For the secure usage of battery charging and discharging within electric vehicles, study cell pack equalization technology is essential. Therefore, in this paper, an improved Bidirectional Cuk equalizer (BCEQ) structure based on a variable-domain fuzzy PID (VFPID) control strategy recommended stages. With new topology, only half capacitive inductive components are needed to transfer energy betw...

In a previous paper, an account had been given to the various aspects for the control of PWM-type switching dc-dc converters, and an LQR-based digital combined observer controller had been proposed. This paper reports the progress on further research in this topic. It is found that the design of the state estimator (observer) according to the previous paper will lead to a steady-state error in ...

In this paper, nonlinear-carrier (NLC) control is proposed for high-power-factor rectifiers based on flyback, Cuk or Sepic converters operated in the continuous conduction mode. In the NLC controller, the switch duty ratio is determined by comparing a signal proportional to the integral of the switch current with a periodic nonlinear carrier waveform. The shape of the NLC waveform is determined...

In this paper a new step-up DC-to-DC converter with high voltage conversion ratio with small voltage stress is presented. The converter is suitable for the applications where high voltage conversion ratio is required. The proposed converter is different from the conventional Cuk converter and for a given duty ratio provides high conversion ratio with reduced switch voltage stress. Due to low sw...
