Esta dissertação aborda aspectos gerais relativos à utilização de um conversor CC-CC que opera conectado à rede de distribuição e que emprega como fonte primária células a combustível. Neste trabalho, a modelagem matemática em espaços de estados (pequenos sinais e média) dos conversores Boost e Boost Interleaved com Multiplicador de Tensão (IBVM), assim como as arquiteturas de controle utilizadas em modo tensão, corrente média e corrente de pico são comparadas para determinar qual delas apresenta melhor desempenho. Devido ao fato das células a combustível apresentarem tensão terminal baixa e corrente terminal elevada, há a necessidade de utilizar conversores eletrônicos com alto ganho para equalizar a tensão produzida pela fonte com o nível de tensão presente na rede de distribuição. Tendo isso em vista, este trabalho mostra uma análise do ganho estático de tensão do conversor Boost e IBVM considerando os efeitos das resistências parasitas dos componentes utilizados e da carga conectada nos terminais de saída do conversor. Como resultado da modelagem matemática do ganho, é mostrado um conjunto de equações que definem o valor mínimo de resistência do semicondutor de potência, indutor, capacitor do multiplicador de tensão e a máxima carga que os conversores Boost e Boost Interleaved com Multiplicador de Tensão podem suprir. Por fim, os resultados experimentais são apresentados com o intuito de validar os resultados teóricos e de simulação obtidos. / This thesis addresses general aspects concerning the application of DC-DC converters applied to a grid connected Fuel Cell system. It is discussed in this thesis the averaged and small signals space state modeling of the Boost and Interleaved Boost with Voltage Multiplier (IBVM) converter, it is also mentioned the control architectures in voltage mode, average current mode and peak current mode. The voltage and average current mode control architectures are simulated and implemented in hardware in order to be compared. Due to the fact that Fuel Cells present low terminal voltage and high current, it is needed to use high gain DC-DC converters with the aim connect the system to the grid. This thesis also presents an approach in the analysis of DC-DC converter static voltage gain considering the effect of the parasitic resistances and the load connected to the converter terminals. As a result of the gain analysis, it is presented a set of equation, from which is possible to determine the maximum value of the parasitic resistances for the switch, inductor and capacitor of the voltage multiplier. It is also calculated the maximum value of load connected to the Boost and Interleaved Boost with Voltage Multiplier converters with the aim to present the designed voltage gain. Additionally, by the maximum load value calculated it is possible to determine the maximum power that the converter will be capable to process, considering a specific point of operation. Finally, the designed DC-DC converter is implemented with the aim to validate the theoretical and simulation results.

This paper presents the design and development of a novel Arc Welding Power Supply utilizing a modified two-switch forward converter topology. The proposed design improves the power quality by improving power factor to near unity and reducing total harmonic distortion. State space analysis of the proposed circuit showed that the circuit followed a boost-buck input output relationship. Simulation of the circuit was first implemented in LTspice to verify the functionality of the new topology. Hardware implementation of the proposed design was built on a scaled-down prototype for a proof-of-concept of the new topology. The prototype specifications were created for a 5A, 20V output with a 20-24V, 60Hz input. This project demonstrated that the proposed new topology was successful in obtaining a near unity power factor and a total harmonic distortion of less than 2%. Additionally, the prototype followed the simulation and calculations of a boost-buck function while varying duty cycle, and the final measurements aligned well with waveforms from the simulation.

This paper describes the design of DC/DC converters designed for charging supercapacitors and subsequent transformation of voltage to the desired value. In the text are presented decreasing and increasing switched-mode voltage converter including the calculation of the individual components and also the design of converter that combines both types. Using simulation software has been verified the function of each circuits, which can serves as a lower power backup supply.

This work builds on a semester project 2. from the winter semester of this academic year. The aim of this thesis is the design of converter using semiconductor components based on SiC technology. This converter is used in the construction of quick charger for electric vehicles. The design of this converter must be based on the requirements for compliance voltage safety. It describes the design of power components used in the construction of this facility, the determination of their losses and determines the overall efficiency of the converter. There is also proposed mathematical model of high-frequency transformer and made his simulation in Matlab-Simulink.

This thesis deals with a design, construciton and testing of a switch-mode power supply (SMPS) which is working as a LiFEPO4 battery charger with output current up to 100~A and output voltage up to 14,6~V. The output voltage and current can be regulated by the operator from zero to maximum value. For this SMPS Half-bridge asymmetrical forward converter with two transformers and common output inductor topology is chosen. The control circuits are run by the IC SG3525. Cascaded regulation of output voltage and current is implemented by two discrete operational amplifiers. Undervoltage protection of the control circuits and independent overcurrent protection on the primary side is also implemented.

This diploma thesis deals with design and comparison of selected DC/DC converters, where the better of them is practically realized. The first part of the diploma thesis is focused on the general analysis of DC/DC power converters. The following part is theoretical analysis focused on the first selected topology – step-up converter. The second analysed topology is forward converter with full bridge on the primary side. The theoretical analysis also includes a description of synchronous rectifier, the differences between hard and soft switching, and the types of secondary rectifiers. Another part specializes in the detailed calculation of main components of selected converters and their subsequent power dimensioning. Both designed topologies are compared according to the required aspects. The selected better topology is supplemented by the design of control circuits and an auxiliary power supply. Practical realization of converter and commissioning follows. The diploma thesis ends with verification measurements on the realized converter and their subsequent analysis.

This diploma thesis describes particular parts of power inverter such as gate driver, DSC, LC filter, low power supply, DC/DC converter and four-quadrant bridge and manner of its control by digital signal controller. Inverter is designated for generating of a mobile artificial electric grid (for example in a car).

A drive design for an electric bike with brushed DC disk motor is proposed in this thesis. Especially the design of a DC/DC converter with DSC control is described. The converter can operate as step-down and step-up too. Minimum dimensions and sufficient power for riding without human assistance were the main demands on the design.
