The HE-PWM waveform presents many challenges. It has multiple solutions that not only need to be found as easily and as fast as possible, but must also be evaluated in order to identify the best technique when overall harmonic performance is concerned. Algorithms presented so far rely on starting values that are close to the exact solutions to ensure convergence. A new method based on resultant theory promises limited success since it can only work when a small number of harmonics is to be eliminated. In this paper, it is shown that a minimization technique in combination with a random search results in a relatively simple approach that finds all possible sets of solutions. It is confirmed that numerous independent sets of solutions exist and the ones that offer better harmonic performance are identified. Three cases are reported in detail, including when two, four and six nontriplen odd harmonics are to be eliminated.","PeriodicalId":100635,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Electronics Letters","volume":"2 2","pages":"41-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/LPEL.2004.831157","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49984295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similar results requiring smaller magnetic components are obtained by combining magnetic coupling with damping of the output filter. The analysis is based on the application of the Routh-Hurtwitz's criterion to the numerator of the transfer function in order to derive the design conditions for the converter parameters. A design example illustrates the procedure, and experimental results verify the theoretical predictions. The application of these techniques will allow the design of high efficiency voltage boost-based regulators with dynamic behavior similar to buck-derived structures.","PeriodicalId":100635,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Electronics Letters","volume":"2 2","pages":"58-62"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/LPEL.2004.834615","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49984299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead of using an explicit perturbation source, the tracker controller is designed to make the overall system self-oscillate, so that the duty cycle of the main switch in the power conversion stage (PCS) is inherently modulated with a small-amplitude variation at a predefined frequency around the required steady-state value. The tracking mechanism is based on comparing the ac component (due to the variation of the duty cycle) and the average value of the input voltage of the PCS to determine the quiescent duty cycle. The proposed technique does not approximate the panel characteristics and can globally locate the MPP under wide insolation conditions. The tracking capability has been verified experimentally with a 10-W PV panel in a controlled setup. Performances at the steady state and during the large-signal change of the insolation level have been studied.","PeriodicalId":100635,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Electronics Letters","volume":"2 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/LPEL.2004.828443","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50304318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
