This paper presents the implementation of a bidirectional dc-dc converter to protect a battery from overcharging and undercharging. The proposed converter circuit provides low voltage stresses across the switches, higher step-up and step-down voltage gains and efficiency is also high when compared to conventional boost/buck converter. The proposed control circuit controls the charging and disch...

In this work a buck converter model for multidomain simulations is proposed and compared with a stateof-the-art buck converter model. In the proposed model no switching events are calculated. By avoiding the computation of the switching events in power electronic models the processing time of multi-domain simulations can be decreased significantly. The proposed model calculates any operation po...

A novel topology for a soft-switching buck dc– dc converter with a coupled inductor is proposed. The soft-switching buck converter has advantages over the traditional hardswitching converters. The most significant advantage is that it offers a lower switching loss. This converter operates under a zero-current switching condition at turn on and a zero-voltage switching condition at turn off. It ...

This paper presents a high step-down tranformerless single-stage single-switch ac/dc converter suitable for universal line applications (90–270 Vrms ). The topology integrates a buck-type power-factor correction (PFC) cell with a buck–boost dc/dc cell and part of the input power is coupled to the output directly after the first power processing. With this direct power transfer feature and shari...

This paper presents a small-scale prototype of a wind-photovoltaic hybrid system, having batteries as energy storage components. All devices are connected to a common dc-bus using appropriate power converters. The photovoltaic modules are connected through a dc-dc buck converter using Perturb and Observe Maximum Power Point Tracking control. The permanent magnet synchronous generator (wind gene...

The DC-DC Converter topologies have received increasing attention in recent years for Low power and high performance applications. The advantages DC-DC buck converters includes increased efficiency, reduced size, reduced EMI, faster transient response and improved reliability. The front end LCL-T in a buck converter is connected in sequence manner to improve the electrical performances and to r...

The connection between PEM fuel cells and common DC-DC converters is examined. The analysis is model-based and done for boost, buck and buck-boost converters. In a first step, the effect of the converter ripples upon the PEM fuel cell is shown. They introduce oscillations in the fuel cell. Their appearance is explained, discussed and possibilities for their suppression are given. After that, th...
