The control strategies allow the inverter bridge to operate as a boost-type switch without corrupting the three-phase PWM voltages at the drive output terminals. The maximum permissible voltage gain associated with the inverter boost action is shown to be dependent upon the amplitude modulation depth and the type of modulation scheme being used.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":358822,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Power Electronics Specialist Conference - PESC '93","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116250391","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}

An isolated secondary can be derived by applying the tank voltage to an isolation transformer whose magnetizing inductance acts as the resonance inductor of the tank circuit. A DC output voltage is obtained after rectification and filtering of the sinusoidal secondary voltage and regulation is achieved by controlling the duty-cycle of the pulse train. The sinusoidal nature of the voltage across the isolation transformer alleviates some of the noise problems associated with parasitic capacitances of an isolation transformer when operated with square voltage waveforms. The DC and small-signal analysis of the power converter is given and an equivalent small-signal circuit model is derived. Experimental results which confirm the validity of the model are presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":358822,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Power Electronics Specialist Conference - PESC '93","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124597263","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}

To improve price, volume, weight, reliability, and performance, the trend has been set to rely mainly on semiconductors while removing unnecessary passive components.

Such a power converter is currently under development, implementing a feedforward output current controller as tracking algorithm.

Thus the output filter only consists of the combination of a storage battery and its cabling. The resulting power converter is suitable for integration into standard PV panels during manufacturing. The efficiency of the MPPT is 96% for a range of output powers at a low battery voltage of 12.5 V and a component cost of US$21.00.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":358822,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE Power Electronics Specialist Conference - PESC '93","volume":"133 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128729387","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}
