In this paper, a bidirectional AC DC converter is analyzed. The converter applies a half bridge thyristor rectifier and a recuperating thyristor bridge instead of a braking resistor. Recuperating mode of the converter is focused in the analysis, and it is shown that the converter exposes two operating modes within the recuperating mode, one characterized by negligible, and the other one charact...

This paper deals with the simulation of a Boost Power Factor Correction (PFC) Converter with Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) Filter. The diode rectifier with output capacitor gives poor power factor. The Boost Converter of PFC Circuit is analyzed and then simulated with diode rectifier. The Boost PFC Converter with EMI Filter is simulated for resistive load. The power factor is improved usi...

Fuel cells are new alternative energy resource that has a great promise for distributed generation and electric vehicle application. However, fuel cells have a slow response due to their slow internal electromechanical and thermodynamic response. To optimize the fuel cell system performance, a fuel cell DC-DC converter with an appropriate controller which can regulate the power flow and automat...

In this paper, a high voltage gain of DC-DC converter with design and simulation are proposed using coupledinductor.

This mode conv...

We propose a new converter control scheme for a converter–inverter system. The strategy is to fully utilize the inverter dynamics in controlling the converter dynamics. We obtain the power dynamics for both converter and inverter systems, and control the converter power so that it matches the required inverter power exactly. Then, in the ideal case, no power flows through the dc-link capacitors...
