In this paper, the dynamics of a DC-DC boost power converter under variable structure control is studied applying bifurcation analysis techniques. The switching hyperplane coefficients are considered as bifurcation parameters. The dynamic phenomena detected in this work suggest new types of sliding bifurcations. This analysis is relevant in the context of sliding mode control with auxiliary ada...

In this paper, sliding mode control (SMC) for a bidirectional buck/boost DC-DC converter (BDC) with constant frequency in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is discussed. Since the converter is a high-order converter, the reduced-order sliding manifold is exploited. Because of right-half-plan zero (RHPZ) in the converter’s duty ratio to output voltage transfer function, sliding mode current...

37 Abstract— This paper presents a comparison of half bridge and full bridge isolated, soft-switched, DC-DC converters for Electrolysis application. An electrolyser is a part of renewable energy system which generates hydrogen from water electrolysis that used in fuel cells. A DC-DC converter is required to couple electrolyser to system DC bus. The proposed DC-DC converter is realized in both f...

The Object of this paper is to design and analyze a Hysteresis modulation based sliding mode control (HMSMC) for positive output elementary super lift Luo converter (POESLLC), which is the start-of-the-art DC-DC converter. The positive output elementary super lift Luo converter performs the voltage conversion from positive source voltage to positive load voltage. This paper proposes a HMSMC cap...

As the deployment of distributed generation continues, an increasing number of DC/AC power inverters will be interfaced into the electric grid. Groupings of these power inverters, along with distributed storage and load, are referred to as microgrids. Microgrids offer the potential for unprecedented reliability and flexibility, but also pose new control challenges. Inverters in microgrids must ...

The converter ...

The growing attention for plug-in electric vehicles, and the associated high-performance demands, have initiated a development trend towards highly efficient and compact on-board battery chargers. These isolated ac–dc converters are most commonly realized using two conversion stages, combining a non-isolated power factor correction (PFC) rectifier with an isolated dc–dc converter. This, however...

This paper provides design and implementation of a DC-DC boost converter control system by using gain scheduling PI-controller to achieve stable regulated output voltage with improved dynamic performance.

An impedance-source (or impedance-fed) power converter (abbreviated as Z-source) and its control method for implementing dc-to-ac, ac-to-dc, ac-to-ac, and dc-to-dc power conversion are presented in this paper. This impedance converter employs a unique impedance network (or circuit) to couple the converter main circuit to the power source, hence provides a unique feature that cannot be obtained ...
