A novel quadratic buck-boost DC/DC converter is presented in this study. The proposed converter utilizes only one active switch and can step-up/down the input voltage, while the existing single switch quadratic buck/boost converters can only work in step-up or step-down mode. First, the proposed converter is analyzed in steady-state. Then, its performance is validated using simulations in MATLAB/Simulink...
PV modules output performances are affected by change in irradiance, temperature level and partial shading condition. Therefore, it is necessary to improve output power of PV module to achieve maximum power. This paper presents MATLAB based Simulink model in which flyback converter is used as MPPT converter. The advantage of having this scheme is that switching losses are less as flyback converter...
Basically, the output voltage in renewable energy sources is improved using the boost converter, which is the key part in a photovoltaic chain. In this converter, the switching frequency is limited; hence the output voltage is reduced. To overcome this problem, two topologies are proposed; the quadratic boost converter results by combining the components of two boost converters by using single switch...
The loss contribution of a 2.3 kW synchronous GaN-HEMT boost converter for an input voltage of 250 V and an output voltage of 500 V was analyzed. A simulation model which consists of two parts is introduced. First, a physics-based model is used to determine the switching losses. Then, a system simulation is applied to calculate the losses of the specific elements. This approach allows a fast and accurate...
This paper investigates the switching performance of six-pack SiC MOSFET and Si IGBT modules for motor drive applications. Both the modules have same packaging and voltage rating (1.2 kV). The three bridge legs of the modules are paralleled forming a single half-bridge configuration for achieving higher output power. Turn-on and turn-off switching energy losses are measured using a standard double...
IEEE 802.3az standard (EEE), is the energy-aware alternative to legacy Ethernet. To save energy by extending the sojourn in the Low Power Idle state of EEE, packet coalescing has been proposed. While coalescing improves by far the energy efficiency of EEE, it is still far from achieving energy consumption proportional to traffic. Moreover, coalescing can introduce high delays. In this work, we use...

Carrier based PWM method based...
Standard Voltage Source Inverters (VSI) operates with a DC voltage source greater than the peak voltage of the AC source and Current Source Inverters (CSI) with a DC voltage source lower than the peak voltage of the AC source. This paper shows how several topologies of reversible AC/DC buck-boost inverters which do not suffer from such constraints can be compared on the basis of semiconductor and...
At present, there are two typical electromotive drive train system (EDTS) configurations on the market. On the one hand, there are high voltage systems for conventional cars with system voltages in the range of 400 V – 800 V. In industrial truck and fork lifter applications, there are low voltage solutions with a system voltage of 80 V. A main question at this topic is: “Which system battery voltage...
The elimination of transformer in solar inverter has reduced the size, weight and losses in the photovoltaic (PV) systems. But, the galvanic connection between PV module and the grid generates leakage current through the parasitic capacitance. This paper presents a new high efficient transformerless SepCuk inverter topology using a common grounding between the grid and PV module to meet the requirements...
In this paper, the optimisation possibilities of a quasi-resonant induction cooker are investigated. Simulations show that main losses of the induction cooker occur in the heating coil and the RC-IGBT (power switch). The performance of the coil can be improved mainly by minimising the coil resistance. The IGBT-optimisation is based on the reduction of tail current in soft switching mode. The tail...

On the basis of the Z-source inverter topology, the proposed inverter inherits the features of high voltage boost ability and circuit simplicity. A quasi-resonant network with only one auxiliary switch is employed to achieve the soft-switching scheme. All switches in the inverter bridge are turned on and off under zero-voltage...

New energy generation systems, such as photovoltaic cells or fuel cells are increasing in application on distribution networks. These power sources require an inverter to connect to an AC network. There is the possibility that sub-network containing inverter power sources will be disconnected from the utility system to become isolated networks.
