To extend the operating speed range of a conventional configuration of FESS (flywheel energy storage system), an additional DC-DC boost converter is required between the machine and grid side converters to regulate the output voltage. This paper presents a new FESS based on three-phase boost inverter topology. The proposed system facilitates voltage boost capability directly in a single-stage. ...

A boost converter which employs an isolated active snubber to reduce the losses caused by the reverserecovery characteristic of the boost rectifier and the turnon discharge loss of the output capacitance of the boost switch is described. The proposed isolated active snubber consists of a coupled inductor, clamp capacitor, and ground-referenced N-type MOSFET. The performance of the proposed conv...

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...

This paper presents the comparative analysis of improved quality three phase AC/DC boost converters, using SIMULINK. Comparison of three phase controlled single switch and six switch AC/DC boost converters have been done to identify the boost converter with low cost/small size/high efficiency for three phase system. Three phase AC/DC boost converters with improved quality in terms of power fact...

The DC-DC converter topologies have received increasing attention in recent years for high power and high performance applications. The advantages of DC-DC boost converters include increased efficiency, reduced size, reduced electromagnetic emission, faster transient response, and improved reliability. The front end inductors in a boost converter are magnetically coupled to improve electrical p...

A comparative study of three topologies of recently developed voltage-fed z-source inverter (ZSI) such as simple ZSI, quasi-ZSI and trans-QZSI is presented in this paper. Different control techniques, proposed earlier for simple ZSI such as simple boost control, maximum boost control and constant boost control, have been applied here for all type of ZSI topologies. The detailed comparative eval...
