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 currents deviating from ideal. It has also been observed that in some configurations inductance differences due to core tolerances play an important role in current imbalance. Analytical and simulation results have shown that another side effect of the gate signal delay and inductor value difference is additional voltage stress over the switches during the mismatch times. Advantages of each configuration in terms of effective current balancing, efficiency and manufacturing simplicity have been highlighted. Simulations with ideal components for each case have been carried out to confirm the analytical derivations. Experimental results have also been included to show the performances of different configurations where component non-idealities like transformer leakage inductances also become effective.

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...
Active clamped ZVS forward converter with soft-switched synchronous rectifier for high efficiency, low output voltage applications Acik, A; Cadirci, I (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2003-03-01) The analysis, design, and implementation of an active clamped ZVS forward converter equipped with a soft-switched synchronous rectifier (ACFC-SR), proposed for high-efficiency low output voltage DC-DC converter applications, is presented. The converter efficiency is maximised due to soft switching of the main, active clamp, synchronous rectifier, and freewheeling MOSFET switches. The operating principles of the ACFC-SR are analysed in detail, and the converter performance is compared with that of alternativ...
Unity power factor boost converter with phase shifted parallel IGBT operation for medium power applications Cadirci, I; Yafavi, A; Ermiş, Muammer (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2002-05-01) Phase-shifted parallel (PSP) operation of IGBTs is proposed for unity pf boost converters, to increase both the converter power rating and operating frequency. This technique allows unity pf operation of medium power AC and DC motor drives, and switch mode power supplies from a single-phase, unregulated AC supply, with minimum line current harmonic distortion. Since operating frequency is increased by integer multiples of IGBT switching frequency, the same core size for the boost inductor can be used to tra...
Parallel active filter design, control, and implementation Özkaya, Hasan; Hava, Ahmet Masum; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) The parallel active filter (PAF) is the modern solution for harmonic current mitigation and reactive power compensation of nonlinear loads. This thesis is dedicated to detailed analysis, design, control, and implementation of a PAF for a 3- phase 3-wire rectifier load. Specifically, the current regulator and switching ripple filter (SRF) are thoroughly investigated. A novel discrete time hysteresis current regulator with multi-rate current sampling and flexible PWM output, DHCR3, is proposed. DHCR3 exhibits...
Performance Enhancement of the Single-Phase Series Active Filter by Employing the Load Voltage Waveform Reconstruction and Line Current Sampling Delay Reduction Methods Senturk, Osman S.; Hava, Ahmet Masum (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-08-01) This paper proposes the waveform reconstruction method (WRM), which is utilized in the single-phase series active filter's (SAF's) control algorithm, in order to extract the load harmonic voltage component of voltage harmonic type single-phase diode rectifier loads. Employing WRM and the line current sampling delay reduction method, a single-phase SAF compensated system provides higher harmonic isolation performance and higher stability margins compared to the system using conventional synchronous-reference...
