During the 1980s, electronic power conversion became commonplace in industrial, commercial, and institutional networks. These new loads, known as power converters, impact all electrical networks, usually in a negative manner. Power converters tend to be disruptive to the utility network and sometimes to other consumers. When power electronic loads are present, attempts to correct power factor i...

Magnetics devices are an important part of every power electronics converter. Always, the realisation magnetic elements must be connected with converter design. The projects include models and design converter, magnetics too. describes parts for converters is topic this article. In paper, basic theory reviewed, including circuits equation inductor modelling. Power losses in winding conductors a...

With wide-spread application of power electronic converters in high power systems, there has been a growing interest in system reliability analysis and fault-tolerant capabilities. This paper presents a comprehensive review of conventional fault-tolerant techniques regarding power electronic converters in case of power semiconductor device failures. These techniques can be classified into four ...

In today's electric power systems, power electronic converters play an increasingly important role for integration of smart grids, renewable energy resources and energy storage devices. Power converters are key components that physically connect wind power, solar panels, and batteries to the grid. Traditionally, those converters are controlled using standard control mechanisms. However, recent ...

Boost power converters have been widely used for Power Factor Correction (PFC) in AC-DC conversions [1] and for power management in battery powered DC-DC conversions [2]. Moving beyond low-power applications, such as cellular phones, smart phones and other portable electronic products, boost converters are being used more and more in medium-power applications. For example, in computing and cons...
