Abstract

A high gain DC-DC converter is the crucial part in renewable energy systems (RES) and in electric vehicular systems. The reliability of those high-gain converters needs to be assessed for the long-term operation of renewable energy systems. This article presents the reliability analysis of non-isolated high gain interleaved DC-DC converter. The analysis primarily relies on calculating the mean time between failures (MTBF). Based on military handbook (MIL-HDBK-217) criteria, the reliability calculation is performed. Stress factors and predicted failure rate for each component of presented converter is evaluated and tabulated. Reliability evaluation is performed for 1.5 kW hardware prototype. Based on reliability evaluation results, a reliable converter with better operating life time has been introduced.

Abstract

This research investigates on simulation of a traditional cascaded H-bridge (CHB) five-level inverter and proposes a nine-level cascaded H-bridge inverter system. The performance of both five-level and nine-level inverter systems is evaluated by modeling and simulating the open-loop system. According to the simulation results, the nine-level multilevel inverter (MLI) has a lower total harmonic distortion (THD) than the five-level MLI. The work also introduces a boost converter positioned between a photovoltaic power source and the inverter. A nine-level inverter system is utilized to simulate the proposed photovoltaic and battery-based buck-boost converter (BBC). The effectiveness of the proposed inverter is verified through simulation studies under various scenarios. In terms of THD, the comparison of the open-loop systems indicates that the nine-level inverter performs better than the five-level inverter. Additionally, simulations for a battery-based buck-boost converter and photovoltaic system used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed inverter.

Abstract

This study examines the performance of a high-gain quadratic boost converter (QBC) coupled with a self-lift circuit under two control methodologies: sliding mode control (SMC) and fractional-order proportional integral derivative (FOPID) control. The QBC topology is used because it can boost voltage significantly, which is especially useful for renewable energy applications. Simulation studies show that both controllers can control the output voltage of the converter, but the FOPID controller works better in dynamic situations. In particular, it makes settling happen faster, cuts down on overshoot, and lowers steady-state error compared to the SMC method. The overall results show that the FOPID controller is a good choice for improving stability and transient response. This makes it a good choice for advanced high-performance power electronic systems.
