscillations in the fuel cell. Their appearance is explained, discussed and possibilities for their suppression are given. After that, th...

Nonlinear phenomena in closed-loop pulsewidth modulation (PWM) dc/dc converters have been reported recently. In this paper, we investigate experimentally these phenomena in a voltage-mode controlled buck converter operating in continuous-conduction mode. In particular, the complex behavior of a voltage feedback buck converter is studied for wide variation of input voltage and different load res...

We propose to use a slope adjustable generator (TWG) which provides a line feed and an additional duty cycle modulatio comparing with the conventional VMC, the p significantly improves the line and load tran This triangular wave slope regulation sc compared to digital feed-forward control sch non-linear ca...

This paper proposes a method to reduce the supply voltage IR drop of 3D stacked-die systems by implementing an on-chip Buck Converter on Top die (BCT) scheme. The IR drop is caused by the parasitic resistance of Through Silicon Vias (TSV’s) used in the 3D integration. The IR drop reduction and the overhead associated with the BCT scheme are modeled and analyzed. A 3D stacked-die system is manuf...

The main objective of this paper is to compare the performance between fuzzy controller and proportional integral controller in improving the performance of the DC-DC Buck Converter. The evaluation of the output has been carried out and compared by software simulation using MATLAB. This paper also evaluates the stability of the system with fuzzy controller and PI controller and concludes that t...
