DC–DC step-up converters for high-output voltage applications typically demand high voltage devices, leading to high conduction and switching losses. This identified demand has motivated research on active clamping and multi-level topologies. On this context, this study presents the study of a novel DC–DC boost converter with three-level boost-type active clamping, zero-voltage switching (ZVS) ...

Abstract -This paper presents an optimum design for low-voltage, low-power DC-DC converter which has a controller and integrated CMOS switches using small size inductor (luH). Optimum design for single chip DC/DC converter is achieved by analyzing the amount of conduction and switching losses. Through the loss analyses, it is turned out that a constant frequency hard switching PWM converter wit...

DC motor widely used-high precision digital controls. Speed control of dc motor is achieved with smooth starter by using buck converter. Hard switching causes unsatisfactory dynamic behaviour produces abrupt variations in the V & I of the motor overcome by dc-dc buck power converter by PI controller. A separately excited dc motor is used for this simulation. The proposed system with PI control ...

The main objective of this project to control the common mode leakage current by using virtual dc bus with PV systems. The power which we receive form the PV panel is not a constant supply due to various condition. In order to overcome this issue we are using Buck Boost converter for generating constant voltage supply to the inverter. The negative pole of the dc bus is connected directly to the...

This paper presents a Selective Harmonic Elimination-PWM technology (SHE-PWM) employing H-Bridge multilevel inverter configuration. In this method variable DC voltage is used and the lower order harmonics are eliminated, without affecting the structure of the inverter. This method gives constant switching angle, so it reduces the number of steps required for offline calculation. The proposed me...

Due to global energy crisis and severe environmental pollution, the photovoltaic (PV) system has become one of the most important renewable energy sources. Many previous studies on solar charger integrated system only focus on load charge control or switching Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) and charge control modes. This study used two-stage system, which allows the overall portable solar e...

The developments in power electronics technology have led to the developments in the wind energy conversion system (WECS). The output voltage of the WECS depends on the speed of the wind, which is not constant. Hence, a power conversion unit is required to maintain the output voltage of the WECS constant. This paper presents the design of a boost converter and a voltage controller for maintaini...

A new family of matrix converters is introduced, that employs relatively simple voltage-clamped buses and can generate multilevel voltage waveforms of arbitrary magnitude and frequency. The basic configuration includes a nine-switch matrix that uses four-quadrant switch cells. Each four-quadrant switch cell resembles a full-bridge inverter and can assume three voltage levels during conduction. ...
