In this paper, a new in-package high efficiency voltage down converter (VDC) is presented. Usually, quality factor of inductors is the main problem for generating high efficiency DC-DC Converters. In order to mitigate this problem, Bonding Wires with a new form are exploited in which four mutual inductions of bonding wire are used to increase the total inductance. This technique provides a high...

This paper presents a soft-switching DC-DC boost converter, which can be utilized in renewable energy systems such as photovoltaic array, and wind turbine connections to infinite bus of a big power network, using grid connected inverters. In the proposed topology for the DC-DC boost converter, the main and the auxiliary power switches are turned on and turned off with zero voltage switching (ZV...

As the deployment of distributed generation continues, an increasing number of DC/AC power inverters will be interfaced into the electric grid. Groupings of these power inverters, along with distributed storage and load, are referred to as microgrids. Microgrids offer the potential for unprecedented reliability and flexibility, but also pose new control challenges. Inverters in microgrids must ...

This paper proposes a new two-stage inverter based on transformer-less high gain DC-DC converter for energy conversion of a photovoltaic system. The designed system consists of a high gain DC-DC converter cascaded with a three-phase inverter. The proposed DC-DC converter has a simple structure, and it has one switch in its structure. The output voltage of the DC-DC converter supplies DC source ...

This paper presents the basic characteristics of the digitally controlled boost type dc-dc converter. The static and dynamic characteristics of the dc-dc converter with the digital PID control are discussed. Especially, it is examined that the A-D conversion timing and anti-aliasing filter’s cut-off frequency affect the dynamic and static characteristics. As a result, when the anti-aliasing fil...

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...

Abstract: In this paper a new topology of high step-down dc-dc converter is proposed. The proposed converter uses an interleaved structure with one phase using a traditional buck converter and the second phase uses its inverted version. By this technique a high step down voltage conversion can be achieved as compared to the traditional interleaved buck converter. Operating principle and steady ...

Current-mode control (CMC) is an extremely popular dc-dc converter loop architecture—and with good reason. Simple operation and dynamics are achieved even though two loops, a wide-bandwidth current loop lurking inside an outer voltage loop, are required. Peak, valley, average, hysteretic, constant on-time, constant offtime, and emulated current-mode are commonly used. Each technique offers plus...
