This article is going to describe the design and implementation of a non-inverting buck-boost converter for lithium-ion battery chargers. The described modulation strategy allows to achieve a high efficiency and high power density converter. The prototype is made up of off-the-shelf components and the elaborated current predictive control algorithm avoids the use of a current sensor. Only voltage...
In this manuscript a new interleaved topology based on the three-port boost converter is presented. A new modulation scheme that works for the interleaved and non-interleaved 3-port boost converters is proposed as well. Models for interleaved and non-interleaved converters that describe the behavior in any of the different working modes are developed. These models can be easily averaged in order to...
In this paper, ZVT interleaved bidirectional LDC(IB-LDC) with switching frequency modulation for mild-hybrid electric vehicle is proposed. The IB-LDC is composed of interleaved buck and boost converters employing an auxiliary inductor and auxiliary capacitors to achieve zero-voltage-transition. Operating principle of IB-LDC according to operation mode is introduced and mathematically analyzed. Moreover,...
Bidirectional power flow, reactive power compensation capability and high efficiency are essential for vehicle to grid (V2G) systems. In this paper, a single-phase/single-stage bidirectional AC/DC converter for V2G application is presented, which consists of a line frequency commutated unfolding bridge and an interleaved buck-boost stage. In addition to sinusoidal input current, bidirectional power...

The proposed work consists of the operation of the proposed converter system under low wind power generation by which the excess of energy extracted from PV System. It can be achieved by changing the modulation indices of the Control Switch Sw1, while the complexity of the entire system is reduced. The Proposed system with...
Multi-port dc-ac and dc-dc converters are of great interest for applications where electricity is generated through a variety of energy sources and where energy storage systems are required. In this paper, a three-port, dc-dc-ac Solid State Transformer (SST) is presented that can control the magnitude and direction of power transfer between a battery, a dc bus and the ac grid. The proposed SST features...
For the power management of a wireless power transfer system for implantable mechanical heart pumps, an additional boost DC-DC converter stage is needed in order to control the power delivered to the implant. Particularly, battery powered and implantable medical devices pose special demands on the efficiency and/or power density of the employed converters. Accordingly, soft-switching and/or high switching...
This paper introduces a novel 5-level three-phase PFC rectifier, appropriate for electric vehicle (EV) onboard battery charging systems, using an approach known as bypass concept. In contrast to the standard approach, where two power stages always work in series (PFC + step-down), such serial operation takes place here only during a brief interval of time. The characteristics of the proposed system,...
In electric vehicles abrupt torque steps and changing driving speeds require alternating currents and voltages. The battery voltage varies depending on the state of charge and on operation points. In order to keep the DC voltage of the Three-Level Inverter constant or conform it to the induced voltage of the electric machine (M) to reduce switching losses a DCDC converter is necessary. An alternative...
Non-isolated single-inductor three-port converters (SI-TPCs) are the cost-effective way to connect the renewable source, energy-stored component and load for those stand-alone applications without isolation requirements. However, the dynamic features of SI-TPCs are complicated due to the multiport, bidirectional energy flowing and a variety of energy management modes. To facilitate the control-loop...
This paper presents a new design for an ultra-fast, public electric vehicle (EV) charging station. Because of the multi-megawatt nature of such a station, the design is aimed at being appropriate for a medium voltage (MV) connection. Through the proper choice of a multi-level topology and staircase modulation, it is able to operate efficiently and provide galvanic isolation without the use of a large...
This paper presents a transistor level design of a novel envelope modulator structure using a high efficiency voltage doubler followed with a buck DC-DC converter for polar modulation. In order to let the output voltage of the buck converter follows the fast changing EDGE (Enhancement Data-rate for GSM Evolution) reference signal, current mode control and 10 MHz switching frequency are implemented,...
This paper presents a novel modulation for a two-stage dc-ac power converter with high-frequency isolation installed in a photovoltaic stand-alone system. The presented modulation, which is designed for the converter discontinuous conduction mode of operation, solves the problem of connection to a grid, and permits a bidirectional power flow. In this document is described the modulation strategy and...
