In this thesis, the conventional pulse-width modulated (PWM) and zero-voltage switching (ZVS) quasi-resonant buck converters are analyzed and a variable-frequency control technique is proposed to regulate the output voltage due to the immediate input line and load changes. The quasi-resonant technique provides favorable switching conditions for active switch to reduce switching losses and electromagnetic interference (EMI). The method is based on shaping the voltage across the active switch in quasisinusoidal fashion and the switching action occurs with nearly zero voltage across the active switch. This requires only two additional components to the conventional PWM buck converter. The proposed quasi-resonant converter is capable of operating in megahertz range with a significant improvement in performance and power density. Detailed analytic and small-signal models of the ZVS quasi-resonant buck converter are established and the switching behavior is investigated in order to provide nearly zerovoltage turn-on. The performance of the ZVS quasi-resonant technique is verified with the computer simulations. The results are compared with the experiments in the laboratory involving both the open-loop and closed-loop operations. The detailed experiment procedure is added to use this converter for educational purposes.

Design of a single-phase full-bridge diode rectifier power factor corrector educational test system Ünal, Teoman; Üçtuğ, Yıldırım; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In this thesis an educational test bench for studying the power quality attributes of the commonly used single-phase full-bridge diode rectifiers with power factor correction (PFC) circuits is designed and tested. This thesis covers the active and passive power factor correction methods for single-phase bridge rectifier. Passive filtering approach with dc side inductor and tuned filter along with active filtering approach via singleswitch boost converter is considered. Analysis, simulation, and design of a ...
Design and implementation of a voltage source converter based statcom for reactive power compensation and harmonic filtering Çetin, Alper; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this thesis, design and implementation of a distribution-type, voltage source converter (VSC) based static synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM) having the simplest converter and coupling transformer topologies have been carried out. The VSC STATCOM is composed of a +/- 750 kVAr full-bridge VSC employing selective harmonic elimination technique, a low-pass input filter, and a /Y connected coupling transformer for connection to medium voltage bus. The power stage of VSC based STATCOM is composed of water-co...
Design of a Re-configurable dual frequency microstrip antenna with integrated RF MEMS switches Onat, Sinon; Ünlü, Mehmet; Alatan, Lale; Demir, Şimşek; Akın, Tayfun (2005-07-08) The complete design of a re-configurable dual frequency antenna structure, including its integrated RF MEMS switches and their actuation lines together with a CPW feed, is introduced. The number of switches used in the inset is decreased compared to the hybrid design we presented previously (Onat, S. et al., IEEE Int. Antennas and Propag. Symp., vol.2, p.1812-15, 2004). Instead of utilizing available RF MEMS switches, new switches suitable for this application are designed. Two different switch configuratio...
Design, Implementation and Operation of a New C-type 2nd Harmonic Filter for Electric Arc and Ladle Furnaces Gercek, Cem Ozgur; Ermiş, Muammer; Ertas, Arif; Kose, Kemal Nadir; Unsar, Ozgur (2010-10-07) In this research work, the transient overvoltage suppression capability and harmonic filtering performance of C-type 2nd harmonic filters are optimized by using two-stage damping resistors; one is permanently connected to the filter circuit, while the other one is switched on by back-to-back connected thyristors during furnace transformer and Harmonic Filter (HF) energization periods. However in conventional C-type 2nd HFs there is only one damping resistor, which is permanently connected to the filter circ...
Design of Grid Connected PWM Converters Considering Topology and PWM Methods for Low-Voltage Renewable Energy Applications Kantar, Emre; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2014-05-21) This paper assesses the feasibility three-phase PWM three-level voltage source converters (VSCs), namely NPC-type VSC (3L-NPC) and T-type VSC (3L-T) as alternatives to standard three-phase PWM two-level VSC (2L-VSC) for low-voltage grid interface applications, The topological performances are compared through a design algorithm regarding varying switching frequency, load condition, modulation index, and converter side inductance under distinct pulse-width modulation methods, Design of the LCL filter is also...
