Power Converters and EMS for Fuel Cells CCHP Applications: A Structural and Extended Review
Fuel Cells (FCs) and Combined Cooling, Heating and Power (CCHP) systems are becoming very popular due to their environmental friendliness and immense applications. This extended review paper commenced by introducing the rampant South Africa’s electricity crisis as the basis for the study, followed by some structural analyses of up to forty-four miscellaneous power electronics converters…
Read More Robust Adaptive Feedforward Sliding Mode Current Controller for Fast-Scale Dynamics of Switching Multicellular Power Converter
Higher efficiency and lower losses are widely considered as the best metrics to optimize, in a high-power converter performance context. To provide a solution to the ever-increase of high switching frequencies challenges, we must explore soft-switching technologies to resolve interface issues and reduce the switching losses. This manuscript describes a comparative analysis between the fixed-bandwidth…
Read More Stability Analysis of a DC Microgrid with Constant Power Load
DC Microgrids (DCMGs) aggregate and integrate various distribution generation (DG) units through the use of power electronic converters (PECs) that are present on both the source side and the load side of the DCMGs. Tightly regulated PECs at the load side behave as constant power loads (CPLs) and may promote instability in the entire DCMG.…
Read More Particle Swarm Optimization, Genetic Algorithm and Grey Wolf Optimizer Algorithms Performance Comparative for a DC-DC Boost Converter PID Controller
Power converters are electronic devices widely applied in industry, and in recent years, for renewable energy electronic systems, they can regulate voltage levels and actuate as interfaces, however, to do so, is needed a controller. Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) are applied to power converters comparing output voltage versus a reference voltage to reduce and anticipate error. Using…
Read More Simulation of Pulse Width Modulation DC-DC Converters Through Symbolic Analysis Techniques
The problem of Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) DC-DC converter simulation is faced in this paper. It is shown how the analysis of this kind of circuits, nonlinear and switching for their nature, can be easily and quickly executed by using symbolic analysis techniques. The paper also presents the program SapWinPE, which performs an automatic symbolic…
