Abstract
Traditional DC-DC converter topologies interface two power terminals: a source and a load. The construction of diverse and flexible power management and distribution (PMAD) systems with such topologies is governed by a tight compromise between converter count, efficiency, and control complexity. The broader impact of the current research activity is the development of enhanced power converter systems suitable for a wide range of applications. Potential users of this technology include the designers of portable and stand-alone systems such as laptops, hand-held electronics, and communication repeater stations. High power topology options support the evolution of clean power technologies such as hybrid-electric vehicles (HEV’s) and solar vehicles. DC-DC converter is considered as an advanced environmental issue since it is a greenhouse emission eliminator. By utilizing the advancement of these renewable energy sources, we minimize the use of fossil fuel. Thus, we will have a cleaner and pollution free environment. In this paper, a three-port DC-DC converter is designed and discussed. The converter was built and tested at the energy research laboratory at Taibah University, Al Madinah, KSA.
Highlights
The integrated power electronic converters are important for systems that are capable of harvesting power from solar sources, fuel cells and mechanical vibrations used in applications such as communication repeater stations, sensor networks, hybrid electric vehicles and laptops [1]-[10]
The mode transition and control structure for both operational modes are tested through a 200 W prototype
A nonlinear simulation was carried out and the study shows that the converter is experiencing chaotic behavior because of some changes in the input voltage Vin
Summary
The integrated power electronic converters are important for systems that are capable of harvesting power from solar sources, fuel cells and mechanical vibrations used in applications such as communication repeater stations, sensor networks, hybrid electric vehicles and laptops [1]-[10]. This assures that power goes through one conversion stage when traveling between any two terminals, allowing for higher efficiency. Where: D is the duty cycle of each phase leg; φ is the phase shift between the two phase leg waveforms This topology operates as boost-derived push-pull converter when supplying energy from the bidirectional terminal to the load. This topology is an attractive alternative for low voltage storage devices since it saves. There are many control loops named as follows, 1) Input voltage regulation (IVR), 2) Output voltage regulation (OVR), 3) Battery voltage regulation (BVR), and 4) Battery current regulation (BCR)
