In the present day, owing to the increasing number of electronic loads such as computer power supplies, Compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) and the increasing number of sources such as solar photovoltaics, fuel cells (DC ...

Renewable energy sources normally require power converters to convert their energy into standardized regulated ac output. The motivation for this thesis is to design and control power converters for renewable energy ...

High frequency link power converters for DC – 3Φ AC applications are investigated. Low cost, reduced size, galvanic isolation and efficient large boosting of voltage level are the key motivations behind the selection of ...

It is customary to obtain ac power from batteries through a power converter, where mains ac power is not readily available. Such a power converter is also needed in several mobile/ airborne/ space applications. Till ...

In the fast growing field of Telecommunications, the back up DC power supply plays a vital role in powering the telecom equipment. This DC power supply is a combination of AC-DC Rectifier coupled with a battery bank to ...

Single-phase distribution is a preferred approach for setting up microgrids or supplying power to rural and remote locations due to its lower infrastructure costs when compared to a three-phase grid. On the other hand, ...

The use of insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT)-based power converters is increasing exponentially. This is due to high performance of these devices in terms of efficiency and switching speed. However, due to the ...
