Abstract

This work presents an innovative approach to improving efficiency and performance in photovoltaic (PV) systems through the development of a soft-switching high-gain Re Boost Luo converter. This converter integrates advanced soft-switching techniques to minimize switching losses, thereby enhancing overall system efficiency, which is crucial for applications requiring substantial voltage amplification from PV sources. The Re Boost Luo converter, with its inherent high-gain capability, facilitates superior voltage conversion ratios, enabling optimal energy extraction from PV panels across varying environmental conditions. The presented converter's design focuses on reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and alleviating stress on switching components, thereby extending their operational lifespan and reliability. Detailed modeling and performance analysis were carried out using the MATLAB/Simulink simulation environment, which allowed for comprehensive evaluation of the converter's functionality. Simulation results confirm that the converter achieves significant improvements in voltage gain, energy conversion efficiency, and system reliability, effectively addressing common challenges associated with high-voltage PV applications. This study underscores the converter's potential to advance renewable energy technologies by providing a robust solution for high-efficiency energy conversion in PV systems.

Abstract

The advantages of multilevel inverters (MLIs) have led to their increased use in high- and medium-voltage power applications. These inverters reduce harmonic content, common-mode voltage, dv/dt stress on switches, and electromagnetic interference, among other things. In recent decades, drives for permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) that rely on inverters have become increasingly popular in both commercial and residential settings due to their great performance. Phase disposition (PD), phase opposition disposition (POD), and alternate phase opposition disposition (APOD) are three multi-carrier pulse width modulation (MCPWM) approaches that were simulated in this work to explore a 5-level DCMLI-fed PMSM. In order to create control pulses, each method compares reference signals with carrier signals that are either triangular or trapezoidal. Detailed comparisons with conventional three-level voltage source inverters (VSIs) are made based on the results. A 63.21 percent improvement in the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the output voltage and a 26.52% improvement in the THD of the stator current are both supported by experimental evidence.
