Hence renewable energy has now come into existence because of pollution free, economical features etc. In order to make use of the power from these renewable sources efficiently, designing of single stage power converter is inevitable. Therefore this paper proposes a novel three port, bidirectional, non-isolated dc-dc converter based on ZETA topology. Featuring the advantages of zeta such as increased or decreased output voltage, very low output voltage ripple, the zeta-zeta topology has been implemented in this paper. The proposed converter has two inputs and a single output which makes it suitable in hybridizing the various energy resources. The operating modes and steady state analysis of the converter are discussed in detail. The small signal analysis of the proposed converter is investigated to design the converter. The topology thus generated is simulated in MATLAB platform to verify the analytical results. A laboratory prototype model is developed which verifies the feasibility of the designed converter.","PeriodicalId":287863,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122285154","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 authors have proposed the node voltage control and line loss suppression methods using Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC). This paper presents the comparison of the arrangement and capacity of UPFC for the distribution system control. The proper arrangement for reducing the converter capacity is derived.

The renewable energy should be optimized by the energy management in the renewable energy system. The digital peak current mode control dc-dc converter is presented to realize the stable operation in this system considering the variation of the input voltage condition in this paper. The stability of the power supply system is kept by the peak current mode control when the integral gain is set to a large value to keep a wide regulation range. The waveform of the output voltage changes from an oscillatory response to a gentle one in comparison between the conventional voltage mode control and the proposed method because the stability is improved. As a result, the proposed method has an advantage under changing the input voltage condition such as the renewable energy system.","PeriodicalId":287863,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Renewable Energy Research and Applications (ICRERA)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126460705","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}

This study compares the two topologies based on their power density and efficiency. Silicon Carbide (SiC) switches are used for designing the rectifiers to get better power density and efficiency. The close proximity of the rectifier to the residential area requires electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the rectifier with established standards such as IEC 61000-3-4 and FCC B.
