Abstract: There are difficulties in analyzing the stability of microgrids since they are located on various network structures. However, considering that the network often consists of passive elements, the passivity theory is applied in this paper to solve the above-mentioned problem. It has been formerly shown that when the network is weakly strictly positive real (WSPR), the DC microgrid is s...

This paper investigates the fast-scale instability in a power-factor-correction (PFC) boost converter under a conventional average current-mode control. The converter is operated in continuous mode. Computer simulations and theoretical analysis are performed to study the e ects of the time-varying input voltage under the variation of some chosen parameters on the qualitative behaviour of the sy...

In this paper, a comparative analysis on the bifurcative and chaotic behaviour of a current controlled buckboost converter with soft switching and hard switching is performed. The electromagnetic interference generated during hard switching and soft switching of the converter is analyzed. Simulation and measured results show that the total energy is more evenly spread over the frequency band du...

The optimal control problem of a switching DC-DC converter is considered in this paper. An LQ (Linear Quadratic) type performance index of the error between the current state variables and the target working point is defined. The feedback control on the decision variable of the duty cycle frequency is then formulated as a minimization of an appropriate Hamiltonian function of which suboptimal s...

The boost topology is the most popular topology used in power factor correction circuits. The efficiency and performance of the boost converter depends on the switching frequency affecting the switching losses. At high frequency operations the switching losses of the converter is considerable and decreases the efficiency of the converter. To remove this problem the converter is designed to oper...

In this paper a complete state-space average model for the buck-boost switching regulators is presented. The presented model includes the most of the regulator’s parameters and uncertainties. In modeling, the load current is assumed to be unknown, and it is assumed that the inductor, capacitor, diode and regulator active switch are non ideal and they have a resistance in conduction condition. S...

Conventional dc-dc boost converters are unable to provide high step-up voltage gains due to the effect of power switches, rectifier diodes, and the equivalent series resistance of inductors and capacitors. In this paper a Linear Peak Current Mode Controller (LPCM) for a transformerless dc-dc converters is proposed to achieve high step-up voltage gain without an extremely high duty ratio. In the...
