Boost derived Active Power Factor Correction (APFC) imposes high stress on the main diode and main switch due to the high reverse voltage which may result in a very high reverse current. This study analyses the engineering requirements of the diode and transistor in APFC applications and compares a design that uses a fast silicon diode plus lossless snubber to a design with a Silicon Carbide (S...

This paper presents an influence issue improved by victimisation buck-boost convertor for BLDC motor drive as a value effective answer for low power applications. AN approach of speed management of BLDC motor by dominant the DC link voltage of VSI (Voltage supply Inverter) is employed. This facilitates the operation of VSI at fundamental change by victimisation the electronic commutation of BLD...

The dissertation presents a generalized average-current-mode control technique (GACMC), which is an extension of the average-current-mode control (ACMC) for single-phase ac-dc boost converters with power factor correction (PFC). Traditional ACMC is generalized in a sense that it offers improved performance in the form of significant reduction of the current control loop bandwidth requirement fo...

In most modern PFC circuits, to lower the input current harmonics and improve the input power factor, designers have historically used a boost topology. The boost topology can operate in the Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM), Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM), or Critical Conduction Mode. Most PFC applications using the boost topology are designed to operate over the universal input AC voltage...

Received Jan 2, 2014 Revised Mar 12, 2014 Accepted Mar 25, 2014 This paper proposes the single-switch bridgeless boost power factor correction (PFC) converter to achieve high efficiency in low cost. The proposed converter utilizes only one active switching device forPFC operation as well as expecting higher efficiency than typical boost PFC converters. On the other hand, the implementation cost...

the field of vaccinology provides excellent promises to control different infectious and non-infectious diseases. genetic immunization as a new tool in this area by using naked dna has been shown to induce humoral as well as cellular immune responses with high efficiency. this demonstrates the enormous potential of this strategy for vaccination purposes. dna vaccines have been widely used to de...

In this paper, a new circuit is proposed for step-up Z-source inverter based on QZSI (quasi-Z-source inverter). The proposed topology inherits all advantages of the conventional topology. The proposed topology in comparison with conventional topology reduces the ST (Shoot-through) duty cycle by over 25% at the same voltage boost factor. Theoretical analysis of the proposed qZSI in the ST and no...
