A single-phase ac-to-dc converter using threephase modified series-parallel resonant converter is proposed in this paper. The three-phase resonant converter is analyzed using Fourier series approach. The design curves for a resonant converter of 2.5 kW rating are plotted. The converter components are selected based on the design curves. The converter is simulated for different load conditions u...

In this project presents a new non conventional energy source based bidirectional dc/dc converter for transfer the power in both directions. The nonconventional source of solar energy with Maximum Power Point Tracking is used to avoid the demand of electric power, which is inexhaustible and non pollution .The maximum power point traction is the combination of switch mode converter and Controlle...

1 This work is supported by Philips Research, Briarcliff Manor, NY, through Colorado Power Electronics Center Abstract – Single-switch step-up/step-down converters, such as the buck-boost, SEPIC and Cuk, have relatively high voltage and current stresses on components compared to the buck or the boost converter. A buck-boost converter with two independently controlled switches can work as a boos...

This article proposed a novel topology of dynamic voltage regulator using transformer and PWM multi-level AC/AC converter. In this paper for finding the best value of duty ratio for switches to minimize the THD, the GA algorithm has been used and THD output voltage is assumed to be fitness function. The proposed voltage regulator employs multi-level AC/AC converter to generate compensation volt...

This paper presents a soft-switching DC-DC boost converter, which can be utilized in renewable energy systems such as photovoltaic array, and wind turbine connections to infinite bus of a big power network, using grid connected inverters. In the proposed topology for the DC-DC boost converter, the main and the auxiliary power switches are turned on and turned off with zero voltage switching (ZV...

This paper deals with a design of a cost-effective protection circuits for a new developed high-power self-oscillating converter. The proposed solution provides a simple way to protect the converter and converterpowered circuits from the damage caused by possible fault modes of operation. It covers three typical failure events – short circuit at the output, overloading and overheating of the co...

The Alternate Arm Converter (AAC) is a voltage source converter being developed as an alternative to the Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) for HVDC power transmission and reactive power compensation. Each Arm of the converter contains high voltage series IGBT Director Switches and full-bridge cells, which enables the VSC to ride through AC and DC network faults. This paper describes how the AA...

In this paper, Fuzzy Logic controller is developed for ac/ac Matrix Converter. Furthermore, Total Harmonic Distortion is reduced significantly. Space Vector Algorithm is a method to improve power quality of the converter output. But its quality is limited to 86.7%.We are introduced a Cross coupled DQ axis controller to improve power quality. The Matrix Converter is an attractive topology for Hi...

An on-chip calibration technique has been proposed for a 7-bit Comparator Based Asynchronous Binary Search (CABS) A/D Converter. The proposed design is veri-fied using an 8-bit, 3.3V, 10 MS/s Asynchronous SAR A/D Converter by integrating the calibration scheme into the A/D Converter. The 8-bit Asynchronous SAR A/D Converter consists of a track-and-hold followed by a two-step conversion process....
