Abstract

Due to high demand for voltage boosting in the field of renewable energy sources, a novel topology of step-up converter with single switch is proposed in this paper. The converter uses single switch with coupled inductors architecture. The proposed topology enables to control the stepping-up gain by adjusting the duty cycle and selecting appropriate turn ratio of the coupled inductors. The two coupled inductors in the circuit can act as a step-up transformer. Moreover, the proposed technique aims to harness the turning off voltage stresses across the switching element and suppress the stress by transferring it to the load. The switching induced voltage was reduced by forwarding the power to charge a capacitor then transfer the power through a diode to the output. Circuit configuration, principles of operation and the gain transfer function of the converter are demonstrated. The proposed circuit is verified by comparing the practical results to the theoretical.

Abstract

This paper investigates the low order harmonics of a simplified approach to generate high quality sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) waveform produced by voltage source inverter (VSI). Programmable interface controllers (PIC) microcontroller was chosen to produce the signals in Real time with voltage feedback to control the puls width during direct current (DC) link voltage reduction. The research considered simplicity, durability, and reliability as conditions. The proposed technique was successfully passed one of the biggest challenges which is time criteria presence due to execution time of the feedback loop and the transient time required for power electronics switches to turn fully off and on, known as dead time. The proposed technique can be considered as practical, high feasibility according to economic point of view and its accuracy to the input variables. The pseudocode, algorithm, and flowchart for closed loop real time voltage control to produce SPWM system using microcontroller was explained, illustrated and verified. The desired objectives were accomplished to achieve system that is able to generate high quality real-time SPWM with closed loop control.
