Classic high-frequency transformers enable for isolated DC/DC converters to achieve high input voltage gain by the turns ratio. Through the use of an isolation transformer made in planar technology with interleaved windings leakage inductance can be significantly reduced and voltage overshoots can be marginalized. By applying balancing transformer with integrated input inductor in the setup of ...

A loosely contactless transformer with a large air gap has small magnetizing inductance and large leakage inductance comparing with a closely conventional transformer. This paper focus on analysis, design and measurement results of the loosely winding contactless transformer using resonant converter. Finally, the experimental set up is built to transfer power of 300 W over the different gap var...

D1 D2 S2 Abstract—This paper proposes two types of non-isolated direct AC-DC converters. First, it shows a buck-boost converter with an H-bridge, which requires few components (three switches, two diodes, one inductor and one capacitor) to convert AC input to DC output directly. This circuit can handle a wide range of output voltage. Second, a direct AC-DC buck converter is proposed for lower o...

The analysis and design of single phase inverter for photovoltaic (PV) applications based on interleaved flyback converter topology operating in discontinuous current mode with Extended switched Inductor Quasi Z-Source (ESL-QZS) network. In today’s PV inverter technology, the simple and the least-cost advantage of the flyback topology is promoted only at very low power. Therefore, the primary a...

This paper presents a new step-up DC/DC converter topology to be used for distributed energy systems. The topology contains a voltage-fed quasiZ-source inverter with continuous input current, a high-frequency step-up isolation transformer and a voltage doubler rectifier. Main operating modes of the converter are explained and steady state analysis of the voltage-fed quasi-Z-source inverter is p...

Simulation of light propagation within nematic liquid-crystal (LC) devices is considered, of which the director is aligned normal to the z axis. A three-dimensional full-vector finite-difference beam propagation method for an anisotropic medium is presented and an alternating direction implicit scheme is adopted. Simulations of light propagation in a bulk polarization converter, a waveguide wit...

This paper presents the detailed mathematical modeling of Z-source dc-dc converter (ZSC) in continuous conduction mode. Transfer function of ZSC is derived based on mathematical modeling with state space averaging method. This paper has been focused on dynamic modeling of open loop transfer function of ZSC along with design of closed loop controller. MATLAB based simulation results are presente...
