This paper presents the development of a DC-DC boost converter. In the proposed boost converter design, a passive regenerative snubber circuit is included to absorb the energy of stray inductance so as to reduce the IGBT switching losses. MATLAB simulation as well as an experiment results are conducted to validate the proposed device. The results show that the proposed boost converter design gi...

The multi-input dc/dc boost converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter uses two sources such as wind, photovoltaic(PV) and battery as a storage element for hybridizing alternative energy sources. This converter draws the power from two different sources depending upon climatic condition and deliver it to the dc load individually or simultaneously. The system is applicable for D...

This paper presents an optimal controller in order to achieve trajectory tracking for nonlinear systems and minimization of a quadratic cost functional. The synthesized optimal control law comes from solving the Hamilton-JacobiBellman equation for state-dependent coefficient factorized nonlinear systems. The proposed control scheme is applied for the Boost power converter. Power converters are ...

The inherent nature of normal boost converter has more voltage stress across the power electronics switch and ripple. The presented formation of the front end rectifier stage for a photovoltaic (PV) organization is mainly used to give the supply. Further increasing of the solar efficiency is achieved by connecting the zero voltage soft switching boost converter. The zero voltage boost converter...

Two essential technologies for a 3D Solid State Drive (3DSSD) with a boost converter are presented in this paper. The first topic is the spiral inductor design which determines the performance of the boost converter, and the second is the effect of TSV’s on the boost converter. These techniques are very important in achieving a 3D-SSD with a boost converter. In the design of the inductor, the o...

A Double input DC to DC converter for low voltage energy sources applications is proposed in this paper.

The converter is able to boost up voltage of energy sources such as solar photovoltaic and wind energy system of relatively low voltage. The conve...

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce an approach to design a DC-DC boost converter with constant output voltage for grid connected photovoltaic application system. The boost converter is designed to step up a fluctuating solar panel voltage to a higher constant DC voltage. It uses voltage feedback to keep the output voltage constant. To do so, a microcontroller is used as the heart of...
