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...

A renewable energy source plays an important role in electricity generation. Various renewable energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal, ocean thermal, and biomass can be used for generation of electricity and for meeting our daily energy needs. Energy from the sun is the best option for electricity generation as it is available everywhere and is free to harness. On an average the sunshine h...

Abstract – In this paper an Improved Zero Voltage Zero Current Pulse Width Modulation Forward converter which employs a simple resonance snubber circuit is introduced. A simple snubber circuit consists of a capacitor, an inductor and two diodes. In proposed converter, switch Q1 operates at ZCS turn-on, and ZVS turn-off conditions and all-passive semiconductor devices operate at ZVZCS turn-on an...

A new bidirectional isolated Zero-VoltageSwitching (ZVS) DC-DC converter with nonpulsating input and output current is proposed. This converter is ideally suited for battery charging application and is applied as a submodule in a battery storage system based on a modular multilevel converter (MC). The current output of the proposed DC-DC converter enables small current ripple for directly inter...

This paper presents a new Power Electronic Building Block (PEBB) designed to facilitate the implementation of different power converter topologies. The proposed PEBB consists of two diodes and two transistors and it can be used to implement the most relevant power converter topologies, due to its modularity. The addition of the two diodes is an exclusive feature of the new PEBB, which permits t...

This paper presents concept of single phase matrix converter. Single phase matrix converter (SPMC) performs a function such as frequency changer, rectifier, inverter; chopper. This reduces the need for new converter hardware. Pulse width modulation (SPWM) techniques are used to calculate the switch duty ratio to synthesis the output. The simulation of converter is carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK...
