Abstract:

The main objective of this article is to propose a rational methodology for designing multi-phase step-down DC-DC converters, which can find applications both in engineering practice and in power electronics education. This study discusses the main types of losses in the multi-phase synchronous buck converter circuit (transistors’ conduction losses, high-side MOSFET’s switching losses, reverse recovery losses in the body diode, dead time losses, output capacitance losses in the MOSFETs, gate charge losses in MOSFETs, conduction losses in the inductor, and losses in the input and output capacitors) and provides analytical dependencies for their calculation. Based on the control examples for applications characterized by low voltage and high output current, the multi-phase buck converter’s output and input current ripples are analyzed and compared analytically and graphically (3D plots). Furthermore, graphical results of the converter efficiency at different numbers of phases (N = 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12) are presented. An analysis of the impact of various parameters on power losses is conducted. Thus, a discussion on assessing the factors influencing the selection of the number of phases in the multi-phase synchronous buck converter is presented. The proposed systematized approach, which offers a fast and accurate method for calculating power losses and overall converter efficiency, reduces the need for extensive preliminary computational procedures and achieves optimized solutions. Simulation results for investigating power losses in 8-phase multi-phase synchronous buck converters are also presented. The relative error between analytical and simulation results does not exceed 4%.

Abstract:

This paper analyses a 3-phase interleaved DC-DC boost converter for the conversion of low input voltage with high input current to higher DC output voltage. The operation of the 3-phase interleaved DC-DC boost converter with multi-parallel of boost converters is controlled by interleaved of switching signals with 120 degrees phase-shifted. Therefore, with this circuit configuraion, high input current is evenly shared among the parallel units and consequently the current stress is reduced on the circuit and semiconductor devices and contributes reduction of overall losses. The simulation and hardware results show that the current stress and the semiconductor conduction losses were reduced approximately 33% and 32%, respectively in the 3-phase interleaved DC-DC boost converter compared to the conventional DC-DC boost converters. Furthermore, the use of interleaving technique with continuous conduction mode on DC-DC boost converters is reducing input current and output voltage ripples to increase reliability and efficiency of boost converters.

Abstract:

In this paper, a new version of the new Hybrid Boost DC-DC ready to draw power from two different DC sources for standard DC-bus feeds is presented. An important feature of the proposed converter is that both sources provide simultaneous power to a lower load than the reduced current rate. This feature is very attractive for DC grid applications. With the analysis of the time zone, steadystate performance is established and the transformational power correction parameters are obtained. In this paper, a powerful converter is introduced, with its operating principles based on charging pumps and converters of reinforcement series. In addition, although three switches are used, no separate gate driver is required instead of one bridge gate driver and one gate driver on the lower side. As such, the proposed converter is easy to analyze and easy to operate. In addition, additional test results are provided to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

Abstract:

Direct current to direct current (DC/DC) converters are required to have higher voltage gains in some applications for electric vehicles, high-voltage level charging systems and fuel cell electric vehicles. Therefore, it is greatly important to carry out research on high voltage gain DC/DC converters. To improve the efficiency of high voltage gain DC/DC converters and solve the problems of output voltage ripple and robustness, this paper proposes a double-boost DC/DC converter. Based on the small-signal model of the proposed converter, a double closed-loop controller with voltage–current feedback and input voltage feedforward is designed. The experimental results show that the maximum efficiency of the proposed converter exceeds 95%, and the output voltage ripple factor is 0.01. Compared with the traditional boost converter and multi-phase interleaved DC/DC converter, the proposed topology has certain advantages in terms of voltage gain, device stress, number of devices, and application of control algorithms.

Abstract:

The step-up converters are widespread use in many applications, including powered vehicles, photovoltaic systems, continuous power supplies, and fuel cell systems. The reliability, quality, maintainability, and reduction in size are the important requirements in the energy conversion process. Interleaving method is one of advisable solution for heavy-performance applications, its harmonious in circuit design by paralleling two or more identical converters. This paper investigates the comparison performance of a two-phase interleaved boost converter with the traditional boost converter. The investigation of validation performance was introduced through steady-state analysis and operation. The operation modes and mathematical analysis are presented. The interleaved boost converter improves low-voltage stress across the switches, low-input current ripple also improving the efficiency compared with a traditional boost converter. To validate the performance in terms of input and output ripple and values, the two converters were tested using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The results supported the mathematical analysis. The cancelation of ripple in input and output voltage is significantly detected. The ripple amplitude is reducing in IBC comparing with a traditional boost converter, and the ripple frequency is doubled. This tends to reduce output filter losses, and size.

Abstract:

The high voltage DC (HVDC) transmission technology of wind power system, with multi-phase permanent magnetic synchronous generator (PMSG) is proposed in this paper. Each set of three-phase winding of the multi-phase PMSG was connected to a diode rectifier. The output of the diode rectifier was connected by several parallel isolated DC–DC converters. Each DC–DC converter was connected to a sub-module (SM). All SMs and two inductors were connected in a series. The proposed wind power system has several advantages including, transformerless operation, low cost, low voltage stress, and high fault tolerance. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and energy balance of the DC–DC converters were achieved by controlling the duty cycles of the DC–DC converters. The HVDC transmission was achieved by the nearest level control (NLC) with voltage sorting. The simulation model with 18-phase PMSG was established.

Abstract:

Multi-output power converters using different architectures can have significant efficiency advantages. This paper proposes a multi-output welding power supply that is based on the middle DC converter distributed architecture. This machine includes two converter groups, and each group comprises a three-phase rectifier unit, a full-bridge converter unit, a HF (high frequency) transformer, a rectifier unit, and a chopper converter unit. Among these units, the three-phase rectifier unit, full-bridge converter unit, HF transformer, and rectifier unit convert three-phase AC voltage into a low voltage, and the chopper converter unit converts the low voltage into the required current. The welding power supply can output four DC and two AC currents. This paper also analyzes the stability of the welding power supply. Finally, a prototype is designed and verified through experiments, and the maximum output of the prototype is 300 A. The experimental results show that the converter can output different DC and AC currents according to the requirement, the multiple outputs are independent of the others, and the output phase and value are independently adjustable. After verification, the proposed multi-output welding power supply can output steady current according to the requirement.

Abstract:

This paper presents wind energy conversion system using CHB MLI and phase interleaved boost converter to overcome high voltage and current ripple. Developments in power electronics technology have a direct impact on advances in wind energy conversion systems. WECS output voltage may fluctuate depending on wind speed. For WECS to maintain a constant output voltage, a power converter is required. This paper explains how to configure a phase-interleaved boost converter and voltage controller to maintain a stable intermediate circuit voltage in the system. The proposed cascading H-bridge multilevel inverter (CHB MLI) converts DC/AC using a novel topology. Separate DC sources are not utilizing the suggested topology. Multi-level inverters are operated by specific harmonic disposal pulse width modulation, or SHE-PWM are utilized. PMSG voltage, CHB-MLI voltage, boost converter voltage and rotor speed have seven different levels of simulated waveforms. Among the many advantages of three-phase alternating DC-DC boost converters, that are high efficiency, fast dynamics and very low current ripple. The output voltage is increased to 400 V using a three-phase interleaving converter, which also maintains a higher efficiency of about 98%. DC-DC power converters have proven to be essential components of many applications and topologies. The interleaving technique is necessary to address the main disadvantages of DC-DC power converters: increased voltage, reduced efficiency, and rippled current. Interleaved boost converters have several advantages, including lower switching losses, lower voltage and current ripple, increased efficiency, and more. To improve the converter's overall functionality, the "n" parallel converter is connected through an interleaved boost converter. This paper presents a performance analysis of a multiphase alternating boost converter to reduce high voltage and current ripple. MATLAB/Simulink is used for analysis and simulation of phase-interleaved boost converters.

Abstract:

This paper presents a multi-input, multi-output power converter system using a single-phase matrix converter (SPMC) circuit topology. In particular, this technology is of vital importance in floating production such as offshore oil and gas platforms where space is crucial, therefore requiring a reduction in equipment size and weight. The proposed circuit topology only employed a single circuit to perform energy conversion of direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC), DC to DC, AC to DC, and AC to AC operations, thus can reduce the power losses resulting in high power density. As a result, it can promise technological advancement and convergence, hence, support the manufacturing sector transition to industry 4.0, and in line with the United Nation’s sustainable development goals. The proposed converter model will be validated in terms of electrical circuit operations through the computer simulation (MATLAB/Simulink) software.

Abstract:

This paper suggests a fast and low-cost method that can be applied in several DC/DC converter topologies for detecting open circuit faults (OCFs) and short circuit faults (SCFs). The suggested method may identify the faults of several power switches even if they occur simultaneously in multi-phase interleaved boost converters (MPh-IBC) by using just the sensors needed to control the converter. This fault detection method (FDM) is based mainly on comparing the measured inductor current and two fault detection thresholds, one for OCFs detection and the other for SCFs detection. This method combined with a corrective strategy to mitigate the negative impacts of OCFs, particularly the significant rise in the ripple of the DC bus voltage and the fuel cell (FC) current, which reduces FC aging and converter reliability. The simulation findings indicate the FDM's excellent performance and speed, as well as its usefulness in detecting defects of many power switches in the converter, with a fault detection time of up to 1.7 µs. The acquired findings further show the excellent effectiveness of the corrective strategy in reducing these ripples in the event of one or two faults.

Abstract:

This paper presents a comparative study between the traditional phase shift (also referred to as the Single-Phase Shift (SPS)) and the Dual-Phase Shift (DPS) controlled Triple Active Bridge (TAB) converter. Being a multi-port DC-DC converter with flexible power flow control and characterized by high power density, the TAB converter is applicable in almost any situation where a DC-DC converter is needed. With the availability of multiple control schemes, this work highlights the advantages and disadvantages of the most employed control scheme used on the TAB converter, in comparison with the DPS control scheme that has so far been applied only on Dual-Active Bridge (DAB) converters. As an example, for a TAB converter with a 14 kW maximum power capacity, the work sees the comparison of the backflow power, the maximum possible current, the processed power at the different ports of the converter, the transformer voltage and current waveforms, and the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Based on the results obtained, we found that the DPS-controlled TAB converter was more efficient when applied to the TAB converter compared to the traditional phase shift control algorithm.

The increasing demand for hybrid energy systems based on renewable energy sources has enabled the new dimension for multi-input converter (MIC). Various topologies have been introduced over the last decade. However, most of these topologies have several drawbacks in terms of design complexity or efficiency. Therefore, this research aims to introduce a multi-input DC-DC converter for hybrid renewable energy applications.

Analysis and simulation have been carried out for the double input two-phase interleaved converter in operating the boost mode. The proposed converter is designed in matlab simulink by using interleaved boost converter method to achieve a boosted and smoothened output. The proposed topology has shown a remarkable performance in terms of output voltage boosting, voltage ripple reduction as well as enhanced efficiency through interleaved boosting technique. From the simulation results, it can be observed that the proposed converter can gain high efficiency which is higher than 97%.

Abstract:

A modular Sigma DC/DC converter with wide input voltage range is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter is combined with a traditional LLC converter and two multi-resonant converters via Sigma architecture. Among them, the traditional LLC converter operates as a DC transformer (DCX) at resonant frequency to achieve maximum efficiency. Meanwhile, one of the multi-resonant converters, the DC to DC (D2D) part of the Sigma structure, is responsible for voltage regulation over a wide input voltage range. In addition, the other multi-resonant converter has two operation modes, including DCX and D2D. When it operates in the DCX mode, the Sigma converter has better performance and higher efficiency. When it operates in the D2D mode, the Sigma converter can handle a wider input voltage range. For each submodule, the operation principle and characteristics of the proposed Sigma converter are analyzed in detail. In addition, some key points of the parameter design for each part are also demonstrated. Finally, an experimental prototype with an input voltage of 540~1100 V is built to verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter.

Abstract:

In this paper, a modular multi-input, single output DC/DC converter is proposed to enhance the energy management of a fast-charging station for electric vehicles (EVs). The proposed bidirectional converter can work in different modes of operation with fewer components and a modular design to extend the input power sources and increase the charging power rate. The converter has several merits compared to the conventional converters, such as centralizing the control, reducing power devices, and reducing power conversion stages. By using MATLAB/Simulink, the converter was tested in many operation modes and was used to charge a Nissan Leaf EV’s battery (350 V, 60 Ah) from hybrid sources simultaneously and individually in power up to (17 kW). In addition, it was tested on a hardware scale at a low power rate (100 W) for the validation of the simulation work and the topology concept. In addition, its different losses and efficiency were calculated during the different operation modes.

Abstract:

The recent growth of battery-powered applications has increased the need for high-efficiency step-up dc-dc converters. The step-up conversion is commonly used in several applications, such as electric vehicle (EV); plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV); photovoltaic (PV) systems; uninterruptible power supplies (UPS); and fuel cell systems. The input current is shared among inductors by paralleling the converters; resulting in high reliability and efficiency. In this paper; a detailed analysis for reducing power loss and improving efficiency is discussed. In continuous conduction mode; the converters are tested with a constant duty cycle of 50%. The multi phase interleaved boost converter (MPIBC) is controlled by interleaved switching techniques; which have the same switching frequency but phases are shifted. The efficiency of the six phase IBC model is 93.82% and 95.74% for an input voltage of 20 V and 200 V, respectively. The presented six phase MPIBC is validated by comparing it with the existing six phase IBC. The result shows that the presented converter is better than the existing converter. The prototype of the two phase and six phase IBC is fabricated to test the performance. It is found that the output power at the load end is highest for the 5 kHz switching frequency.

Abstract:

Interleaved dc-dc converters in sensitive applications necessitate an enhanced reliability. An interleaved converter equipped with redundant components can fulfill the reliability requirements. Mean Time to Failure (MTTF), as a reliability index, can be used to evaluate the expected life span of the mentioned converters. The Markov model is a helpful tool to calculate the MTTF in such systems. Different scientific reports denote different failure rates with different weight for power elements. Also, in reliability reports, failure rates of active and passive components are uncertain values. In order to approximate the failure rates fuzzy-logic-based Markov models are proposed in this paper. Then it is used to evaluate the MTTF of an interleaved multi-phase dc-dc converter, which is equipped with parallel and standby switch configurations. For the first time, fuzzy curves for MTTFs of the converters and 3D reliability function are derived in this paper. The reliability analyses give an insight to find the appropriate redundant-switch configurations for interleaved dc-dc converters under different conditions. Simulation and experimental results are provided to lend credence to the viability of the studied redundant-switch configurations in interleaved dc-dc boost converter.

Abstract:

Dual-active-bridge (DAB) DC–DC converters are of great interest for DC–DC conversion in battery electric vehicle (BEV) powertrain applications. There are two versions of DAB DC–DC converters: single-phase (1p) and three-phase (3p) architectures. Many studies have compared these architectures, selecting the 3p topology as the most efficient. However, there is a gap in the literature when comparing both architectures when single-phase-shift (SPS) modulation is not used to drive the converter. The aim of this study was to compare 1p and 3p DAB DC–DC converters driven by optimal modulation techniques appropriate for BEV powertrain applications. Mathematical loss models were derived for both architectures, and their performances were compared. A case study of a 100 kW converter was considered as an example to visualize the overall efficiency of the converter for each layout. The 1p DAB DC–DC converter architecture outperformed the 3p layout in both its Y–Y and D–D transformer configurations. The higher performance efficiency, lower number of components, and reduced design complexity make the 1p DAB DC–DC converter topology a favorable choice for BEV powertrain applications.

Abstract:

The article considers the problem of the DC motors control that are often used in many electric drive systems. Due to the progress of industrial electronics and technology it has become possible to develop more efficient motor control circuits. The conventional speed control methods commit power losses in the system, which can be minimized by using the power electronics strategy. There is considered the thyristor control of DC motors of the ship electric drive. The DC motor control systems are described and simulation models in the MATLAB Simulink program are presented. The thyristor methods for controlling a DC motor speed are listed: single-phase semi-controlled converter (for motors with power up to 15 kW); single-phase drive with a controlled converter (available to operate in two quadrants); three-phase semi-controlled converter; three-phase controlled converter; single-phase reverse converter realized by connecting two single-phase converters (ensuring multi-mode operation); three-phase reverse converter realized as a single-phase converter. The mechanical characteristic of a DC motor was illustrated when the voltage supplied to the armature winding changed. It has been stated that control of the armature voltage is more favorable for speeds below the rated speed; flow control is preferable for speeds above the nominal speed. It has been inferred that speed control by means of power electronics devices provides large energy savings, in contrast to the traditional speed control methods, since the traditional methods experience significant energy losses.

Abstract The operation of CMS at the HL-LHC requires an upgrade of the readout electronics. These new modern micro-electronics require power at precise voltages between 1.2 V and 2.5 V. We will deliver this power using a 3-stage system, comprising AC-DC conversion to 380 V DC followed by radiation-tolerant 12 V DC-DC power converters feeding radiation-hard point-of-load DC-DC converter. We have studied an industrial 380 V AC-DC conversion system, featuring hot-swappable 3 kW power modules, stackable up to ∼1 MW system. Such systems are candidates for the first conversion step, feeding custom power supplies accepting 400 V DC input voltage. Our tests on one of the commercially available systems purchased from Eltek demonstrated that the system complied with our requirements, most notably in terms of maintainability, availability and power quality. A few measurement plots perceived by authors as particularly interesting are discussed in this contribution.

Abstract:

The proposed paper is an new approach for power conditioning of a PV (photo-voltaic) cell array. The main objective is to investigate an approach to provide and improve the delivered electric energy by means of power conditioning structures with the use of alternative renewable resources (ARRs) for remote rural residential or industrial non-linear loads. This approach employs a series-combined connected boost and buck boost DC-DC converter for power conditioning of the dc voltage provided by a photo-voltaic array. The input voltage to the combined converters is 100 V provided from two series connected PV cells, which is converted and increased to 200 V at the dc output voltage. Series-combined connected boost and buck-boost DC-DC converters operate alternatively. This helps to reduce the input ripple current and provide the required 400 Vdc on a sinusoidal PWM three-phase inverter. Analysis of the two series-combined DC-DC converters is presented along with simulation results. Simulations of the series-combined DC-DC converters are presented with an output DC voltage of 200 V and a maximum output load of Po = 600 W.

Abstract The main advantages of multiphase interleaved DC-DC converters over single-phase converters are reduced current stress and reduced output current ripple. Nevertheless, inductor current ripple cannot be reduced only by an interleaving method. The integrated magnetic structure can be used to solve this problem. In this paper, the application of 2-phase coupled inductor designed in a convenient way by using commercially manufactured coil formers and ferrite cores is analysed to develop a 4-phase interleaved DC-DC converter. The steady state phase and output current ripple in a boost mode of the interleaved bidirectional DC-DC converter with integrated magnetics are analysed.

Abstract:

A novel dual-input DC-DC boost converter that can perform the integration of harvested energy from solar and vibrational input energy sources is proposed. Firstly, the background of a hybrid energy system that relates to multi-input DC-DC converters is discussed, and the limitations of the current designs of power converter ICs are highlighted. A detailed design analysis of the proposed converter was done to justify its performance. A current and voltage stress analysis has been performed to ensure suitable switching devices are selected for the converter. Two different power control strategies are proposed for the DIDCB converter to manage output voltage during source and load-side disturbances. Performance analysis of the circuit is carried out using MATLAB Simulink software. Different duty ratios for power switches in the converter were tested to determine the maximum boost ratio and the highest efficiency that can be achieved by the converter. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed converter, the performance of the converter is compared with existing converter topologies. The proposed converter achieved a high efficiency of 99.4%, had less fluctuation in the output voltage, and had reduced overshoot. In addition, the proposed converter demonstrated a simpler configuration and required fewer component counts, which helped reduce the cost and size of the system.

Abstract:

DC-DC converters are used in various electrical devices including the traction system of electric vehicles. Electric vehicles use synchronous motors with permanent magnets as drives. Their distinctive feature is the nonlinear dependence of the electromagnetic torque of the motor on its input voltage. One of the ways to improve the energy characteristics of an electric vehicle is to include a DC-DC converter in the engine power supply circuit. The study has examined the main types of DC-DC converters, studied their advantages and disadvantages; a method has been determined to increase the energy efficiency of an electric vehicle by using a multi-channel DC-DC converter as part of its power circuit. This structure makes it possible to reduce the requirements for individual power switches and converter elements, and is also optimal from the point of view of weight and size indicators, since converters of this type do not have a transformer. Based on the review, a multichannel DC-DC converter circuit has been selected for integration into the traction electric drive system. The Tesla Model S has been chosen as the base vehicle. Based on the calculated dynamic characteristics of the electric vehicle, main parameters of the DC-DC converter have been determined, computer simulation of the power plant of an electric vehicle with a DC-DC converter has been carried out in the Matlab Simulink software environment. The use of the converter improves the energy efficiency of vehicles, and is also a better solution compared to installing a battery with a higher voltage.

Abstract:

Multiphase (more than three) power system has gained popularity due to their inherent advantages when compared to three-phase counterpart. Multiphase power supply is extensively used in AC/DC multi-pulse converters, especially supply with multiple of three-phases. AC/DC converter with multi-pulse input is a popular solution to reduce the ripple in the DC output. Single-phase and three-phase transformers and phase transformation from single to multiphase are employed in variable speed drives application to feed the multi-cell H-Bridge converters and multi-pulse AC-DC converters. Six-phase system is extensively discussed in the literature for numerous applications ranging from variable speed drives to multiphase wind energy generation system. This paper shows the systematic phase transformation technique from three-phase to six-phase (both symmetrical and asymmetrical) for both understanding and teaching purposes. Such an approach could help students understand a promising advanced concept in their undergraduate courses. When phase difference between the two consecutive phases of six phases has a phase difference of 60, it is called a symmetrical six-phase system; while an asymmetrical or quasi, six-phase has two set of three-phase with a phase shift of 30 between the two sets. Simulation and experimental results are also presented.

Abstract:

The dual-active-bridge converter (DAB) has attracted tremendous attention in recent years. However, its EMI issues, especially the high-frequency oscillation (HFO) induced by the dv/dt and parasitic elements of the transformer, are significant challenges. The multi-active-bridge converter (MAB) based on the multi-winding transformer also faces similar problems, which are even more complicated. This article investigates the HFO of active-bridge-transformer-based DC/DC converters including DAB and MAB. Firstly, the general HFO model is studied using the analysis of the AC equivalent circuit considering the asymmetrical parameters. Ignoring the AC resistance in the circuit, the high-order model of the voltage oscillation could be reduced to a second-order system. Based on the simplified model, the oscillation voltage generated by an active bridge is analyzed in the time domain. Then, a universal active voltage-oscillation-suppression method-selected harmonic-elimination phase-shift (SHE PS) modulation method is proposed. The impacts of the system parameters on the method are also revealed. The experimental results show the excellent performance of the proposed active suppression method, with voltage spike amplitude (VSA) reductions of 92.1% and 77.8% for the DAB and MAB prototypes, respectively.

Abstract:

In this paper, to achieve versatile, cost-effective charging for dual-motor EVs, a multi-functional integrated onboard charger is constructed using a dual-motor driving system. In the driving mode, a five-phase flux-switching permanent-magnet (FSPM) motor powers the front, while a three-phase FSPM motor drives the rear. While in the charging mode, different topologies are adopted for different application scenarios, such as the single-phase AC charging mode, the three-phase AC charging mode, and the DC charging mode. The five-phase FSPM motor and its inverters serve as a boost-based AC/DC converter in both single-phase and three-phase AC charging modes, transforming grid power to DC. In the DC charging mode, they are reconfigured to function as a buck converter. During the three-phase AC charging mode, the three-phase FSPM motor and its inverters take on the role of a rear-stage buck converter. They function to regulate the rectified DC voltage, ensuring it meets battery charging needs. The performance of the integrated charger is validated through simulation and experiment results.

Abstract:

This paper investigates the influence of a constant carrier phase shift on the DC-link capacitor harmonic current of cascaded converters used in fuel-cell and mild-hybrid electric vehicles. In these applications, a DC-DC converter can be adopted between the battery and the motor drive inverter in a cascaded structure, where the two converters share the same DC-link. Since the DC-link capacitor of such a system represents a critical component, the optimization of the converter operation to limit the current stress and extend the lifetime of the capacitor is an primary objective. This paper proposes the use of a carrier phase shift between the modulations of the two converters in order to minimize the harmonic current of the DC-link capacitor. By harmonic analysis, an optimal carrier phase shift can be derived depending on the converter configuration. Analytical results are presented and validated by hardware-in-the-loop experiments. The findings show that the pulse width modulation carrier phase shift between the interleaved boost converter and the voltage source motor drive inverter has a significant influence on the DC-link capacitor current and thus on its lifetime. A case study with two-cell and three-cell interleaved boost converters shows a possible DC-link capacitor lifetime extension of up to 390%.

Abstract:

As miniaturized mobile devices with various functionalities are highly desired, the current requirement for loading blocks is gradually increasing. Accordingly, the efficiency of the power converter that supports the current to the loading bocks is a critical specification to prolong the battery time. Unfortunately, when using a small inductor for the miniaturization of mobile devices, the efficiency of the power converter is limited due to a large parasitic DC resistance (RDCR) of the inductor. To achieve high power efficiency, this paper proposes an energy transfer media (ETM) that can make a switched inductor capacitor (SIC) converter easier to design, maintaining the advantages of both a conventional switched capacitor (SC) converter and a switched inductive (SI) converter. This paper shows various examples of SIC converters as buck, boost, and buck-boost topologies by simply cascading the ETM with conventional non-isolated converter topologies without requiring a sophisticated controller. The topologies with the ETM offer a major advantage compared to the conventional topologies by reducing the inductor current, resulting in low conduction loss dissipated at RDCR. Additionally, the proposed topologies have a secondary benefit of a small output voltage ripple owing to the continuous current delivered to the load. Extensions to a multi-phase converter and single-inductor multiple-output converter are also discussed. Furthermore, a detailed theoretical analysis of the total conduction loss and the inductor current reduction is presented. Finally, the proposed topologies were simulated in PSIM, and the simulation results are discussed and compared with conventional non-isolated converter topologies.

Abstract:

The main requirement for autonomous power supply systems is improved weight-size and energy parameters. A promising way to solve this problem is to use DC-DC converters based on resonant structures with switched capacitors. Improvement of energy indicators of the converter is achieved due to soft-switching mode of semiconductor elements providing reduction of dynamic power losses and increasing the level of the primary source. Improvement of weight-size parameters of the converter is provided due to the following: multi-cycle principle of the design providing a significant increase of frequency conversion up to several hundred kHz due to multiple reduction of installed capacity of semiconductor elements; high specific energy indicators of modern multilayer ceramic capacitors, more than two orders of magnitude higher than similar indicators of reactors and transformers; optimization of parameters of semiconductor and reactive elements, which also contributes to significant reduction of weight and volume of power supply systems. The authors have conducted the analysis of weight-size parameters of the step-up DC-DC converter and the value of its efficiency under the assumption of proportionality of weight and volume of reactive converter elements to the maximum accumulated energy and proportionality of weight and volume of semiconductor elements to their installed capacity. The authors have proposed and studied the circuit of multipolar DC-DC converter based on structures with switched capacitors, which has the space symmetry. The space symmetry provides a significant improvement of weight-size parameters due to two-fold reduction of the total installed capacity of semiconductor elements. The volume and energy indicators of the converter under study as a part of power supply system have been evaluated. A method to design a power circuit of a capacitor converter with improved energy and weight-size parameters as a part of an autonomous power supply system is proposed. The authors have established the most effective ways to improve the weight-size and energy indicators of DC voltage converters. The improvement of weight-size parameters is achieved due to a twofold reduction of the installed capacity of semiconductor elements and optimization of the parameters of reactive elements. Improvement of energy indicators is achieved due to increasing the input voltage level of the converter and soft switching of its semiconductor elements.

DC–DC power converters have generated much interest, as they can be used in a wide range of applications. In micro-inverter applications, flyback topologies are a relevant research topic due to their efficiency and simplicity. On the other hand, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are one of the fastest growing and most promising renewable energy sources in the world. A power electronic converter (either DC/DC or DC/AC) is needed to interface the PV array with the load/grid. In this paper, a modified interleaved-type step-up DC–DC flyback converter is presented for a PV application. The topology is based on a multi-winding flyback converter with N parallel connected inputs and a single output. Each input is supplied by an independent PV module, and a maximum power point tracking algorithm is implemented in each module to maximize solar energy harvesting. A single flyback transformer is used, and it manages only 1/N of the converter rated power, reducing the size of the magnetic core compared to other similar topologies. The design of the magnetic core is also presented in this work. Moreover, the proposed converter includes active snubber networks to increase the efficiency, consisting of a capacitor connected in series with a power switch, to protect the main switches from damaging dv/dt when returning part of the commutation energy back to the source. In this work, the operating principle of the topology is fully described on a mathematical basis, and an efficiency analysis is also included. The converter is simulated and experimentally validated with a 1 kW prototype considering three PV panels. The experimental results are in agreement with the simulations, verifying the feasibility of the proposal.

Abstract:

This paper presents the design of an Interleaved DC/DC Boost Converter for the implementation of an Electric Scooter. The output of the power converter can be controlled using the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switching technique to boost 12V battery supply to power a 24V Brushed DC Motor with improved efficiency compared to conventional converters. The design of the power converter was calculated for different number of interleaving phases. The simulation is carried out using MATLAB/Simulink for 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8-phases interleaved converters to compare their performances. The 4-phase is selected due to its advantage and further implemented in the prototype. PWM output switching frequency is set to 25 kHz with 4 signals of 90° phase shift to each other. The testing on a complete prototype was carried out.
