In general, a DC/DC converter provides energy transfer from a source to a load in one direction. Today, bidirectional power transfer is needed in many applications that include battery based energy storage. Serving a compact solution for this problem is crucial in order to reduce the total size of the system where the physical size is a critical subject. Various types of bidirectional DC/DC converters are implemented for this purpose in literature. Highlighting the reasons, one of them is selected, proposed and simulated for a special double battery suited system which has a rated power of 1 kW. In order to compare efficiency performance of the switching strategy design for this topology; proposed in [12], with conventioal one throughout the whole operating points, simulations are realized at various operating conditions. Since proposed method is a software based solution, there will be no need for extra circuit components. With the results of this study, it is seen that the selected topology and applied modulation technique are suitable for bidirectional power flow and the power density can be increased with a software-only solution for this kind of applications.

Investigation of the effects of switching technique and gan device on the performance of bidirectional buck-boost DC/DC converter Koçak, İbrahim; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In general, a DC/DC converter provides energy transfer from a source to a load in one direction. However, today, bidirectional power transfer is needed for most of the system that includes battery based energy storage, such as solar or wind power plant, uninterruptible power supplies, automotive industry, smart grid applications, telecommunication and space technology. Serving a compact solution for this need is crucial in order to reduce the total size of the system especially where the physical size is a ...
Comparison of Current Balancing Configurations for Primary Parallel Isolated Boost Converter Seri, Gokhan; Dehghan, S. M.; Thomsen, Ole C.; Andersen, Michael A. E.; Moller, Lars (2011-09-10) Different current balancing configurations have been investigated for Primary Parallel Isolated Boost Converter (PPIBC). It has been shown that parallel branch current balancing is possible with several configurations of coupled/uncoupled inductors. Analytical expressions for branch currents have been derived for different cases of gate signal mismatch causing current imbalance. It has been observed that turn-on and turn-off delays in parallel power stages of the PPIBC have different effects in the branch c...
Investigation of multilevel inverters for d-statcom applications Deniz, Mustafa; Ermiş, Muammer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) The most important advantages of Multilevel Inverters are the absence of a coupling transformer for medium voltage applications and low harmonic current content. In this way, relocatable and economical STATCOM systems can be realized. Complex control algorithms and the isolation problems of measurement devices and power supplies are the main challenging parts of this type of application. In this study, the design, realization, and the performance of a Voltage Source Type Cascaded Multilevel Converter Based ...
Waveform Quality Comparison of Scalar PWM Methods for Modular Multilevel Converters Ciftci, Baris; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2013-11-30) Modular Multilevel Converter (M2C) is the preferential topology used for high power applications in the recent years. Its high quality of output waveforms and high efficiency make it a powerful alternative to conventional two level converters. This paper gives an output waveform quality comparison of scalar PWM methods, used for M2C switching. It is found that output voltage characteristics are highly dependent on the PWM method used. Therefore, selection of the switching method is an important design issue...
Investigation of inertial support limits in wind turbines and the effects on the power system stability Duymaz, Erencan; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) In this study, the inertial support implementation is studied for variable speed wind turbines with a full-scale power electronics. To increase the active power as desired, Machine Side Converter is modified with an additional control loop. In the first part of the thesis, active power of the wind turbine is increased to the limits and the maximum achievable active power is found out to be restricted by the wind speed. It is found that the wind turbine can increase its output power by 40% of rated power in ...
