The mass usage of traditional fossil energy has adversely affected the environment on a global scale, such as environmental pollution and greenhouse effect. Meanwhile, there has been a growing demand for energy with the development of society. Since traditional fossil energy is not renewable, it is faced with the problem of energy shortage. Solar energy and hydrogen energy are promising, and ph...

Thammasat International Journal of Science and Technology, Vol. 18, No. 2, April-June 2013 42 Abstract Mainly, a photovoltaic (PV) system is able to generate wide ranges of voltage and current at terminal output. However, a PV cell is required to functionally maintain a constant direct current (DC) voltage at a desired level during real-time variations of incident light illumination and ambient...

In this paper, several optimum structures of a cascaded multilevel inverter is proposed. This optimization is based on generation a constant number of output voltage levels by using minimum number of power switches or dc voltage sources or minimum amount of blocked voltage by power switches. In addition, the optimum structure for a constant number of dc voltage sources by using minimum number o...

A single stage single switch AC/DC converter is an integration of input current shaper and a DC/DC cell with a shared controller and one active switch. The converter is applicable for digital input power supply with high input power factor and tight output voltage regulation. The focus of the topology is to reduce the DC bus voltage at light load without compromising with input power factor and...

In this study investigation is done on an H-bridge switched inductor base cascade multilevel DC-DC boost converter. The proposed multilevel DC-DC boost converter topology improves the conversion efficiency of traditional topology. The proposed boost converter topology is differing from the traditional topology by the addition of switched inductor circuit. The switched inductor improved the conv...
