The purpose of this paper is twofold. On one hand, basics on switched circuits for designing a DC-DC converter are presented and, on the other hand, power electronics definitions associated with simple electrical networks are mentioned. In the analysis of these networks, it is necessary to take into account not only converters’ non-idealities but also how to minimize power losses. Since power l...

The purpose of this project was the modeling, optimization and prediction of a hybrid system composed of a fuel cell, a dc-dc converter and a supercapacitor in series. Lab tests were performed for each device to understand their behavior, and then each one was modeled using software (Simulink). The validation of the model was done by comparing its results with measured data; finally the model w...

The last few years, a considerable number of studies have been made on a digital control. One reason is that this technique will lead to a future energy management and system integration. At a first step, it may be helpful to begin with a study of the design criterion of the digital control. Although studies have been made on the digital unique characteristics, there is little agreement on the ...

Stable inversion plays a key role in the solution of the exact tracking control problem in nonminimum phase systems. However, the general methods developed so far for the computation of stable inverses require backwards time numeric integration of the internal dynamics equation, which yields high sensitivity to external disturbances and/or structured uncertainties. This article introduces an it...

Single phase power factor correction ac-dc converters are widely used in industry for ac-dc power conversion from single phase ac mains to an required output dc voltage. In case of high power application these types of converter use an ac-dc boost converter followed by dc-dc converter. These converters has the features of excellent input power factor, continuous input and output currents, and i...

This paper presents a new method for theoretical stability analysis of a bidirectional dual full bridge DC-DC converter with triple phase-shift control. The developed approach is analytically sound and generally applicable when compared with the existing approaches, which are by and large based on computer simulation. The operating process of a bidirectional converter is multi-stage and nonline...

. The aim of this paper is to present an overcurrent limitation for the digital peak current mode dc-dc converter. The proposed method can detect the overcurrent in real time and it also maintains arbitrary current in the overcurrent limitation mode. It is expected to provide an effective function to protect the renewable energy system. The effectiveness of proposed method is confirmed from bot...

Switched circuits in power electronics by their nature present hybrid behavior. Such circuits can be described by a set of discrete states with associated continuous dynamics. A control objective, usually regulation of the output in the face of disturbances in the continuous system, is accomplished by choosing among discrete states. We describe a hybrid systems perspective of several common tas...

This paper proposes a stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system based on a DC-DC positive output super lift Luo (POSLL) converter. A conventional sliding mode control, a sliding mode controller using a simple sign function and a linear controller using proportional integrator (PI) are used for the control of the PV panel voltage and POSLL converter inductor current and these methods are compared tog...
