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 critical subject. Various types of bidirectional DC/DC converter topologies and control methods are implemented for this purpose. In this study, a bidirectional DC/DC converter topology and a modulation method are selected, developed and implemented for the power train of a double battery suited car. The effect of new generation GaN devices on the efficiency of the converter is also covered. With the results of this study, it is seen that the selected topology is suitable for bidirectional power flow and the power density can be increased throughout whole load range with a software based control method and selecting proper switching device.

Investigation of the Effects of Switching Technique on the Performance of Four Switch Buck-Boost Bidirectional DC/DC Converters Kocak, Ibrahim; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (2019-01-01) 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...
Modeling and Simulation of a Boost DC/AC Inverter fed Induction Motor Drive SÜRGEVİL, TOLGA (2011-09-10) Single-stage three-phase boost dc/ac inverters can provide sinusoidal ac output voltages which arc greater than input dc voltage without needing an intermediate dc voltage boost stage. Such a topology is cost-effective due to reduced switch count and it is suitable for compact design These unique features of this type of inverter makes it a suitable choice in many applications such as uninterruptible power supplies, variable speed ac drives, and some distributed power generation schemes. This paper aims to ...
Investigation of subsynchronous resonance risk in the 380 kv Turkish electric network Ozay, N.; Güven, Ali Nezih (null; 1988-12-01) Subsynchronous resonance (SSR) occurs when a resonant frequency of a series compensated transmission system interacts with a natural frequency of the turbine prime mover. This form of SSR is referred to as torsional interaction which, under certain conditions, may become self-excited and cause serious damage to electrical equipment and turbine shafts. The presence of a thermal power plant (Kangal) in the close vicinity of a group of series capacitors in Eastern Turkey necessitated a careful investigation of...
Evaluation of Grid-Connected PV Converter Power Module Technologies in Terms of Efficiency, Initial Cost, and Return on Investment Time Oztoprak, Oguzhan; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2019-01-01) The voltage source converter (VSC) of the grid connected photovoltaic (PV) systems is the most technological component in a PV system and contributes to 5-15% of the whole investment. As the cost and energy efficiency of a VSC are two factors that determine the total system economics, the system total cost of ownership (TCO) should be optimized during the VSC design. This paper provides a design methodology for grid connected VSCs considering TCO, the return on investment (ROI) and payback period (PP) as th...
Analysis and Characterization of DC Bus Ripple Current of Two-Level Inverters Using The Equivalent Centered Harmonic Approach Ayhan, Ufuk; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2011-09-22) The dc bus PWM ripple current of three-phase two-level voltage source inverters is a function of the PWM method, the load current magnitude, power factor angle, and the modulation index. Thus, the ripple current characteristics are highly involved and difficult to understand. Using the double Fourier integral approach, this paper investigates the ripple current characteristics thoroughly for a wide range of operating conditions and PWM methods. Then, the equivalent harmonic approach is used to lump the ripp...
