in this paper the maximum power point tracking (mppt) algorithms for wind energy systems arereviewed. as the amounts of power produced in wind power plants is changing due to theinstantaneous changing nature of the wind, it is desirable to determine the one optimal generatorspeed that ensures maximum energy yield. thus, it is important to include a controller that cantrack the maximum peak rega...

This paper presents an implementation of open loop and closed loop control of Quadratic boost converter using PID controller.  Quadratic boost converter consists of boost converter and fly back converter driven by a single switch. Quadratic boost converter QBC is designed especially for regulating the DC interface between various micro sources and dc-ac inverter to electricity grid. Quadratic b...

This paper describes a new usage of the dc/dc converter developed by D. I. Sheppard and B. E. Taylor in 1983 for achieving high power factor and output regulation. This converter may be viewed as a cascade of a modified boost stage and a buck stage, with the two stages sharing the same active switch. Two possible operation regimes are described. In the first regime, the converter’s input part, ...

This study was to report the long-term outcomes and toxicities of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). From 2009 to 2010, 869 non-metastatic NPC patients treated with IMRT were retrospectively enrolled. With a median follow-up of 54.3 months, the 5-year estimated local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), regional recurrence-free survival (RRFS),...

This application note describes a 150W rating design guideline for LED street lighting. The application design consists of CRM PFC and LLC SRC with high power factor and high power conversion efficiency using FL7930B and FAN7621S. To verify the validity of the application board and scheme, a demonstration board 150W (103V/1.46A) AC-DC converter was implemented and its results are presented in t...

A single-stage LED driver based on interleaved buck-boost circuit and LLC resonant converter is proposed. The buck-boost circuit and LLC resonant converter are integrated by sharing switches, which can decrease the system cost and improve system efficiency. The input voltage of the buck-boost circuit is half of the rectified voltage, and two buckboost circuits are formed with the two half-bridg...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new family of zero-voltage switching (ZVS) pulse-width modulation (PWM) active-clamping dc-to-dc boost converters. This technique presents ZVS commutation without additional voltage stress and a significant increase in the circulating reactive energy throughout the converters. So, the efficiency and the power density become advantages when compared to...
