in this paper, a two-surfaces sliding mode controller (tssmc) is proposed for the voltage tracking control of a two input dc-dc converter in application of electric vehicles (evs). the imperialist competitive algorithm (ica) is used for tuning tssmc parameters. the proposed controller significantly improves the transient response and disturbance rejection of the two input converters while prese...

This article presents a two-mode controlled step-up inverter (TMCSI), which is capable of handling single or dual inputs with wide range dc input voltage. In comparison to traditional multistage dc/dc power conversion systems, the stage reduced and voltage/current stress device significantly alleviated without using high-voltage dc-bus capacitors. As result, reliability overall efficiency are i...

A new multiple-input hybrid energy conversion topology is presented. The proposed topology is capable of combining different energy sources with different voltagecurrent characteristics, while achieving low part number and bi-directional operational. The Multiple-input converters have many applications such as grid connected integrated hybrid generation systems, fuel cells, micro grid-based tel...

This paper proposes a multi-stage power generation system suitable for renewable energy sources, which is composed of a DC-DC power converter and a three-phase inverter. The DC-DC power converter is a boost converter to convert the output voltage of the DC source into two voltage sources. The DC-DC converter has two switches operates like a continuous conduction mode. The input current of DC-DC...

In this paper, a two-surfaces sliding mode controller (TSSMC) is proposed for the voltage tracking control of a two input DC-DC converter in application of electric vehicles (EVs). The imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) is used for tuning TSSMC parameters. The proposed controller significantly improves the transient response and disturbance rejection of the two input converters while p...
