Design and implementation of a current controlled single stage single phase integrated AC/DC isolated Power Factor Correction (PFC) converter is presented in this paper. With the integrated topology reduces the number control switches. The proposed converter has the advantage of low bulk capacitor voltage and only single control switch hence reduce in complexity in control and cost. Sub-harmoni...

Model Integrated Computing (MIC) promotes the use of models as a “backbone” of model-integrated system development. In this paper, we study the use of MIC to design a heterogeneous high-performance, low-power embedded system. Use of MIC enabled us to accommodate evolving performance requirements, target hardware specification, and mission scenarios while promoting design reuse. MILAN is a model...

The application of the sliding-mode control theory to the regulation of dc-to-dc switching converters is reviewed. Subsequently, linear dynamical models are derived and compensating networks are designed. An analog integrated circuit illustrating the theory has been designed, implemented and applied to regulate a buck converter in continuous conduction mode. Experimental verifications are provi...

In this paper utilization of a buck-boost converter for control of photovoltaic power using Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control mechanism is presented. First the photovoltaic module is analyzed using MATLAB. For the main aim of the project is the buck -boost converter is to be used along with a Maximum Power Point Tracking control mechanism. The MPPT is responsible for extracting the ma...

A novel interleaved boost and buck converter with zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and zero-current switching (ZCS) characteristic is proposed in this paper. By using the interleaved approach, this topology not only decreases the current stress of the main circuit device but also reduces the ripple of the input current and output voltage. Moreover, by establishing the common soft-switching module, ...

High step-up ratio DC-DC converters with megawatt ratings are of interest in wind turbine interfaces and high-voltage direct-current systems. The modular multilevel DC-DC converter based on the standard boost converter topology but with the normal single switches replaced by a number of capacitor-clamped sub-modules. The converter is operated in resonant mode with resonance between sub-module c...

This paper discusses the use of printed circuit board (PCB) integrated inductors for low power dc/dc buck converters. Coreless, magnetic plates and closed core structures are compared in terms of achievable inductance, power handling and efficiency in a footprint of 10 10mm. The magnetic layers consist of electroplated NiFe, so that the process is fully compatible with standard PCB process. Ana...

Among renewable energy sources, solar power has the potential to become one of the main contributors to the future electricity supply. Low voltage photovoltaic systems require a high voltage gain converter for module’s grid connection through a DC-AC inverter. This paper proposes a converter that achieves a high step-up voltage conversion ratio, which contains a coupled inductor, without extrem...
