This paper proposes a multi-stage power generation system suitable for renewable energy sources, which is composed of a DC-DC power converter and a three-phase inverter. The DC-DC power converter is a boost converter to convert the output voltage of the DC source into two voltage sources. The DC-DC converter has two switches operates like a continuous conduction mode. The input current of DC-DC...

This story has been happening as the demand for high-speed data increases and battery capacity has not matched advances with communications technology. It’s not the battery at fault but the technology needed to power the amplifier on the phone. For years, normal DC-DC converters managed the battery power flowing in the phone to different chips. This included the power amplifier (PA) for driving...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motor drives are becoming more popular in industrial, traction applications. This makes the control of BLDC motor in all the four quadrants very vitalThe motor is operated in four steady state operating modes of torque-speed plane. To control a BLDC machine it is generally required to measure the speed and position of rotor by using the sensor because the inverter phases, ac...

A new software tool for learning the dynamic behavior of power electronics circuits is developed for undergraduate students. This tool incorporates the merits of two well-known software packages, namely, the realistic time-domain simulation of PSpice and the parametric identification process of MatLab. Hence, without going through complicated mathematics, the students can easily obtain the tran...

A DC-DC step-up micro power converter for solar energy harvesting applications is presented. The circuit is based on a switchedcapacitor voltage tripler architecture with MOSFET capacitors, which results in an area approximately eight times smaller than using MiM capacitors for the 0.13μm CMOS technology. In order to compensate for the loss of efficiency, due to the larger parasitic capacitance...

Axial Flux Ironless permanent magnetic synchronous motor (AFIPMSM) is a new permanent magnetic motor. It has many advantages, such as high torque-to-weight ratio, good efficiency, no cogging torque, and the sinusoidal back EMF. It gradually becomes the good choice in drive system. However, the small armature winding inductance causes the current is not continued with the PWM control based on VS...

--------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT------------------------------------------------------This paper deals with modelling and simulation of high step up DC – AC converter with micro source at the input. The 15V DC is stepped up to 230V DC using high step up DC-DC Converter. This DC is converted into AC using a single phase inverter. The DC-AC converter system i...

In this work, a zero static error proportional controller for a two-cell DC-DC buck converter is synthesized and analyzed. Under a traditional proportional control scheme, the system presents a constant error of the current supplying the output load. As the proportional feedback gain is increased, the average static error decreases. However, sub-harmonic oscillations and chaotic behavior emerge...
