This paper proposes a new solar power generation system, which is composed of a DC/DC power converter and a new seven-level inverter. The DC/DC power converter integrates a DC-DC boost converter and a transformer to convert the output voltage of the solar cell array into two independent voltage sources with multiple relationships. This new seven-level inverter is configured using a capacitor se...

this paper presents a novel control method to improve the efficiency of low-voltage dc-dc converters at light loads. pulse width modulation (pwm) converters have poor efficiencies at light loads, while pulse frequency modulation (pfm) control is more efficient for the same cases. switching losses constitute a major portion of the total power loss at light loads. to decrease the switching losses...

Abstract With the increasing shortage of traditional energy resources, new resources such as fuel cells are widely used. However, front-end output voltage power generation systems is low, which cannot directly supply to load. Therefore, an efficient DC converter with a high boost ratio needed raise required level. The staggered parallel has characteristics small input current ripple and gain, v...

The goal of this work is to reduce the DC-link capacitance of a two-stage single-phase inverter so much that the use of film capacitors becomes feasible in both, price and volume. Film capacitors instead of electrolytic capacitors could increase lifetime and reliability of the inverter, especially in high-temperature applications like module-integrated micro-inverters. For the capacitance reduc...

This story has been happening as the demand for high-speed data increases and battery capacity has not matched advances with communications technology. It’s not the battery at fault but the technology needed to power the amplifier on the phone. For years, normal DC-DC converters managed the battery power flowing in the phone to different chips. This included the power amplifier (PA) for driving...

A conventional high power DC power supply systems consist of a three-phase diode rectifier followed by a high frequency converter to supply loads at regulated DC voltage. These rectifiers draw significant harmonic currents from the utility, resulting in poor input power factor. In this paper, a DC power supply based on dual-bridge matrix converter (DBMC) with reduced number of switches is p...
