Basically, a MPPT system consists on a dc-dc converter (hardware) controlled by a tracking algorithm (software) and the combination of both, hardware and software, defines the tracking efficiency. This paper shows that even when the most accurate algorithm is employed, the maximum power point cannot be found, since its imposition as operation point depends on the dc-dc converter static feature and the load-type connected to the system output. For validating the concept, the main dc-dc converters, i.e., Boost, Buck-Boost, Cuk, SEPIC and Zeta are analyzed considering two load-types: resistive voltage regulated dc bus.

This document proposes a novel design methodology applied to SRC operating above resonance frequency providing a technique to observe the switching states which affects the losses. The methodology establishes a link between the State Plane Analysis (SPA) and the converter design and also, defines the thresholds of the operation regions keeping in mind the state plane trajectories.

The recent necessity of a better energy quality encourages the development of new specific custom power equipments directly connected in medium voltage systems. Therefore, several solutions were applied in order to enable the connection of custom power equipments in the medium voltage system, like as step down transformers and series connected semiconductors. However, it is well know that the multilevel converters are perfectly capable to work directly in the medium voltage systems and also presents several advantages when compared with others solutions. Although, some topologies, like the asymmetric cascaded multilevel converter, presents difficulties in regulating all the separated dc-link capacitors. In this context, this article presents a multilevel D-STATCOM with a proposed dc-link regulation control loop for generic cascaded multilevel converters to work directly in the medium voltage systems in order to improve the power quality in industrial installations.
