A novel integrated buck-flyback non isolated power factor (PF) correction (PFC) converter is proposed in this paper. This new converter is an inherent integration of a buck converter and a flyback converter, which operates in either flyback mode or buck mode according to whether the input voltage is lower or higher than the output voltage. In this way, the dead zones of ac input current in trad...

A non-isolated DC/DC converter with high transfer gain is proposed in this paper. The presented converter consists of the switched inductor and three-level converters. The DC/DC power converter is three-level boost converter to convert the output voltage of the DC source into two voltage sources. The main advantages of DC/DC converter are using low voltage semiconductors and high gain voltage. ...

<p>Photovoltaic (PV) systems can be made more efficient by forcing the PV panel to operate at its maximum point power due electrical properties of photovoltaic generators, which are substantially non-linear (MPP). This study examines effectiveness using a combination parabolic concentrator Bi-reflector and heat exchanger as cooling system on performance generators get photovoltaic/thermal...

This project presents the operation of a distributed generation (DG) system driven by a dcdc step-up converter and a dc-ac voltage source inverter (VSI) interfaced with the power grid by Fuzzy Controller. To create a stable mode when different kinds of loads are connected locally or when working under contingency, the step-up converter must regulate the dc link voltage, allowing the VSI to stab...

As CMOS technology is scaling down, the effect of voltage drop in power distribution network is becoming more prominent. Such voltage drops on power lines in a clock network introduces significant amount of skew, thereby degrading the signal integrity. With rising power consumption and decreasing supply voltages, the supply current will increase in future devices. The IR drops can be reduced by...

This work introduces a new non-isolated buck-boost DC-DC converter. Interleaved configuration of the suggested structure increases the voltage conversion ratio. The voltage rate of the suggested converter can be stepped-up and stepped down for lower values of duty-cycle, which causes to decrease in the conduction losses of the system. The voltage conversion ratio of the recommended structure is...

A topological review of the single stage power factor correctted (PFC) rectifiers is presented in this paper. Most of reported single-stage PFC rectifiers cascade a boosttype converter with a forward or a flyback dc-dc converter so that input current shaping, isolation, and fast output voltage regulation are performed in one single stage. The cost and performance of a single-stage PFC converter...

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...
