A6s t~ac t A flyback dc-dc converter is obtained from t h e conventional buck-boost converter by replacing t h e inductor with an isolation transformer. A transformer in the flyback converter is used to achieve a d c isolation between t h e input and the o u t p u t of t h e converter. This paper presents dc and small-signal circuit models for t h e flyback converter for continuous conduction m...

In this paper, we analyze the behaviour of a switched mode power supply (SMPS) regarding the radiated magnetic nearfield through an initial understanding of the electrical working of the converter, particularly during switchings. We propose a method based on impedance analysis at each state of the converter in order to predict the resonances of currents and/or voltages in the SMPS at the origin...

The small-signal impedance modeling of modular multilevel converter (MMC) is the key for analyzing resonance and stability of MMC-based ac power electronics systems. MMC is a converter system with a typical multi-frequency response due to its significant steady-state harmonic components in the arm currents, capacitor voltages, and control signals. Therefore, traditional small-signal modeling me...

Addition of an input filter to a current-programmed converter can cause the controller to oscillate. Two instability mechanisms can typically occur: 1) the current programmed controller effective current feedback loop may become unstable, or 2) the controller effective input voltage feed forward loop, which becomes a positive feedback loop when an input filter is added, may oscillate. Design cr...

All algorithms for impedance calculation use an analog-to-digital converter. The high accuracy of the impedance seen by a distance relay is an important factor in the correct isolation of the faulty part of power systems. To achieve this, a novel&#10technique based on third order interpolation is used in this paper. According to this technique, the times and the values of the obtained samples a...

A new form of magnetically coupled DC/DC converter is proposed for medium power applications (250 W to 2 kW), requiring a high-voltage gain, short inductive charging time and galvanic isolation. The proposed converter can be realised using a unique Y-source impedance network and a two-switch push–pull circuit with voltage-doubling rectification. The converter’s voltage gain is presently not mat...

In this paper, a high-efficiency fuel cell implemented by an LLC resonant dc–dc converter is proposed to save the cost and energy of fuel cell. The proposed converter has zero-voltage switching (ZVS) operation of the primary switches and zero-current switching (ZCS) operation of the rectifier diodes. By frequency modulation control, the output impedance of an LLC resonant converter can be regul...

Several studies [1,2] have shown the potential of EIT to estimate cardiovascular parameters. To achieve this goal, EIT devices have to deal with small impedance variations. As a consequence, the high value of the direct component (DC) of the bio-impedance signal becomes an issue in terms of analog to digital converter resolution. With this research, we aim at demonstrating that the DC of the si...
