Abstract This paper proposes a transformerless dual half-bridge converter (TLDAHB). By eliminating the transformer and harnessing possibility of using low inductor value, it is possible to minimise size converter. A phase-shift pulse width modulation will result in wide controlled voltage gain operation as buck boost. The theoretical topology analysis, simulation, experimental results are prese...

1 This work is supported by Philips Research, Briarcliff Manor, NY, through Colorado Power Electronics Center Abstract – In converters for power-factor-correction (PFC), universal-input capability (ability to operate from any AC line voltage, world-wide) comes with a heavy price in terms of component stresses and losses, size of components, and restrictions on the output DC voltage. A new two-s...

Abstract – Resonant parametric perturbation (RPP) method is an effective non-feedback method for controlling chaos. In this paper, the above method is applied for the current programmed buck-boost dc-dc converter which exhibits chaotic for wide parameter variations. The different possible operating regimes leading to chaotic operation of the current mode controlled buck-boost converter is discu...

A Double input DC to DC converter for low voltage energy sources applications is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter is buck-boost converter which can step up or step down the input voltage according to output voltage required at load end. 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...

Three modes of operations such as boost, buck, and buck-boost are possible using the same structure of the converter, and the converter can operat...

This paper proposes a three phase transformerless AC/AC converter which can perform both buck and boost operations based on the voltage requirements. This AC/AC converter is mainly proposed for the three phase induction motor drives with the intention to reduce the high inrush current of the conventional motor used in industrial applications. The merits of the proposed AC/AC converter can be un...

A single-stage LED driver based on interleaved buck-boost circuit and LLC resonant converter is proposed. The buck-boost circuit and LLC resonant converter are integrated by sharing switches, which can decrease the system cost and improve system efficiency. The input voltage of the buck-boost circuit is half of the rectified voltage, and two buckboost circuits are formed with the two half-bridg...

The paper focuses on a DC/DC converter that is used to adapt a varying output voltage from a solar panel to demands of an electrolyzer unit or battery charging purposes. The converter covers an input voltage span from 9 V to 24 V and has an output voltage of 12 V at a maximum current of 50 A. A modular topology of the converter is described along with a microcontroller control strategy. Finally...
