Abstract

This paper proposes a minimal switching multiple input multilevel output (MS-MIMLO) DC-DC converter. Minimizing the cost of operation is an utmost priority of any electric circuit design. Thus, reduction number of switches that control and manage the operation of feeding power into the MIMLO DC-DC convertors is presented. The proposed MS-MIMLO DC-DC converter exerts many advantages, include high voltage transfer ratio with a small size inductor, reduced power losses and low voltage stress across the semiconductor devices. Beside the highly conversion ratio and efficiency, the characteristics of the proposed converter have a simple configuration with low number of components as well. The MATLAB/Simulink software was implemented to simulate the proposed topology in order to verify the performance of the MS-MIMLO DC-DC converter. The result of simulations demonstrated the benefits of reducing the number of switches without affecting the operation and performance of the MIMLO DC-DC converter circuit.

Abstract

The utilization of multisources of energy in a compact and an effective power system gains an essential role in power electronic industry. As such, the design and simulation of a new non-isolated multiple input multilevel output (MIMLO) DC-DC converter for hybrid power system is presented. The MIMLO DC-DC converter can be integrated in renewable energy, such as fuel cells, wind turbines and photovoltaic arrays etc, to get the best output voltages. The MIMLO DC-DC converter powers the load from renewable energy sources through the independence of the availability of other sources. The proposed topology has been simulated by using MATLAB/Simulink software to testify the performance control operation of the multiple input multilevel output DC-DC converter. The results of the carried-out simulation favor the usage of multi-input voltage, rather than a single input voltage. The MIMLO design has the advantages of a simple configuration, reduced number of switches, fewer components, high efficiency, and high conversion ratio. The multilevel output DC-DC converter provides high voltage transfer with low size inductors, reduction of losses, low stress voltage on switches and diodes.

Abstract

Performance is always need to be considered in designing DC/DC buck converter. Despite the drastic use of DC/DC buck converter in industry, limitations due to unregulated voltage and current still persist. The dynamic performance of three methods of sliding mode control (SMC) were investigated. The comparative assessment of integral sliding mode control (ISMC) method, showed that the ISMC has an outstanding performance over the other tested methods of two variables with conventional SMC. The excellent performance of ISMC, under diverse operating conditions that include varying input voltage and load resistance, is achievable and it can provide a considerable edge over other control techniques in various field of industries, include electrical vehicle. The ISMC is highly preferable to overcome the problem of varying switching frequency, as well as optimizing power on transient response. The performance characteristic of ISMC shows fast dynamic response of various applications. Detailed simulations of the three SMC methods were carried out to validate the control algorithms using MATLAB/Simulink software.
