This paper proposes an approximate output tracking control for a class of PWM switched dc-dc converters driving LED lighting systems. The proposed model provides a discrete-time response of the one-cycle average (OCA) value of output signal of the system. Typically, the proposed model has unstable zero dynamics, as well as a nonlinear dependence on the duty ratio control input. Using scheduled ...

This paper proposes a novel topology of multilevel current source inverter which is suitable to apply in low/medium voltage. The proposed topology is capable of producing desirable bidirectional output current levels. Furthermore, it can employ symmetrical DC current sources as well as asymmetrical ones which is a significant advantage. Asymmetrical mode makes it possible to generate a great nu...

A non-isolated DC/DC converter with high transfer gain is proposed in this paper. The presented converter consists of the switched inductor and three-level converters. The DC/DC power converter is three-level boost converter to convert the output voltage of the DC source into two voltage sources. The main advantages of DC/DC converter are using low voltage semiconductors and high gain voltage. ...

37 Abstract— This paper presents a comparison of half bridge and full bridge isolated, soft-switched, DC-DC converters for Electrolysis application. An electrolyser is a part of renewable energy system which generates hydrogen from water electrolysis that used in fuel cells. A DC-DC converter is required to couple electrolyser to system DC bus. The proposed DC-DC converter is realized in both f...

This paper proposes a high voltage ratio and low ripple interleaved boost DC-DC converter, which can be used to reduce the output voltage ripple. This converter transfers the low DC voltage of fuel cell to high DC voltage in DC link. The structure of the converter is parallel with two voltage-doublers boost converters by interleaving their output voltages to reduce the voltage ripple ratio. Bes...

Photovoltaic (PV) cell converts sunrays into electrical energy, which has non-linear I-V characteristics. For extracting maximum power from photovoltaic (PV) array for varying environmental conditions, it is necessary to use MPPT tracker. The MPPT consists of DC-DC converter and MPPT algorithm, DC-DC converter is inserted between solar panel and load or battery. The task of MPPT tracker is to m...
