A soft-switching solution implemented to the traditional bidirectional DC/DC converter is developed. The soft-switching cell, which composed of three auxiliary switches, one resonant capacitor and one resonant inductor, is equipped in the traditional bidirectional DC/DC converter to realize circuit ZCT or ZVT operations in both energy transmission directions. Two driving methods are presented to charging...
Cooperative containment problem is presented in this paper for discrete-time multi-agent systems with different dynamics subject to structural uncertainties.

This paper proposes the improved topology and control strategy of three-phase cascaded bridgeless rectifier (CBR) suitable to serve as the rectifier stage for a medium/high voltage multilevel converter. Compared with traditional H-bridge based multilevel rectifiers, the proposed topology adopts much fewer fully-controlled devices, which greatly reduces the control complexity, thus increasing the system...
The parameters of the resistance model are obtained through various experiments under different lamp power in this study. Polynomial fitting curves are obtained for these parameters to get the values under some certain lamp power.

Splitting incident is treated...
This paper presents a case study of different control approaches for a single phase Dual Active Bridge (DAB) based MVDC Shipboard power system (SPS). The Line Regulating Converters (LRCs) are based on DAB topology and the load side converters or Point of Load Converters (POLs) are based on buck topology. The tightly controlled POLs exhibit a constant power load (CPL) behaviour, which has a destabilising...

The bipolar converter configuration is based on the combination of SEPIC and CUK converter with the modifications in both the converters. In the proposed bipolar converter, the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the transfer floating capacitor is increased by inserting a series resistance in the both SEPIC and CUK...
A control strategy to manage the circulating current content in a Modular Multilevel Converter in direct AC-AC topology is proposed in this article. The converter is connected in three-phase YDY configuration which forms a closed delta path for free current circulation while keeping outsider waveforms with low THD content. Circulating current correction becomes necessary face to any kind of unbalance...
Fault detection is a necessary requirement to exploit one of the most important multiphase drives advantages: the enhanced fault tolerance without additional hardware. Among open-circuit faults, those in power switches of voltage source converters (VSCs) are the most common ones. Nevertheless, in other cases a poor connection or incipient faults may cause an imbalance in the value of the stator resistances...

Dc analysis is performed and the static characteristics are derived revealing that the static conversion ratio exhibits a high voltage boost, the converter still operating at reasonable duty cycles. Compared to a classical Boost, the static conversion ratio at the same duty cycle D is (1+nD) time higher, where n is the transformer...

Active neutral point clamped (ANPC) converter was developed in order to improve the performances of the neutral point clamped (NPC) converter in terms of the semiconductor loss distribution. Loss distribution depends primarily on modulation type used for generation of the switching signals, therefore it is important to find the appropriate modulation type that will allow the most uniform loss distribution...
