This paper presents development of an optimal control strategy for a hybrid photovoltaic/battery energy storage (PV/BES) system. The fluctuations at the DC bus voltage due to voltage sag were mitigated by using charge/discharge capability of the BES through the DC/DC buck/boost converter. Furthermore, an optimization of system control parameters responsible for DC bus voltage regulation within ...

A new "model-free" control methodology is applied to a boost power converter. The properties of the boost converter allow to evaluate the performances of the model-free strategy in the case of switching nonlinear transfer functions, regarding load variations. Our approach, which utilizes "intelligent" PI controllers, does not require any converter model identification while ensuring the stabili...

This paper explains Design, simulation and implementation of Perturb and Observe (P&O) Fuzzy Based control of DC-DC Converter in Photo-Voltaic (PV) System. A standalone PV system connected to a Boost converter with a resistive load and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is modeled and implemented. A battery is used for storage purpose.

In this paper, sliding mode control (SMC) for a bidirectional buck/boost DC-DC converter (BDC) with constant frequency in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is discussed. Since the converter is a high-order converter, the reduced-order sliding manifold is exploited. Because of right-half-plan zero (RHPZ) in the converter’s duty ratio to output voltage transfer function, sliding mode current...

Power factor is the ratio of true power or watts to apparent power or volt amps.

All of the switching devices in the proposed converter achieve zero current switching (ZCS) or zero volt...

The boost topology is often the designer's first choice when dealing with PFC front-ends. This topology is well documented in the literature and has obvious advantages like continuous input current and low voltageand current-stress compared to other PFC topologies. The PFC SEPIC converter also has the advantage of the continuous input current but suffers from high voltageand current stress. In ...
