This paper describes a DC isolated network which is fed with Distributed Generation (DG) from photovoltaic (PV) renewable sources for supplying unbalanced AC loads. The battery energy storage bank has been connected to the DC network via DC/DC converter to control the voltage of the network and optimize the operation of the PV generation units. The PV arrays are connected to the DC network ...

This paper proposes a unified robust zero-error tracking control scheme for constant-voltage-constant-frequency (CVCF) PWM converters to eliminate the tracking error in the presence. Based on the internal model principle, the proposed control scheme plugs a reference signal generator into the stable conventional feedback closed-loop system to accomplish zero error tracking of the dc or ac refer...

The DS1875 features a pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller that can be used to control a DC-DC converter. The DC-DC converter can then be used to generate the high bias voltages necessary for avalanche photodiodes (APDs). This application note describes the operation of a boost converter that uses the DS1875. Discussion covers the selection of the inductor and switching frequency, and the se...

Space Vector Modulation (SVM) Technique has become the most popular and important PWM technique for three phase Voltage Source Inverters. Z-Source Inverters have the ability to boost the dc link voltage, thus increasing the output ac voltage beyond the values reached by conventional inverters. The enhanced ratio from ac output voltage to dc link voltage is possible due to an impedance network c...

The development of a Solid State Transformer (SST) that incorporates a DC-DC multiport converter to integrate both photovoltaic (PV) power generation and battery energy storage is presented in this dissertation. The DC-DC stage is based on a quad active-bridge (QAB) converter which not only provides isolation for the load, but also for the PV and storage. The AC-DC stage is implemented with a p...

This paper presents a unique PWM switching pattern and a novel power factor control scheme for high power GTO ac/dc converters. This switching pattern has a switching frequency of 360Hz, which is the lowest possible frequency to achieve 5th and 7th harmonic elimination and an adjustable dc output current simultaneously. Using both feedback and feedforward control techniques, the proposed power ...

This paper presents the control of a WECS (wind energy conversion system), equipped with a DFIG (doubly fed induction generator), for maximum power generation and power quality improvement simultaneously. The proposed control algorithm is applied to a DFIG whose stator is directly connected to the grid and the rotor is connected to the grid through a back-to-back AC-DC-AC PWM (pulse width modul...

Zero-current (ZC) switching pulse-widthmodulated (PWM) flyback DC-DC converter is an extended version of the single switch flyback converter with an additional active circuit. The purpose of the active circuit is to turn-off the main switch with zero-current switching (ZCS) condition to reduce the turn-off switching loss. This paper presents an overview of the ZCS flyback PWM DCDC converters. T...
