Optimal Inductor Current in Boost DC/DC Converters Operating in Burst Mode Under Light-Load Conditions

Benchmark: DC-to-DC Switched-Mode Power Converters (Buck Converters, Boost Converters, and Buck-Boost Converters)

Power electronics represent a large and important class of hybrid systems, as modern digital computers and many other systems rely on their correct operation. In this benchmark description, we model three DC-toDC switched-mode power converters as hybrid automata with continuous dynamics specified by linear ordinary differential equations. A DC-toDC converter transforms a DC source voltage from ...

Effectiveness of DSTATCOM to Compensate the Load Current Harmonics in Distribution Networks under Various Operating Conditions

The Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) is a compensating device which is used to control the flow of reactive power in the distribution systems. This paper focuses on power quality improvement with DSTATCOM on feeders feeding linear loads, nonlinear loads and DTC induction motor drive. In this paper, effectiveness of DSTATCOM in distribution networks to compensate the load current harmo...

Existence of horseshoe maps in current-mode controlled buck-boost dc/dc converters

In this paper, a buck-boost dc/dc converter under a typical current-mode control is studied. The existence of chaos is proven theoretically in this system. The proof consists of showing that the dynamics of the system is semiconjugate to that of the one-sided shift map, which implies positive entropy of the system and hence chaotic behavior. The essential tool is the horseshoe hypotheses propos...

Comparison of Inductor Models Used in Analysis of the Buck and Boost Converters

The inductive devices with the ferromagnetic core are widely used in many electronic circuits, for example in the buck and boost converters, to store magnetic energy. They should be treated as nonlinear devices, and the nonlinearity of their characteristics arises from the dependence of inductance on current. In the paper the influence of the nonlinear and linear inductor models on some selecte...
