In this paper an efficient high step-up converter with a coupled- inductor with soft- switching operation is presented. The proposed topology includes a coupled-inductor boost converter for raising the voltage gain. Moreover, a simple auxiliary resonant circuit composed of an auxiliary switch, a clamping diode and a resonant tank (inductor, capacitor), is adopted in this paper. The coupled-indu...

This paper proposes a new converter topology that interfaces four ports: two sources, one bi-directional storage port and one isolated load port. In order to improve the efficiency of energy conversion, a sot switching boost converter using a simple auxiliary resonant circuit(SARC) which is composed of an auxiliary switch, a diode, a resonant inductor and a resonant capacitor is adopted. The co...

This study deals with the design of distributed power systems and optimal capacitor placement based on the ANFIS (Adaptive Network Fuzzy Inference Systems) using Mamdani-type fuzzy inference model. Traditionally, this problem of optimal capacitor placement has been solved through various optimization techniques, but it is less accuracy of finding placement and more time consuming. This can be a...

In the application of rail transit vehicles, when using typical wireless power transfer (WPT) systems with series–series (SS) compensation supply power for supercapacitors, the output current is in an approximately inverse relationship with the duty cycle in a wide range. This renders the typical buck circuit control inappropriate. In order to help resolve the above issues, this paper designs i...

Introduction: Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging and spectroscopy of implanted bio-artificial tissue constructs can be improved by placing a NMR receiver coil around the implanted construct and receive the NMR signal response through inductive coupling with the external surface coil [1]. The limitation of this approach is that the implanted coil cannot be di...

A soft-switching buck converter is proposed for battery charging application. This converter can also be used with other low voltage miniature applications. Resonant inductor and capacitor helps to turn on-off the switch at zero current. This reduces switching losses in our conventional converter. In order to determine two (current) zero-cross points for switch-on and switch-off, the quasi-reso...
