A new three-level ac–dc single-stage converter that can operate with standard phase-shift pulse width modulation is proposed in this letter. In this letter, the operation of the converter is explained, and its feasibility is confirmed with experimental results obtained from a prototype converter. Finally, the efficiency of the new converter is compared with that of a previously proposed convert...

For beneficiation of converter slag, the role of surface phenomena on slag composition was studied. This work includes some experimental data, which were measured for basic oxygen steel (BOS) slag in Isfahan Steel Plant. All data were collected on site in the plant. The results support the idea that surface activity plays a major role in converter slag formation. It was also a new finding t...

Controlling of DC-DC converter is vital task in power conversion. DC-DC converters are used in many applications like solar charger, computer power supplies, switching mode regulators, aircrafts etc. Focus of this paper is to model a controlling system for buck converter which controls output of buck converter constant instead of changing load and input supply to buck converter. Controlling met...

This paper focuses on the operating principle of an Alternate Arm Modular Multilevel Converter. At the beginning the advantages of multilevel converter, basic schematic of converter topology, and its operation...

This paper describes a new design for direct sliding mode method with a high switching frequency using the PD-PI type sliding surface applied to a negative output Luo converter worked in continuous current mode for applications required constant power source such as aerospace applications, medical equipment and etc. Because of the output power and line changes, the converter model is also nonli...

This paper introduces a bi-directional DC-DC converter with adaptive fuzzy logic controller (AFLC). Bi-directional power flow is obtained by the same power components and provides a simple, efficient, and galvanically isolated converter. In the presence of DC mains, the converter operates as buck converter, powers the down stream converter, and also charges the battery. When the DC mains fails,...

The fly back converter has been widely used for multi outputs due to the simple structure and low cost in low-power applications. This paper presents a new multi output converter. It consists of a half-bridge inverter with boost converter in primary side and a fly back rectifier that is integrated with an auxiliary buck converter in secondary side. The boost converter is used to generate high v...

In this paper, a new structure for buck-boost Z-source converter based on Z-H topology is proposed. The proposed converter consists of two LC networks similar to the conventional Z-source and Z-H converters. One of the characteristics of the proposed structure is that, without any changing in its’ power circuit, it can be used in different conversions such as dc/dc, dc/ac and ac/ac. This unique...

− In this paper, small signal characteristic of a LLC resonant converter is analyzed. LLC resonant converter was been reported in many papers recently because of its simple structure, high efficiency and high switching frequency capability. In order to make practical use of this topology, understanding its small signal characteristic is essential to design the control loop. For PWM converter, s...
