In this paper we propose a variable-gain transimpedance amplifier suitable for low-power applications. Its noise, bandwidth and input impedance performance are similar to a more conventional regulated-cascode common-gate transimpedance with resistive load, with the same power consumption and gain performance. The proposed amplifier has, however, variable gain, which can be easily changed by setting...
Power converter is the key element of the photovoltaic generation system. In order to improve the energy conversion efficiency and achieve an economic solution, hybrid cascade inverter (HCI) is employed and implemented to realize DC-AC conversion in this paper. HCI has a similar topology with conventional H-bridge cascade inverter, while the voltages of its DC buses are in a geometric sequence. In...
In this paper, various dynamic slip control topologies are proposed for the control of grid connected opti-slip induction generator (OSIG). An elegant technique based on rotor voltage measurement has also been presented for mitigating output power fluctuations from OSIG, due to sudden wind gusts, tower shadow effect, etc. The control of OSIG is achieved using the basic principle of chopper control...
This paper describes a new configuration of the single-phase seven-level voltage source inverter. The proposed inverter based on modified H-bridge converter. The inverter is built of conventional H-bridge inverter and two bidirectional switches and three bulk capacitor banks. To validate the proposed inverter, a low power prototype inverter has been designed and implemented; analytical, simulation...
This paper proposes a new extended boost quasi Z-source inverter (ZSI) and a simple modulation and control method based on one-cycle control for controlling a grid connected PEM fuel cell energy system. ZSIs are gaining popularity. Similarly one-cycle controllers are becoming popular due to their simplicity, ease of implementation and fast response. However, this control method has not been developed...
In this contribution a new balanced biphase modulator topology is presented. The new biphase modulator allows the reduction of the resulting chip area occupation by using 3 couplers only, in contrast with traditional reflection-type balanced biphase modulators with 4 couplers, and exhibiting comparable performances. A 45-65 GHz test vehicle adopting the proposed topology has been designed and realised...
In this paper, two control strategies for three-phase series-parallel uninterruptible power supplies are compared. A series-parallel UPS consists of a parallel and a series converter. In this topology, most power required by load is supplied directly from AC line during standby mode. Therefore the overall efficiency is higher than that of a conventional UPS. Traditionally, the control strategy of...
This paper proposes a novel bidirectional AC-AC converter based on the Z-source concept. This converter can provide bidirectional power flow. It has symmetrical circuit structure, and can reduce in-rush and harmonic current, provide larger range of output AC voltage and improve reliability. Simulation results verify the validity of the proposed converter.
This paper proposes an input-paralleled output-paralleled half-bridge converter based on single half-bridge converter, which is very suitable for the low output voltage and large output current application. All modules share a common capacitor-leg, that can reduce the number of main circuitpsilas capacitors and make topology simple. The traits and rules of combination converter are introduced and...
PWM current source inverters (CSI's) are usually operated with a fixed pattern and fed from a thyristor rectifier controlled current source. Transient response of the output current is slow and input power factor is low. This paper proposes a symmetrical PWM CSI topology with a two loop control structure. A voltage regulated current source inverter ensures instantaneous output voltage control through...
