A full-bridge CLLL DC/DC converter that uses an auxiliary circuit is proposed in this paper. The soft switching of lagging leg and auxiliary switches is achieved by the proposed circuit for providing reduced switching losses and high efficiency. The theoretical detail operation of the converter is presented. The proposed converter is verified using MATLAB simulation. Closed loop and open loop c...

recently, lotfi et al. [10] established an equivalence model between the output-oriented dual ccr model and multiple objective linear programming (molp) and used an interactive method for finding target unit on efficiency frontier such that the decision maker preferences can be taken into account. however their method is not applicable for situations in which some outputs are undesirable and ne...

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) used to tune the Proportional and Integral (PI) controller for Single Ended Primary Inductance Converter (SEPIC) is discussed in this paper. The SEPIC is based on DC to DC converter to maintain the constant output voltage but varying input voltage. PI controller maintains a constant output of the converter, without changing sign. MATLAB simulation designing is deve...

In a DC microgrid (DC-MG), the dc bus voltage is vulnerable to power fluctuation derived from the intermittent distributed energy or local loads variation. In this paper, a virtual inertia control strategy for DC-MG through bidirectional grid-connected converters (BGCs) analogized with virtual synchronous machine (VSM) is proposed to enhance the inertia of the DC-MG, and to restrain the dc bus ...

This project is a highly efficient and novel control strategy for improving the transients in the output voltage of a dc–dc positive buck–boost converter which is required for low-power portable electronic applications. The proposed control technique can regulate the output voltage for variable input voltage (higher, lower, or equal to the output voltage). There are several existing solutions t...

This paper presents a high step up DC-DC converter to boost low voltage PV system voltage. The switched capacitor converter can obtain a high voltage gain but the line and load regulation is poor and the output voltage is not regulated. The output regulation of the non isolated switching mode DC-DC converter is excellent but the voltage gain cannot be too high.A combination method of the SC con...

A CMOS Current-mode DC-DC converter using a quadratic slope compensation scheme is presented. The use of a quadratic slope instead of a conventional linear slope makes a damping factor and a frequency bandwidth of a current feedback loop independent of the converter’s output voltage. Further designing the coefficient of the quadratic slope to be fully dependent of the input voltage, the damping...

Input-series-output-parallel (ISOP) connected DC-DC converters enable low voltage rating switches to be used in high voltage input applications. In this paper, a DSP is adopted to generate digital phase-shifted PWM signals and to fulfill the closed-loop control function for ISOP connected two full-bridge DC-DC converters. Moreover, a stable output current sharing control strategy is proposed fo...

A digital signal processor (DSP) solution is proposed to control an H-bridge DC-DC isolated output power converter. The multiple mode digital controller is evaluated with an existing Westinghouse 1-kW power stage. The digital controller was developed using the dSPACE [1] rapid prototype development system and MATLAB/Simulink. It is evaluated using a real-time digital control development platfor...
