In photovoltaic (PV) systems, module level power electronics has focused a lot of attention in the last years. The microinverter, also known as AC module, has shown to be an interesting solution. For this purpose, PV microinverter architectures with pseudo DC-link consisting in a DC-DC converter followed by an unfolding inverter have been analyzed as good alternatives. This paper proposes a new push-pull...
This paper proposes an interleaved partial power converter (PPC) for the DC-DC conversion stage of electric vehicles (EVs) fast charging stations. The proposed converter topology is based on the H-bridge DC-DC converter. PPC allows the converter to process only a fraction of the total power, the rest being bypassed and directly supplied to the load. This increases the converter efficiency, as only...
This work proposes the sub-module integration of flyback converters with an unique unfolding H-bridge inverter, for photovoltaic (PV) microinverter application. An dedicated control strategy is also proposed. This sub-module integration proposed to remove the existing junction box of the PV module and replace the three by-pass diodes with three individual DC-DC converters connected to a single-phase...
The boost inverter is an attractive solution for photovoltaic (PV) microinverters since it is a single stage architecture. Indeed, in comparison, most of the microinverters topologies consist of two-stage structures, a DC-DC converter for voltage elevation and an inverter for grid connection, resulting in a lower efficiency. The boost inverter consists of two DC-DC boost converters connected in differential...
This paper proposes sub-module integration of a photovoltaic (PV) microinverter. It is proposed to remove the existing junction box and replace the by-pass diodes with individual DC-DC converters connected to a single-phase inverter. Particular attention is given to systems operating under long-term non-uniform conditions, such as snow or dust accumulation. A comparison with a classical two-stage...
In the recent years growing interest has been given to photovoltaic (PV) microinverters. Sub-modular optimization of PV panels where the junction-box of the panel is removed and each sub-modules is connected to an individual DC-DC converter realizing independent MPPT is one promising solution especially for systems subject to partial shading. In this paper, individual flyback DC-DC converters are...
This article presents some applications for our mathematical model of lithium-ion battery. This model is based on Newman?s works, and includes migration and diffusion of species and charges in electrodes and electrolyte, electric double layer capacitance, and solid-electrolyte interface layer. Using electrical analogies of transport phenomena, it is directly implemented in standard simulation software...
This paper develops a robust tool for the treatment of AC side stability problems occurring in interconnecting PWM voltage source converter with passive LCL filter. An LCL filter can reduce the harmonics introduced by PWM switching frequency and guarantee low currents THD using small component values comparing to the L filter solution. Nevertheless, the additional poles introduced by the LC part induce...
In this paper, we present a new current sharing technique on a general case of N paralleled DC-DC boost converters. The proposed optimization is based on the knowledge of individual boosts parameters. Every losses through the structure are modelled by equivalent resistors. Using an accurate online estimation of those resistors, we can determine the losses through each individual converter. Then, we...
The fact that photovoltaic panels are very sensitive to non-uniform insolation conditions, which can occur several times a day, causes a decrease of efficiency and so increases time for return on investment. This work presents a maximum power point tracking algorithm (MPPT) operating on the load characteristic in order to take the converters losses into account. In addition, the proposed MPPT deals...
