A single-phase ac-to-dc converter using threephase modified series-parallel resonant converter is proposed in this paper. The three-phase resonant converter is analyzed using Fourier series approach. The design curves for a resonant converter of 2.5 kW rating are plotted. The converter components are selected based on the design curves. The converter is simulated for different load conditions u...

1 This work is supported by Philips Research, Briarcliff Manor, NY, through Colorado Power Electronics Center Abstract – Single-switch step-up/step-down converters, such as the buck-boost, SEPIC and Cuk, have relatively high voltage and current stresses on components compared to the buck or the boost converter. A buck-boost converter with two independently controlled switches can work as a boos...

High step-up voltage gain nonisolated DC-DC converter have attracted much attention in photovoltaic, fuel cells and other renewable energy system applications. In this paper, by combining input current ripple-free boost cell with coupled-inductor voltage-doubler cell, an input current ripple-free high voltage gain nonisolated converter is proposed. In addition, passive lossless clamp circuit is...

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) used to tune the Proportional and Integral (PI) controller for Single Ended Primary Inductance Converter (SEPIC) is discussed in this paper. The SEPIC is based on DC to DC converter to maintain the constant output voltage but varying input voltage. PI controller maintains a constant output of the converter, without changing sign. MATLAB simulation designing is deve...

By using a quadratic compensation slope, a CMOS current-mode buck DC-DC converter with constant frequency characteristics over wide input and output voltage ranges has been developed. The use of a quadratic slope instead of a conventional linear slope makes both the damping factor in the transfer function and the frequency bandwidth of the current feedback loop independent of the converter’s ou...

A full-bridge CLLL DC/DC converter that uses an auxiliary circuit is proposed in this paper. The soft switching of lagging leg and auxiliary switches is achieved by the proposed circuit for providing reduced switching losses and high efficiency. The theoretical detail operation of the converter is presented. The proposed converter is verified using MATLAB simulation. Closed loop and open loop c...

Fuel-cell (FC) based electric vehicles (EVs) are promising to reduce the carbon footprint due transportation sector. FCs environmentally friendly systems that generate electricity from hydrogen and oxygen. Unfortunately, solely fail meet high power density requirements of EVs. Therefore, this paper presents a FC/battery/ultra-capacitor (UC) hybrid system (HPS) for vehicle applications. In work,...

Abstract: Harmonic pollution and low power factor in power systems caused by power converters have been of great concern. To overcome these problems several converter topologies using advanced semiconductor devices and control schemes have been proposed. In this paper a new three-level ac–dc single-stage converter that can operate with standard phase-shift pulse width modulation is proposed.The...

In this paper, a new step-up/step-down AC-AC converter is designed by switched capacitor (SC) techniques. The main features of the proposed SC AC-AC converter are the symmetrical converter topology and the absence of magnetic elements. Owing to the symmetrical converter topology, the number of capacitors in the proposed AC-AC converter is fewer than that in the conventional SC AC-AC converter. ...
