The AC voltage control of a DC/DC converter based on the modular multilevel converter (MMC) is considered under normal operation and during a local DC fault. By actively setting the AC voltage according to the two DC voltages of the DC/DC converter, the modulation index can be near unity, and the DC voltage is effectively utilized to output higher AC voltage. This significantly decreases submod...

In this paper, a novel high step-up DC-DC converter with coupled-inductor and voltage-doubler circuits is proposed. The converter achieves high step-up voltage gain with appropriate duty ratio and low voltage stress on the power switches. Also, the energy stored in the leakage inductor of the coupled inductor can be recycled to the output. The operating principles and the steady-state analyses ...

This paper presents a high step up DC-DC converter to boost low voltage PV system voltage. The switched capacitor converter can obtain a high voltage gain but the line and load regulation is poor and the output voltage is not regulated. The output regulation of the non isolated switching mode DC-DC converter is excellent but the voltage gain cannot be too high.A combination method of the SC con...

This Paper introduces new hybrid converter topologies which can supply simultaneously AC as well as DC from a single DC source. The new Hybrid Converter is derived from the single switch controlled Boost converter by replacing the controlled switch with voltage source inverter (VSI). This new hybrid converter has the advantages like reduced number of switches as compared with conventional desig...

A study of the fundamental of operation of a three-phase AC-DC power converter that uses Zero-Voltage Transition (ZVT) together with Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) is presented. The converter is basically an active rectifier divided into two converters: a matrix converter and an H bridge, which transfer energy through a high-frequency transformer, resulting in a modular AC-DC wirel...

This paper proposes a new bidirectional DC/DC converter for supercapacitor applications. The proposed converter has a parallel structure in supercapacitor side (where voltage is low and current is high) and a series structure in the other side. This structure increases efficiency of the converter. For current sharing in the parallel side of the proposed converter, two different methods are reco...

In this work a buck converter model included in the simulation software tool the SmartElectricDrives library is verified. The main focus is put on the converter losses.
