In power electronic conversion, interleaving technique, which can be considered as a special form of paralleling, is a widely utilized method due to the size and performance benefits it introduces. This thesis first compares interleaving to other forms of paralleling techniques and investigates the interleaving technique from both electrical (output voltage ripple, line current distortion, efficiency etc.) and physical (converter size, cost etc.) characteristics points of view. After the detailed description of interleaving, the subject of optimal converter design is stressed: by a careful selection of design parameters such as switching frequency (f), inductance (L) and phase number (N) optimum design points can be found. By means of a MATLAB code which calculates and reports converter efficiency, volume and cost for various f-L-N values, optimum design points targeting maximum efficiency, minimum volume, and maximum figure of merit which corresponds to smaller volume and higher efficiency together, are suggested for a 1-kW buck converter. For the physical demonstration of the benefits introduced by interleaving and to test the results of f-L-N based converter optimization, a 1-kW digitally controlled hard switched multi-phase buck converter is designed and implemented. Along the theoretical analyses and computer simulations, detailed laboratory tests are carried out and correlation of analysis, simulation, and implementation results are provided.

Design and implementation of variable frequency sine wave output buck-boost inverter Şener, Yunus; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) Conventional inverters have pulse-width-modulated output with a fundamental component at the desired frequency and magnitude. These converters are usually buck type and therefore the DC link voltage limits the maximum 3-phase output voltage magnitude. As a consequence, in motor drive applications field weakening is essential after a certain frequency of operation, as it becomes impossible to preserve the rated flux level. In renewable energy applications similar problems arise. When the DC link voltage fall...
Accurate multimode vibrational calculations using a B-spline basis: theory, tests and application to dioxirane and diazirinone Toffolı, Danıele; Sparta, Manuel; Christiansen, Ove (2011-01-01) The use of B-spline basis sets is explored in the context of a vibrational program for automatic potential energy surface (PES) construction and multimode anharmonic vibrational wave function calculation. Results are compared with calculations using localized Gaussians and harmonic oscillator basis functions. Potential energy surfaces are constructed in an iterative fashion using a recently developed adaptive density-guided approach. The basis set requirements for an accurate representation of the vibration...
Design and implementation of an unregulated DC-DC transformer module using LLC resonant converter Alemdar, Öztürk Şahin; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) A traditional high-power front-end DC-DC converter can be replaced with an array of paralleled standardized converter modules when modular design is applied. Modular front-end DC-DC converters represent many desirable properties such as expandability of output power capacity, redundancy implementation, simplified thermal management, and reduced design cost. However, in order to benefit from modular design, load current sharing must be accomplished among the paralleled modules. In this thesis, an LLC resonan...
Design of a radiation hardened PWM controller built on SOI Kılıç, Emrecan; Külah, Haluk; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018) Design of efficient and compact switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) is a popular topic in power electronics. Silicon has been used as semiconductor material of switches in DCDC converters for decades. However, preference of using GaN as semiconductor material of switches in these topologies has recently increased due to their superior properties. GaN FETs have lower gate capacitance, lower channel resistance, higher frequency operation, higher breakdown voltage and higher temperature operation than silicon MO...
Active clamped ZVS forward converter with soft-switched synchronous rectifier for maximum efficiency operation Acik, A; Cadirci, I (1998-05-22) An active-clamped, zero-voltage switched forward converter equipped with a soft-switched synchronous rectifier is designed and implemented for some low output voltage applications where maximized efficiency is of utmost importance. The converter efficiency is maximized due to soft-switching of the main, active clamp and the synchronous rectifier MOSFET switches. Experimental results are presented for a converter with a de input voltage of 48V, an output voltage of 5V and a de electronic load up to 10A. The ...
