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...

Ramón Tortosa et al. 535 This paper introduces a systematic top-down and bottom-up design methodology to assist the designer in the implementation of continuous-time (CT) cascade sigmadelta (ΣΔ) modulators. The salient features of this methodology are (a) flexible behavioral modeling for optimum accuracy-efficiency trade-offs at different stages of the top-down synthesis process, (b) direct syn...

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. The proposed converter duty ratio is 0.65, so appropriate duty ratio is considering for this design of the converter. Due do more number of switches are considers for the converter circuit will make more switching power losses but in this converter using only two switches and hav...

In this paper an efficient topology of (Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter) SEPIC/Zeta converter is proposed to interface renewable energy sources and the load. The proposed converter is obtained by the integration of the bidirectional converter and the full-bridge converter. As the output voltage of the proposed converter is not reversed this topology provides remarkable advantages than t...

In this paper we present the modeling and control designs for a variable-speed constant-frequency wind energy conversion system using double fed induction generator (DFIG).
