This paper presents a power electronic interface (PEI) converter with three ports to connect a Photovoltaic system and a DC-microgrid to the main grid. The proposed converter is based on asymmetric Γ-source inverter, which makes two controllable ports in its DC side without utilizing any excessive DC/DC converters, which make it interesting for multi-port applications. The PEI system is expecte...

A constant voltage regulator, to supply constant power loads, is realized using a Switched-capacitor converter.

This application note describes step-by-step design considerations for a power supply using the FAN480X controller. The FAN480X combines a PFC controller and a PWM controller. The PFC controller employs average current mode control for Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) boost converter in the front end. The PWM controller can be used in either current mode or voltage mode for the downstream conve...

The integration of unpredictable renewable energy sources into the low voltage (LV) power grid results in new challenges when it comes to ensuring power quality in the power grid. Addressing this problem requires control of not only the secondary substation but also control of flexible assets inside the LV grid. In this paper we investigate how the flexibility information of such assets can be ...

This paper proposes a Flexible Power Electronic Transformer (FPET) for the application in the micro-grids. The low frequency transformer is usually used at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) to connect the low voltage grid and utility network to each other. The conventional 50Hz transformer results in enhanced low voltage-grid power management system during grid-connected operation. In this pap...
