FPGA is a digital platform that operates at frequency levels up to GHz. Thus, it can be an interesting solution to driving GaN devices that operate on typical frequencies of 1 to 10 MHz. A brief review on the FPGA platform and the description of the implementation of Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) signals at frequencies up to 2 MHz are presented. Experimental results have shown that it is possible to obtain a duty cycle in the range from 1 to 99% with a resolution of 0.67%. Additionally, concerning the PWM period, the phase can be defined in the range from 1 to 360 degrees with a resolution of 2.4 degrees. Finally, some power applications that benefits by using GaN devices at high frequencies are shown.","PeriodicalId":375493,"journal":{"name":"2017 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122129284","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}

For this purpose, a high-current COB LED is used while driven by the aforementioned single-stage non-isolated topologies. The drivers are supposed to present essential features when dealing with outdoor floodlighting e.g. high power factor and low harmonic distortion of the input current. Besides, simulation tests are performed using real intrinsic parasitic parameters of commercially available semiconductors.

Most maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms are based on turbine torque and velocity signal feedback as well as detailed knowledge of turbine model parameters. This paper proposes the implementation of a wind energy conversion system whose power extraction algorithm does not use mechanical sensors, wind measurement or predefined values that define the turbine operating point. The algorithm is the Perturbation and Observation (P&O) method, which is applied at a Single Ended Primary Inductance Converter. The choice of the SEPIC is justified due to input current characteristics and high-power processing capacity. The step-up / step-down topology is essential for retain the output voltage at specified values. A state-feedback closed-loop control with integral action using LMIs is implemented on the converting operation within a specified region. The simulation results show the performance of the presented technique.","PeriodicalId":375493,"journal":{"name":"2017 Brazilian Power Electronics Conference (COBEP)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128501325","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}

A novel filtering strategy, based on signal reconstruction, is introduced in order to overcome the bandwidth limitation of the current controller.
