Resonant Converters have wide applications as they can produce a high voltage. Also these converters can reduce the switching losses by operating at Zero Current Switching and Zero voltage switching states. Series Resonant Converter can be used for low output current and Parallel Resonant converter can be used for high output current applications. Series Parallel Hybrid Resonant converters combines the advantages of both. This paper presents a review on LLC Resonant Converters

Development and Simulation of Stand Alone Photovoltaic Model Using Matlab/Simulink

We present in this paper a study on the thermal behavior of a square micro coil that will be integrated in a DC-DC micro converter. The first, we calculate the value of inductance. The second, we descript our micro coil; dimensioning, electrical model, and formula of loss. A buck micro converter schematic simulation coupled with ideal and integrated micro coil was presented. This conceptual model of the buck is best understood in terms of the relation between current and voltage of the inductor. Finely, we determinate a mathematical expression giving the evolution of temperatures in an integrated micro coil using the separation of variables method and a visualization of the thermal behavior is determined in 2D and 3D space dimension using the finite element method.

Thermal Behavior of an Integrated Square Spiral Micro Coil

Steady state analysis is fundamental to give the first observation in circuit design. Buck converter driven by switching has complexity that the circuit topology changes as switching. In this paper a steady state analysis of buck converter is proposed which allows the exact calculation of steady state response. Proposed method uses Fourier series and a recovery function to express steady state output. It calculates infinite series of Fourier series by replacing with recovery function. Comparison between the proposed method and numerical simulation shows that the analysis gives consistent result with steady state of simulation including the non-linear ripple. Our method copes with more complex calculation problems such as average power and root-mean-square power which are most crucial issues in power electronics.

Photovoltaic solar systems with Panel Integrated Converters (PICs) that are connected in series and parallel are getting more attention for the ability to produce high output voltage while performing Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) function for every single solar panels. Conventionally, MPPT controller and Boost Converter is utilized for each solar panel or channel in this in series and parallel connection architecture, which results in cost increase. This paper presents a single MPPT controller for two solar panels in any series or parallel connection architecture. It is suited when the load is fix voltage or is resistive. The proposed controller is investigated based on boost type PICs. Experimental results under transient and steady state conditions and are presented to verify the performance of the proposed work.

Performance Analysis of Different PV Topologies with MPPT

In this paper, novel small-signal averaged models for dc–dc converter operating at variable switching frequency are derived. This is achieved by separately considering the on-time and the off-time of the switching period. The derivation is shown in detail for a synchronous buck converter. The Enhanced Small Signal (ESSA) Model is derived for the synchronous buck converter. The equivalent series inductance (ESL) is also considered in this modelling. The buck converter model is also simulated in MATLAB and the result is also presented. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijpeds.v5i2.6472
