The flyback transformer is a crucial part of the flyback converter, which has the highest portion of total power losses for most applications. Accurately prediction of the power losses due to flyback transformer early in the design stage provides an advantage about revealing reliable prototypes. In this paper, several loss prediction methods are applied for a 40W universal input and single output DCM flyback transformer as; analytical calculations via well-known Steinmetz and Dowell's formulas, a simulation including numerical solutions, and a finite element analysis (FEA) based investigation. It is shown that the comprehensiveness of the methods accounting for hysteresis losses, eddy current losses, DC bias, and fringing effect based losses determine the accuracy of the results. In the paper, it is shown that the more the comprehensiveness, the closer the results to the values of electrical and thermal measurements. The power loss results obtained from theory and measurements with five different methods are compared and discussed in the detail.

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 ...
Optimizing transient and filtering performance of a C-type 2nd harmonic power filter by the use of solid-state switches Gerçek, Cem Özgür; Ertaş, Arif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this research work, the performance of a C-type, 2nd harmonic power filter is optimized by the use of a thyristor switched damping resistor. In the design of conventional C-type, 2nd harmonic filters; the resistance of permanently connected damping resistor is to be optimized for minimization of voltage stresses on filter elements arising from switchings in transient state and for maximization of filtering effectiveness in the steady-state. Transformer inrush current during energization of power transfor...
A Proposal for Improving Efficiency of Inverter Driven Electrical Motors Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (2011-07-28) Conventional inverter output has PWM output. This pulsed output waveform reduces insulation life time, contributes to quick degradation of the bearings and also is often source of acoustic noise. Furthermore, losses of PWM inverter-driven motors increase. In this paper a novel topology is proposed which is capable of generating a sinusoidal waveform, with low harmonic distortion. If the proposed method is used for driving motors, motor efficiency increases due to reduced losses and lifetime of the motor may...
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 ...
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...
