High step-up ratio DC-DC converters with megawatt ratings are of interest in wind turbine interfaces and high-voltage direct-current systems. The modular multilevel DC-DC converter based on the standard boost converter topology but with the normal single switches replaced by a number of capacitor-clamped sub-modules. The converter is operated in resonant mode with resonance between sub-module c...

This paper presents a high step-down tranformerless single-stage single-switch ac/dc converter suitable for universal line applications (90–270 Vrms ). The topology integrates a buck-type power-factor correction (PFC) cell with a buck–boost dc/dc cell and part of the input power is coupled to the output directly after the first power processing. With this direct power transfer feature and shari...

With the increasing demand for power from the ac line and more stringent limits for power quality, power factor correction has gained great attention in recent years. A variety of circuit topologies and control methods have been developed for the PFC application. While the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) converters such as boost and flyback converters are well suited for low power applicati...

The proposed converter operates in zero voltage switching ...

A switched implementation of average dynamic output feedback laws trough a Σ-∆-modulator, widely known in the classic communications and analog signal encoding literature, not only frees the sliding mode control approach from state measurements and the corresponding synthesis of sliding surfaces in the plant’s state space, but it also allows to effectively transfer all desired closed loop featu...

In view of the stratospheric airship application requirements on energy storage and management system, based on the topology of DC/DC converter main circuit, the composite PI controller is designed to realize respective control with the Boost mode and Buck mode. Furthermore, limit stop integration method is proposed to achieve a buck-boost complex DC/DC converter boost with effective switching ...

an automatic fuzzy control (AFC) system for a parallel dc-dc converter, and the control objective is to achieve the stable voltage regulation and uniform current distribution. The average model for an example of a three-module boost converter, which is composed of three conventional boost converter frames in parallel connection, is derived for the design of this AFC system including voltage and...

Photovoltaic (PV) systems with a battery back-up form an integral part of distributed generation systems and therefore have recently attracted a lot of interest. In this paper, we consider a system of charging a battery from a PV panel through a current mode controlled boost dc-dc converter. We analyze its complete nonlinear/nonsmooth dynamics, using a piecewise model of the converter and reali...

Portable electronic devices not only require switching DC-DC converters to be compact and integrated but also compliant to wide off-chip LC filter variations, which are subject to manufacturing tolerances, temporal and thermal parameter drifts, and more often than not, application-driven constraints. While optimal LC compliance has been demonstrated in ΣΔ buck converters, little has been done i...
