This paper presents the analysin ,design and implementation of a high voltage ratio topology of DC-DC converter. The DC-DC converter has high voltage ratio with reduced input current, output voltage and output current ripple, and also reduces the voltage and current rating of power electronics components and compared with conventional boost converter. The voltage stress on the switches are  red...

The experimental and theoretical results of a ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) isolated flyback DC-DC converter using multilayered coreless PCB step down 2:1 transformer are presented. The performance characteristics of the transformer are shown which are useful for the parameters extraction. The measured energy efficiency of the transformer is found to be more than 94% with the sinusoidal input vo...

Multicell converter are a very interesting alternative for medium and high power drives. This paper presents a new configuration of double flying capacitor (DFCM) converter. The main advantages of the proposed converter in comparison with FCM and stacked multicell converter are doubling the rms and the number of output voltage levels, improving the output voltage frequency spectrum, and cancell...

Reduced switching loss favours Pulse Skipping Modulation mode of switching dc-to-dc converters at light loads. Under certain conditions the converter operates in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Inductor current starts from zero in each switching cycle as the switching frequency is constant and not adequately high. A DC-to-DC buck converter is modelled and simulated in this paper under DCM....

A zero-voltage, zero-current switching (ZVZCS) PWM DC-DC power converter with secondary active rectifier tested as a dc current source for arc welding is described in this paper. The soft switching DC-DC converter consists of high frequency inverter, high frequency power transformer and controlled output rectifier with new secondary energy recovery turn-off snubber. Circulating current in the c...

This paper presents a 4th order CLCL resonant converter which is suitable for constant current power supply applications. This converter is designed with Immittance characteristic with two inductors and two capacitors in resonant network. A detailed analysis and design process of a 200w converter as a constant current supply have been provided and simulation results are verified with results of...

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...

Abstract: A stand-alone multi-microgrid (MMG) system can be formed by connecting multiple stand-alone microgrids (MGs). In the stand-alone MMG system where the frequencies of each MG system are different, a back-to-back (BTB) converter can be used for interconnecting the adjacent MG system. The frequency control performance of the MMG system can be improved by designing the suitable controller ...

This paper investigates a novel single stage AC–AC power conversion, as an alternative to multistage AC– DC–AC power conversion topology, for interfacing the wind energy conversion system (WECS) to a grid as a distributed load system. A comprehensive dynamic model of proposed AC–AC converter is developed to satisfy all the functions of the converter. A new time switching pattern and a control m...
