A basic structure for MPPT was elaborated applying incremental conductance algorithm acting phase angle of sinusoidal PWM reference. The control strategy simulated MATLAB/Simulink software 6.3 kWp photovoltaic panel and results have validate converter proposition with harmonic curren...

This article presents a novel control method for multilevel dc–dc flying capacitor converter applications in medium voltage range. Quasi-two-level modulation provides the possibility to obtain low capacitance even below 1 μF, whereas triangular current mode controller part enables achieve zero switching at turn- <sc xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1...

The series capacitor buck converter is a dc-dc converter topology that uniquely merges a switched capacitor circuit and a multiphase buck converter. Many of the challenges faced by conventional buck converters are overcome by this converter topology. This enables efficient, high frequency operation and significantly smaller solution size. The series capacitor buck converter has beneficial chara...
