With the development of fuel cell based power systems, the need for more advanced DCDC power converters has become apparent. In such applications DC-DC converters provide an important link between low voltage fuel cell sources and inverter buses operating at significantly higher voltages. Advancements in converter efficiency, cost reduction, and size reduction are the most necessary. These chal...

High boost DC/DC voltage conversion is always indispensable in a power electronic interface of certain battery-powered electrical equipment. However, a conventional boost converter works for a wide duty cycle for such high voltage gain, which increases power consumption and has low reliability problems. In order to solve this issue, a new battery-powered combined boost converter with an interle...

Most of the power electronic equipments are operated with dc supply. For reliable and stable operation, dc supply should be regulated. The regulation can be performed using buck, boost, Cûk, Sepic, Flyback regulators. Except single phase rectifier with resistive load all other rectifiers input currents are non sinusoidal in nature. This front end current distortion of rectifier converter leads ...

Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a custom power device used in electrical distribution system for power quality improvement. The main application of DVR is for voltage compensation of sensitive loads against voltage disturbances such as voltage sag and voltage swell in distribution lines. It is a series connected device and is able to compensate voltage sag and voltage swell by injecting a vol...

In the application of vehicle power supply and distributed power generation, there are strict requirements for the pulse width modulation (PWM) converter regarding power density and reliability. When compared with the conventional insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) module, the Reverse Conducting-Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (RC-IGBT) with the same package has a lower thermal resistan...

This paper proposes a novel wind energy conversion system based on a Five-phase Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Generator (5-PMSG) and a Five to three Matrix Converter (5-3MC). The low cost and volume and also eliminating grid side converter controller are attractive aspects of the proposed topology compared to the conventional with back-to-back converters. The control of active and reactive pow...

This paper presents a high-efficiency nonisolated interleaved dc–dc inductor boost converter with a common active clamp circuit. Interleaved boost converters are highly preferred as it reduces the ripple current. A boost converter is used to clamp the voltage stresses of all the switches in the interleaved converter which is caused by the leakage inductances. The leakage energies of the interle...

Abstract: In this work, a unidirectional full-bridge resonant converter with secondary-side phase-shifted control is addressed. With the variation of voltage gain and power level, this converter may enter into different operational modes, including three continuous current modes and one discontinuous current mode. The details in each operation mode are discussed one by one. The boundary conditi...
