DC-DC converters have been applied to industrial applications widely during the past few decades. With rapid development of technology, negative output (N/O) dc-dc converters play an important role in the industrial fields, such as regenerative braking system (RBS) of DC motors for hybrid electric vehicles, signal generator and data transmission interface, neutral point clamping power electroni...

Most of the power factor regulator topologies in continuous conduction mode result in bulky magnetics, and in discontinuous conduction mode result in high harmonic content. To solve these problems a Cuk topology is presented in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with coupled inductors for power factor regulation, the unique feature exhibited by the converter that makes the converter better tha...

In a previous paper, an account had been given to the various aspects for the control of PWM-type switching dc-dc converters, and an LQR-based digital combined observer controller had been proposed. This paper reports the progress on further research in this topic. It is found that the design of the state estimator (observer) according to the previous paper will lead to a steady-state error in ...

چکیده: در این مقاله یک مبدل dc-dc بدون ترانسفورماتور با ضریب بهره بالا و تنش ولتاژ پائین در دو سر کلید فعال پیشنهاد می شود. در این مبدل تنها یک کلید فعال به کار رفته است، لذا کنترل مبدل پیشنهادی ساده بوده و تلفات هدایتی کلید فعال نیز پائین است. بهره ولتاژ مبدل پیشنهادی در مقایسه با مبدل افزاینده مرسوم بالاتر بوده و مبدل پیشنهادی ناحیه کاری رژیم هدایت پیوسته را گسترش می دهد. مبدل پیشنهادی دارای ...

This paper investigates the use of non-linear autoregressive exogenous (NARX) artificial neural networks (ANNs) to achieve black-box average dynamic models dc-dc converters capable capturing main converter non-linearities. Non-linearities may include, for example, behavior variations due changes operating point or mode (e.g., discontinuous conduction mode, continuous mode). presents design guid...
