Conversion DC/DC large plage pour application embarquée dans un environnement ferroviaire / Wide range DC/DC conversion for embedded applications in railway applicationsLarousse, Sébastien 07 December 2016 (has links)
Les convertisseurs électriques sont présents dans tous les équipements électroniques. Les besoins en alimentations stabilisées des appareils et la variabilité des sources d'énergie imposent l'omniprésence des convertisseurs. Dans un environnement embarqué, la conversion, majoritairement DC/DC, subit de multiples contraintes environnementales dues au milieu dans lequel elle évolue, que ce soit dans un aéronef ou un véhicule terrestre. Les équipements ferroviaires doivent ainsi subir des contraintes vibratoires et volumiques fortes imposant à la fois l'absence de pièces mobiles telles que des ventilateurs, ainsi qu'un volume minimal afin de ne pas empiéter sur l'espace utile des cabines de trains.Une contrainte plus spécifique à l'environnement ferroviaire est la très large plage de tension d'alimentation devant être supportée par le convertisseur. Cette plage de tension, s'étendant de 12 V à 154 V, due à la multiplicité des standards électriques de par le monde représente le principal défi à la conception de convertisseurs DC/DC compacts.Dans ce mémoire, les topologies de convertisseurs existantes sont dans un premier temps analysées en fonction des contraintes du cahier des charges. Les deux structures les plus pertinentes sont ensuite étudiées plus profondément, par des simulations comportementales et des modélisations de pertes, afin de confirmer leur pertinence et d'étudier leurs carences.Dans les deux derniers chapitres de ce mémoire, les stratégies de dimensionnement propres à notre application sont décrites. Finalement, les technique de contrôle élaborées spécifiquement pour notre application sont décrites puis testées sur les prototypes des convertisseurs. Les mesures réalisées sur les prototypes ont permis de confirmer l'apport des techniques de contrôle et de dimensionnement décrites précédemment, améliorant significativement les performances des convertisseurs ainsi que l'encombrement de leurs éléments passifs / Electric converters can be found on almost every electronic device. The need for a stabilized power supply and the variability of the power sources make the power converters unavoidable. In embedded applications, the power conversion, mostly DC/DC conversion, must sustain various constraints due to their environment, airborne or in ground vehicles. Devices for railway applications endure severe constraint on their volume and immunity to vibration. Thus, they have to be built without any mobile part including fans, and to be as small as possible to minimize their impact on the payload capacity of the trains.The most specific constraint in railway application is the wide input voltage range sustained by the power converter. This voltage range, from 12 V to 154 V, is due to the large amount of electric standards worldwide. This characteristic is the main challenge for the design of compact DC/DC converters.In this thesis, in a first time the current converters topologies are analysed under the scope of our specifications. Then, the two most relevant structures are more deeply studied. Behavioural simulations and loss models are described, leading to the confirmation of their relevancy and the study of their lacks.In the last two chapters of this thesis, the sizing strategies used to fit our specifications are described. Then, the control techniques elaborated to meet the specificities of our application are described then tested on prototypes. The measurements made on the prototypes have confirmed the gain due to these control techniques and the sizing strategies previously described. These improvements have led to significant improvements in the performance of the converters and in the volume reduction of their passive elements

HIGH FREQUENCY TRANSFORMER LINKED CONVERTERS FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC APPLICATIONSLI, QUAN, q.li@cqu.edu.au January 2006 (has links)
This thesis examines converter topologies suitable for Module Integrated Converters
(MICs) in grid interactive photovoltaic (PV) systems, and makes a contribution to
the development of the MIC topologies based on the two-inductor boost converter,
which has received less research interest than other well known converters.
The thesis provides a detailed analysis of the resonant two-inductor boost converter
in the MIC implementations with intermediate constant DC links. Under variable
frequency control, this converter is able to operate with a variable DC gain while
maintaining the resonant condition. A similar study is also provided for the resonant
two-inductor boost converter with the voltage clamp, which aims to increase the
output voltage range while reducing the switch voltage stress. An operating point
with minimized power loss can be also established under the fixed load condition.
Both the hard-switched and the soft-switched current fed two-inductor boost
converters are developed for the MIC implementations with unfolding stages. Nondissipative
snubbers and a resonant transition gate drive circuit are respectively
employed in the two converters to minimize the power loss.
The simulation study of a frequency-changer-based two-inductor boost converter is
also provided. This converter features a small non-polarised capacitor in a second
phase output to provide the power balance in single phase inverter applications.
Four magnetic integration solutions for the two-inductor boost converter have also
been presented and they are promising in reducing the converter size and power loss.

Theory of super power saving circuits and configurations for mixed signal CPU for smartcard application / Teori om extremt energisparande kretsar och konfigurationer för mixed signal CPU för smartcard applikationKleist, Anders January 2004 (has links)
<p>Designing an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) must be starting with careful preparations, otherwise the chip will not be as good as possible.

The power reductions studies must include the most power costing circuits on the chip.

A Current Re-distribution Scheme for Improved Energy Harvesting in Concentrating Photovoltaic Systems Using Fine-grained dc-dc ConversionZaman, Mohammad Shawkat 19 March 2013 (has links)
This thesis presents a distributed power-management architecture for concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) systems. Specifically, the Δ-conversion scheme with voltage equalization is analyzed and verified for the CPV system from Morgan Solar, Inc. This architecture uses inverting buck-boost converters, denoted Δ-converters, which equalize the voltages of neighbouring CPV cells in a series-connected string of cells and improve the systems tolerance to parameter variations. The power benefits of Δ-conversion and the Δ-converter current distributions are investigated using statistical simulations. The effectiveness of Δ-conversion in the presence of randomly distributed mismatches is demonstrated, and current cascading is identified as the main design challenge. The Δ-converter is modelled and compensated using Middlebrook's Extra Element Theorem. Analysis of measured data from a six-cell CPV system demonstrate the benefits of Δ-conversion under realistic scenarios. Experimental results from prototype systems show up to 31% power benefits in the presence of mismatches.

Analysis, Design, And Implementation Of A 5 Kw Zero Voltage Switching Phase-shifted Full-bridge Dc/dc Converter Based Power Supply For Arc Welding MachinesUslu, Mutlu 01 November 2006 (has links) (PDF)
Modern arc welding machines utilize controllable high frequency DC/DC power supply with high dynamic and steady state current regulation performance. In the design robustness, small size and low weight, low complexity, and high efficiency are the defining criteria. The most suitable approach for a 5 kW arc welding machine power supply application is the high frequency Full-Bridge Phase-Shifted Zero Voltage Switching (FB-PS-ZVS) DC/DC converter with an isolation transformer. This converter not only gives the advantage of zero voltage switching for a wide load current range, it also provides reduced Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and reduced component stress compared to standard PWM converters. In this thesis a FB-PS-ZVS DC/DC converter with 5 kW power rating is designed for modern arc welding machine applications. IGBTs are utilized at 50 kHz switching frequency for high efficiency and control bandwidth. The output current of the DC/DC converter is controlled via a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) control platform. The performance of the designed DC/DC converter is evaluated via the computer simulations and the experimental study of the constructed prototype.

Design, Implementation, And Control Of A Two& / #8211 / stage Ac/dc Isolated Power Supply With High Input Power Factor And High EfficiencyKaya, Mehmet Can 01 October 2008 (has links) (PDF)
In this thesis a two-stage AC/DC/DC power converter is designed and implemented. The AC/DC input stage of the converter consists of the two& / #8211 / phase interleaved boost topology employing the average current mode control principle. The output stage consists of a zero voltage switching phase shifted full bridge (ZVS& / #8211 / PS& / #8211 / FB) DC/DC
converter. For the input stage, main design goals are obtaining high input power factor, low input current distortion, and well regulated output dc voltage, and obtaining these attributes in a power converter with high power density. For the input stage, the interleaved structure has been chosen in order to obtain reduced line current ripple and EMI, reduced power component stresses, and improved power density. The control of the pre& / #8211 / regulator is provided by utilizing a new commercial monolithic integrated circuit, which provides interleaved continuous conduction mode power factor correction (PFC). The output stage is formed by utilizing the
available prototype hardware of a ZVS& / #8211 / PS& / #8211 / FB DC/DC converter and mainly the system integration and controller design and implementation studies have been conducted. The converter small signal model is derived and utilizing its transfer
function and employing voltage loop control, the output voltage regulator has been designed. The output voltage controller is implemented utilizing a digital signal processor (DSP). Integrating the AC/DC preregulator and DC/DC converter, a laboratory AC/DC/DC converter system with high overall performance has been obtained. The overall system performance has been verified via computer simulations and experimental results obtained from laboratory prototype.

Design Of An Educational Purpose Multifunctional Dc/dc Converter BoardBaglan, Fuat Onur 01 August 2008 (has links) (PDF)
In this thesis a multifunctional DC/DC converter board will be developed for utilization as an educational experiment set in the switched-mode power conversion laboratory of power electronic courses. The board has a generic power-pole structure allowing for easy configuration of various power converter topologies and includes buck, boost, buck-boost, flyback, and forward converter topologies. All the converters can be operated in the open-loop control mode with a switching frequency range of 30-100 kHz and a maximum output power of 20 W. Also the buck converter can be operated in voltage mode control and the buck-boost converter can be operated in peak-current-mode control for the purpose of demonstrating the closed loop control performance of DC/DC converters. The designed board allows for experimentation on the DC/DC converters to observe the macroscopic (steadystate/ dynamic, PWM cycle and low frequency) and microscopic (switching dynamic) behavior of the converters. In the experiments both such characteristics can be clearly observed such that students at basic learning level (involving only the macroscopic behavior), and students at advanced learning level (additionally involving the parasitic effects) can benefit from the experiments. The thesis reviews the switch mode conversion principles, gives the board design and proceeds with the experiments illustrating the capabilities of the experimental system.

Topology development and analysis for multiple input DC/DC converterChoung, Seung Hoon 31 May 2011 (has links)
Nowadays, the number of applications which need more than one power source is increasing. Distributed generating systems or micro-grid systems normally use more than one power source or more than one kind of energy source. Also, to increase the utilization of renewable energy sources, diversified energy source combination is recommended. For example, a wind-photovoltaic generating system, a combination of a wind generator and photovoltaic array, can give a greater degree of freedom when choosing the install location. The combination of more power sources and diversified power sources makes it possible to obtain higher availability in a power system. A parallel connection of converters has been used to integrate more than one energy source in a power system. However, a multiple-input converter (MIC) can generally have the following advantages compare to a combination of several individual converters; (1) cost reduction, (2) compactness, (3) more expandability and (4) greater manageability.
First, this research suggests MIC topology comparison criteria that can be used as a decision guide for choosing a MIC topology depending on the application. Even though there are some MIC topology classification methods such as by the kind of combining methods, the classification methods are not enough to choose one particular topology. The comparison criteria presented in this dissertation are practical enough to decide which topology is suitable and should be chosen.
Second, a new MI modified inverse Watkins-Johnson converter (MIMIWJC) without a coupled inductor is proposed. The circuit configuration of this converter and its operation principles are described, including the open-loop and closed-loop circuit. For control purposes, a small signal model of the proposed converter is developed using Middlebrook’s extra element theorem. In addition, two possible control methods are introduced in this dissertation.
Finally, the theoretical analysis of the proposed converter is verified with simulations and experiments. / text
