Photovoltaic and wind are renewable energy resources that widely used and grow rapidly in fulfilling electricity demand. Powers from both technologies depend on sunlight intensity and wind speed. For small scale power generation, DC voltage from both technologies is low and requires step-up converter to raise DC voltage ratio before converted into AC voltage. To optimize this system, step-up co...

In this paper a new step-up DC-to-DC converter with high voltage conversion ratio with small voltage stress is presented. The converter is suitable for the applications where high voltage conversion ratio is required. The proposed converter is different from the conventional Cuk converter and for a given duty ratio provides high conversion ratio with reduced switch voltage stress. Due to low sw...

This paper presents a boost converter along with a flyback converter. The Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) technique is used to achieve soft switching. A bidirectional boost converter is connected with an output module as a Parallel Input Serial Output configuration. The flyback converter with Voltage Doubler Rectifier (VDR) acts as an output module. This connection makes a bidirectional boost conv...

Abstract: This paper proposed a new type of converter called Single Phase Switched Inductor Z-source Matrix Converter (SLMC). It is an ac-to-ac converter with diode bridge bidirectional switch cell. The limitations of existing matrix converter like voltage regulation and quality output issues are overcome in the proposed SLMC by adding the switched inductance. The simulation is performed for di...
