The converter is a single-phase, single-stage boost-push–pull model. It consists of three key components: an interleaved boost, a push–pull, and a resonant tank circuit. The interleaved boost operates in DCM mode and serves as power factor correction. The push–pull converter includes a resonant tank on the secondary side of the transformer to achieve ZVS. The two switches control the boost and the push–pull circuits to create a single-stage converter. The converter in question provides an array of advantages, such as zero voltage switching (ZVS), an intermediate bus voltage that is independent of the load, and a low-ripple input current, all of which can be achieved without the need for additional filtering. The present article provides a comprehensive overview of the design procedure, simulation and experimental results, and separate operating modes analysis. To verify the design and simulation results, a 200-W interleaved boost push–pull converter (IBPPC) prototype is implemented.

Meteorological data are characterized by changeable, rapid change, and high dimensions. Therefore, it is a challenging task to accurately grasp the law of weather data. This article presents a random weather simulation model based on gate recurrent unit (GRU) and generative adversarial networks (GAN). GRU selectively learns or forgets what was in the previous moment during training; it can learn the previous and current data of the time series data. When combined with the GAN, it will produce data with the same distribution as the original weather data.

Furthermore, a VSI-based SAPF faces challenges to maintain consistent voltage across DC-link capacitor, exactly compensating current generation, and switching loss reduction in inverter. This study examined efficacy of two inverter-based SAPFs considering a modified synchronous reference frame approach for generating reference current; fuzzy logic controller for regulating DC-link voltage; and adaptive fuzzy hysteresis current controller for generating switching pulses. Ideal and non-ideal sources were considered when running the simulations for various load circumstances.

Traditionally, this goal is achieved with the estimation of PV power curve or PI-based multiple-loop feedback control, where flexibility, availability and accuracy are not satisfactory. Therefore, a CC/VC-based power tracking (CVPT) method is proposed, which only uses single-loop in control.

As a result, the voltage gains as well as the voltage stresses in both directions can be flexibly improved through three degrees of freedom, which are the turns ratios of the CIs, transformer and duty cycle.
