The power converter is one of the essential elements for effective use of renewable power sources. This paper focuses on the development of a circuit simulation model for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) evaluation of solar power that involves using different buck-boost power converter topologies; including SEPIC, Zeta, and four-switch type buck-boost DC/DC converters. The circuit simulation...

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...

Abstract—The power buck converter is the most widely used DC/DC converter topology. They have a very large application area such as DC motor drives, photovoltaic power system which require fast transient responses and high efficiency over a wide range of load current. This work proposes, the modelling of DC/DC power buck converter using state-space averaging method and the current-mode control ...

In power conversion of photovoltaic (PV) energy, a hard-switching buck converter always generates some disadvantages. For example, serious electromagnetic interference (EMI), high switching losses, and stresses on an active switch (metal-oxide-semiconductor-field-effect-transistor, MOSFET), and high reverse-recovery losses of a freewheeling diode result in low conversion efficiency. To release ...

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...

The widely used converter models in most of the power electronics and power system applications are the DC-DC converter models. Increase in switching losses has been observed in Conventional Diode Bridge Rectifier (DBR) and hence the researchers are more focused towards bridgeless converters. The design of a novel bridgeless cuk converter model with buck mode operation is focused in this work. ...

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 ...
