With the increasing pressure on modern power converters towards higher efficiency and smaller volume, power electronic specialists are now even more obliged to power converter optimization. In this study, the optimal design of an 800W, hard switched step down converter is targeted. Switching frequency (f) and inductance (L) are selected as parameters for optimization. Interleaving, a technique widely utilized due to the benefits it introduces to the converter that it is applied to, is also taken into consideration; phase number (N) is an optimization parameter for the analysis to utilize interleaving with the optimal phase number. A laboratory prototype of the targeted 800W converter is implemented in view of the efficiency and volume analyses. Comparison of analytical and practical results is provided.

Increasing renewable energy integration to grid requires inertial support to improve frequency stability of the power system. Inertial support of renewable energy systems requires hardware verification in order to test practical limitations and absence of dynamical grid simulators makes verification studies more challenging. In this study, a test rig which is composed of a DC motor, an AC synchronous generator and an external flywheel, is developed in order to provide a platform in which dynamic properties ...
Design and Performance Analysis of a Grid Connected PWM-VSI System
Kantar, Emre; Usluer, S. Nadir; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2013-11-30)
Pulse-width modulation (PWM) voltage source inverters (VSIs) are favorable interface devices to the power grid for renewable energy systems. This paper deals with the design of the LCL-filter and inverter for the grid-connected VSI. A complete design procedure for both reactive and passive components of LCL-filter is demonstrated with a new iterative approach in selection of the filter inductors. The design process for a two-level VSI is clearly illustrated through an example and the dynamic response is inv...
Design of a Centralized Microgrid Controller in Compliance with IEEE 2030.7 Standard
Pouraltafi-Kheljan, Soheil; Göl, Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-9-10)
With the incorporation of renewable distributed energy resources and electric vehicles and battery storage systems into the conventional grid structure, the need for a microgrid and its control is emerging. IEEE 2030.7 Standard defines the Microgrid control system as a key element of microgrid regulating every aspect of it at the point-of-interconnection (POI) with the distribution system and autonomously manages operations such as transitions of operating modes. This system consists of control functions, w...
Modeling and Control of Interleaved Multiple-Input Power Converter for Fuel Cell Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Hegazy, Omar; Van Mierlo, Joeri; Lataire, Philippe (2011-09-10)
Interleaving techniques are widely used to reduce input/output ripples, to increase the efficiency and to increase the power capacity of the DC/DC converters. This paper proposes an interleaved multiple-input power converter (IMIPC) that interfaces the fuel cell and energy storage systems (e.g. Batteries or/and Supercapacitors) to the powertrain of the hybrid electric vehicles. The IMIPC is responsible for the power-flow management on-board vehicle for each operating mode. In this research, the IMIPC is pro...
Design and implementation of a single slope adc for digital output cooled infrared readout integrated circuits
Akyürek, Fatih; Bayram, Barış; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016)
Readout Integrated Circuits (ROIC) have been commonly implemented with analog video output buffers throughout history. Image signals are converted into digital by an external ADC card, which is placed outside the Dewar. Although analog output method is easier to implement, it is susceptible to the environmental noise due to the non-differential output. Moreover, the ADC proximity card placed outside of the dewar contributes to the system complexity. This thesis presents the design of a single slope ADC dedi...
