DC-DC converter is a converter where we are regulating the input voltage to get the desired output voltage which is either greater than or equal to or less than the input voltage with positive or negative polarity. A lot of dc-dc converters are available in the world out of which SEPIC (Single-Ended Primary-Inductor Converter) converter is one of them. To analyse the converter, a lot of techniq...

Nowadays, one of the challenges in transport electrification is reduction components' size and weight order to improve power density. This often achieved by designing electrical machines with higher rotational speeds excitation frequencies. In addition, converter needs control machine over a wide speed range given mission profile. Therefore, copper losses can significantly increase due combinat...

This thesis aims to identify and analyze the nonlinear behavior in the threephase voltage source converter, which is widely used as an interface converter in a distributed hybrid power system (DHPS). In this system, the converter does not work as a standalone converter but operates as a subsystem that connects to a non-ideal power grid and interacts indirectly with other subsystems via a point ...

An Integrated double buck boost converter is analyzed and the design methodology is made as a high power factor of the power supply for the power LED lamps. The IDBB converter features just one controlled switch and two inductors and is able to supply a solid-state lamp from the mains, providing high power factor. Here with a careful design of the converter, the filter capacitances can be made ...

In this paper, a three-level integrated ac–dc converter with power factor correction is presented. The proposed converter integrates the operation of the boost power factor correction and the three-level dc–dc converter. The converter is made to operate with two independent controllers—an input controller that performs power factor correction and regulates the dc bus and an output controller th...

Chaotic behaviors of the buck converter were demonstrated by computer simulation studies. The paper implied theoretical considerations and simulations for this kind of converter using a sliding-mode control. The method tried to establish a periodic behavior from a chaotic one in converter behavior. Key-Words: buck converter, sliding-mode, control, bifurcation, periodic, chaotic

Due to increasing concerns on the power quality, power factor correction (PFC) has become an important issue in light-emitting diode (LED) lighting applications. A boost converter is one of the most well-known PFC topologies, due to its simple circuitry, simple control scheme and small number of passive components. Even though a boost converter is recognized as a typical PFC converter, its outp...

This paper proposes a novel soft-switching singlephase ac–dc–ac converter to give high input power factor and low current distortion on the rectifier side and provide clean and stable ac voltage on the inverter side. The proposed converter uses a new zero voltage switching (ZVS) strategy to get ZVS function. Besides operating at constant frequency, all semiconductor devices operate at soft-swit...

A technique has been developed to actively identify the open-loop characteristics of a DC-DC converter while the unit operates. A digital controller is used to perform both the closed-loop control of the converter and to periodically identify the “plant” using a pseudo-random digital signal. Experimental results are provided for a digitally controlled 90W forward converter to demonstrate accura...
