A single-phase p-type ac–ac converter with reduced components count and high boost factor

This paper proposes a new single-phase direct step-up ac–ac converter by modifying the p-type impedance source. It provides a high boost factor as well as high efficiency, while only six parts are required to design it, involving just two bidirectional power switches. A safe commutation method has been applied to power switches to make the converter snubber-free and high efficient. Input and output harmonic filters are no longer required since input and output currents variate continuously with small ripple and low total harmonic distortion (THD). The proposed topology only modulates the output voltage amplitude, not the phase and frequency, so the output frequency is identical to the input frequency and constant. Thus, it can be utilized in step-up conversion applications, like inductive power transmission from low ac voltage sources. Input and output have the same ground, which is a good protective feature. In this paper, the operating principle of the converter is demonstrated. Experimental results have been represented to evaluate the performance of the converter. For this purpose, an experimental prototype has been fabricated. Results are investigated and compared with other previous step-up ac–ac converters. Results confirm the theory, operating principle, and performance of the converter.     

Non-isolated high step-up dual-input DC-DC converter with zero-voltage transition

In this paper, a non-isolated dual-input DC-DC converter with zero-voltage transition (ZVT) is proposed for renewable energy systems. The proposed converter has high step-up conversion gain without using any transformer or coupled inductors. The proposed structure consists of two boost cells, one diode-capacitor multiplier cell, and one ZVT auxiliary circuit. The main switches turn on and off under zero voltage condition and the auxiliary switch turns on under zero current condition and turns off under zero current and zero voltage conditions. Soft switching conditions, high efficiency, continuous current of input sources, low-voltage stress on switches, and returning the energy of the auxiliary circuit to the boost cell connected to the lower-voltage input are the main advantages of the proposed converter. The steady-state analysis of the converter and operation intervals are discussed. A 160-W prototype of the proposed converter is designed and implemented. Experimental results confirm the theoretical analysis. The efficiency reaches 96.7% at the nominal load by providing soft-switching for all switches. The proposed topology can be extended for multi-input applications by expanding the number of diode-capacitor multiplier and input boost cells.

Soft‐Switching Interleaved PFC Converter with Lossless Snubber

This paper describes a soft‐switching interleaved power factor correction (PFC) converter with a lossless snubber. AC–DC converters require a unity input power factor characteristic with highly efficient operation to prevent the inflow of harmonic current to the power source. The proposed PFC converter improves the input current ripple with interleave control. The converter realizes a high efficiency by the soft‐switching operation of all switching devices without a large auxiliary resonant circuit. This paper introduces the soft‐switching operation of the converter. In order to confirm the validity of the proposed converter, experiments with a prototype of the PFC converter have been performed. The experimental results indicate that the proposed converter can realize the soft‐switching operation of all switching devices, a reduction in the input current ripple, a unity power factor of 98% or more, a sinusoidal input current, and constant output voltage control. The efficiency of the proposed PFC converter with a lossless snubber is higher than that without the lossless snubber. The results presented in this paper confirm the validity of the proposed converter.     

Analysis,design and implementation of a high‐voltage gain DC‐DC converter

An interleaved DC‐DC converter with soft switching technique is presented. There are two converter modules in the adopted circuit to share the load power. Since the interleaved pulse‐width modulation (PWM) is adopted to control two circuit modules, the ripple currents at input and output sides are naturally reduced. Therefore the input and output capacitances can be reduced. In each circuit module, a conventional boost converter and a voltage doubler configuration with a coupled inductor are connected in series at the output side to achieve high step‐up voltage conversion ratio. Active snubber connected in parallel with boost inductor is adopted to limit voltage stress on active switch and to release the energy stored in the leakage and magnetizing inductances. Since asymmetrical PWM is used to control active switches, the leakage inductance and output capacitance of active switches are resonant in the transition interval. Thus, both active switches can be turned on at zero voltage switching. The resonant inductance and output capacitances at the secondary side of transformer are resonant to achieve zero current switching turn‐off for rectifier diodes. Therefore, the reverse recovery losses of fast recovery diodes are reduced. Finally, experiments based on a laboratory prototype rated at 400 W are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A high efficiency input/output magnetically coupled interleaved buck–boost converter with low internal oscillation for fuel-cell applications: Small signal modeling and dynamic analysis

Dynamic behavior of DC–DC converters plays a crucial role in stability of renewable energy exploitation systems. This paper presents small signal modeling of an input/output magnetically coupled interleaved buck–boost converter for fuel-cell applications to help the designers with the better understanding of converter dynamics. Aiming to have a continuous converter transfer function for a smooth transition between the operation modes and an improved inner dynamics, a damping network and an input/output coupling have been added to the interleaved structure of well-known cascaded buck–boost converter. Having the same step-up/step-down voltage transfer ratio, smooth transition and improved inner dynamics make this converter quite suitable for renewable energy applications. The paper presents a small signal ac equivalent circuit model of the proposed converter based on state space averaging (SSA) method. Simulation results show remarkable improvements in converter dynamic behavior in both time and frequency domains. Prototype setup of 360 W and 36 V output voltage for a fuel cell with a brand of “FCgen 1020ACS” Ballard Power Systems, Inc. was implemented. Experimental results are presented to verify the theoretical model and its expected merits.

Multi-input battery-integrated single-stage DC-DC converter for reliable operation of solar photovoltaic-based systems

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are emerging progressively due to their wide compatibility range, ease of installation, and environmental friendliness. The module mismatch (MM) losses and module open circuit (MOC) fault can cause the power mismatch between different PV modules. This significantly affects the energy output from the PV module. Also, the intermittent nature of solar PV power makes the solar PV systems unreliable; to compensate for this, conventional PV systems utilize a battery storage system (BSS) with separate bidirectional converter. These bidirectional converters require two-stage power conversion and massive battery bank connected at the DC link. This leads to the further reduction in overall efficiency. To address these issues, this paper proposed a multi-input PV battery system (MIPBS) that uses nonisolated buck and boost converter combinations. It requires single-stage power conversion to extract maximum power from each PV module along with BSS charging and discharging. Its modular design allows it to function across a wide range of voltage, power, and BSS choices. The proposed system is capable of mitigating the MM loss and sustaining the MOC fault. This paper discusses the operation, steady-state analysis, and dynamic analysis of the proposed MIPBS. The performance of the proposed MIPBS is validated using a state-of-the-art experimental setup with two PV modules, each having a rating of 60.53 W.     

基于有功指令共享的两级式光伏并网系统低电压穿越控制策略

传统低电压穿越控制下,两级式光伏并网系统的前级和后级变换器控制相互独立。因此前级变换器需要根据直流母线电压波动被动地调整其输出功率,动态响应速度较低。针对这一问题,提出了一种基于有功功率指令共享的两级式光伏并网系统低电压穿越控制策略。该策略可以根据网侧电压降落深度动态调整后级变换器的有功功率指令,同时使光伏阵列根据该有功功率指令主动调整输出功率,保持直流母线电压恒定。通过仿真和实验将所提控制策略与现有的低电压穿越控制策略进行对比分析,结果表明：所提控制策略下光伏阵列的输出电压、电流的波动明显减小,且2台变换器输出功率动态响应加快,验证了所提控制策略的有效性。
