This paper presents a novel methodology using coupled inductor for hybridizing multi input sources. A four port three input dc-dc converter is chosen, two photovoltaic sources and a storage medium are interfaced with the converter. The two sources can supply the load as well as charge the battery. Four independently controlled switches are employed to provide dc regulated output. The hybridizat...

Distributed generation is an emerging concept in the electricity sector, which represents good alternatives for electricity supply instead of the traditional centralized power generation concept. Among different distributed generation schemes, fuel cell is expected play a big part due to its inherent advantages. The power density of the quasi-Z-source-based single-phase isolated DC/DC converter...

The source frequency has a strong influence on plasma characteristics in RF discharges. Multiple sources at widely different frequencies are often simultaneously used to separately optimize the magnitude and energy of ion fluxes to the substrate. In doing so, the sources are relatively independent of each other. These sources can, however, nonlinearly interact if the frequencies are sufficientl...

This paper investigates the reliability of an isolated buck-boost DC-DC converter (IBBC) based on configuration a series resonant (SRC). Two approaches are employed to predict IBBC reliability, which MIL-HDBK-217F handbook and FIDES guide. The latter approach can take into account how failure rate components physics is influenced by varying yearly mission profile. To do this, thermal loading ea...

This paper proposes and analyzes a two-stage dc-dc isolated converter for electric vehicle charging applications, where high efficiency over wide range of battery voltages is required. The proposed conversion circuit comprises first two-output isolation stage with CLLC resonant structure second two-input buck regulator. transformer the designed such that its two output correspond, ideally, to m...
