This paper represents the design procedures of different compensation schemes for voltage mode controlled (VMC) dc–dc switching converters. Proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers, Fuzzy logic controllers (FLC), parallel combination of PID and FLC, and FLC tuned by PI controller have been investigated. MATLAB software is used to depict the buck converter performance with each compens...

AC-DC single-stage converters are attractive because of their simplicity. The conventional power electronics converters used for such application have two stages, a diode bridge rectifier at the front end followed by a dc-dc boost converter. However, the extremely low output voltage of electromagnetic microgenerator does not allow diode bridge rectification. Even if possible, the losses in the ...

The penetration of renewable energy in modern power system, microgrid has become a popular application worldwide. In this paper bidirectional converters for AC and DC hybrid microgrid application are proposed as an efficient interface. To reach the goal of bidirectional power conversion, both rectifier and inverter modes are analyzed. In order to achieve high performance operation and single-ph...

Rev. Abstract The most recent version (C2MTM) of Silicon Carbide (SiC) devices is used in a Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) converter application. A 1200V, 160mohm SiC MOSFET from Cree Inc. is used to design a high-frequency ZVS LLC resonant fullbridge (FB) DC/DC converter. With the outstanding advantages of SiC MOSFET, which has lower junction capacitance and low-on-state resistor compared to a s...

The intelligent energy management system is operated automatically to ON and OFF the generating sources as per the load demand. The renewable energy sources used in this energy management system are solar, wind, fuel cell and energy storage element battery as an input source. These renewable energy sources are integrated into the main dc bus through dc-ac converter. Microgrid is basically a gro...

Linear-assisted DC/DC converters are structures that allow to take advantages of the two classic alternatives in the design of power supply systems: Voltage linear regulators (classic NPN topology or LDO –low dropout–) and switching DC/DC converters. This paper shows the proposal of a modified current-mode one-cycle control for linear-assisted DC/DC converters. The modified current-mode onecycl...

In this paper we develop a non-linear predictive controller for regulating DC-DC power converters. The proposed control strategy is implemented and tested using two models: an averaged non-linear model for control purposes and a switched Buck-Boost circuit model as the controlled plant. A comparison with classical PID control in terms of start-up behavior and robustness to disturbances is given...
