Different voltage-fed (VF) and current-fed (CF) DAB-derived DC-DC converter topologies are compared with the proposed converter in terms of various design and performance parameters. Simulation results show lower input current ripple and wider ZVS range in the proposed converter compared to the VF DAB converter.

The required signals are digitally filtered on a mi-crocontroller, which is also used for displaying the measured quantities over a dedicated display. The instrument's suitability for estimation of conductivity, by measuring dc-resistances of the sample, is demonstrated experimentally within 5% accuracy.

Wide frequency range operation of machines and converters increasingly requires experimental characterization of the magnetic core material at low as well as high frequencies. Therefore, power amplifiers having wide bandwidth, high voltage and current gains, along with low output offset are needed for characterization. Linear closed-loop multistage amplifiers are often used. Direct coupling of amplifier stages is desirable to characterize the magnetic materials at very low frequencies. The middle stage of such linear multi-stage amplifiers provides the voltage gain. A conventional common-emitter based middle voltage gain stage is reviewed first. A folded cascode amplifier with buffered output is proposed as an alternative. This is capable of direct-coupling with the input (differential), and output (current amplification) stages. The proposed amplifier is shown experimentally to yield a high gain-bandwidth product. Experimental results of the proposed voltage amplifier and the closed loop power amplifier are presented.","PeriodicalId":161541,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"EC-1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126552649","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}

The voltage of a battery is maintained within a predetermined range by virtue of its design, which takes into account fluctuations in the amount of solar irradiation as well as the load. The battery is designed to both store and release power in the event that there is an abundance of either. An interface between the load and the battery is provided by a DC-DC bidirectional converter that uses close loop control as its foundation.

Moreover, an intermediate DC-DC converter is used for optimization of PV array power, so that in spite of change in insolation, the DC link voltage is kept constant. When there is no need for water pumping, or if the power of the PV array exceeds the need of the pump, this system allows farmers to profit financially by feeding excess power to the grid. The system is simulated and modeled in the MATLAB environment. There are four distinct modes of operation recognized based on the availability of power sources and sun radiation.

To enhance the efficiency of the power conversion stages from the medium voltage (MV) utility grid to the low voltage (LV) level in data centres, smart transformer (ST) provides a prominent solution. Thereby, significantly decreasing the number of cascaded power conversion stages, ensuing lesser complexity, high reliability, high power density/efficiency of data centre power supplies. In this paper, a multi-terminal (MT) ST is proposed for data centres, and particularly its uninterrupted power supply (UPS) mode of operation for continuity of power supply is explored. The MTST is an extension of the ST by replacing the dual-active bridge in the isolation stage with a multi-active bridge. This allows the ST to have multiple LVdc ports which are utilized for server loads in the data centres and also to exchange power from renewable sources/energy storage systems. The MTST can also be operated as an UPS at times of power outages. The simulation of the proposed system is done in PSCAD software to verify its operation in UPS mode, ensuring uninterrupted power to the data centres.","PeriodicalId":161541,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115550855","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}
