Applying genetic algorithms to fly-back converter designFivaz, Jean 27 February 2012 (has links)
M.Ing. / This thesis investigates how genetic algorithms may be applied to solving for flyback converter design optimization. The genetic algorithm finds the combinations of components and switching frequency required for a capable, efficient and small fly-back solution. Ways of effectively evaluating the proposed solutions are discussed in light of the circuit theories of power electronics, and specifically, fly-back converters. Applying component data effectively to the evaluation process is addressed, especially in the light of the optimization goals. A solution evolved by a genetic algorithm is tested and compared against a prototype designed through conventional methods.

Hardware design and protection issues in an AC/AC converterFaveluke, Alex 25 August 1997 (has links)
An AC/AC converter has been designed and implemented for the purpose of
providing a modular drive system with a Brushless Doubly-Fed Machine (BDFM.) This
converter is to be used in laboratory testing and also as part of a demonstration system in
the field.
All hardware needed to start and run the BDFM is now consolidated into a single
NEMA standard frame electrical equipment box. This allows easy transportation and
setup of the drive system, and will enable the BDFM drive system to be directly
compared with existing induction machine based drive systems.
Converter subsystem overviews in the body of the text and comprehensive
schematics in the appendices of this thesis describe all circuitry included in the drive
system. Sufficient construction detail is given to allow for duplication of this converter
by qualified technical personnel. While not tailored for mass production, this converter
may provide a starting point for a commercially viable design. / Graduation date: 1998

Analysis and design of multiple-output forward converter with weighted voltage controlChen, Jing 03 October 2007 (has links)
This work presents the modeling and analyses of multiple-output forward converters with weighted voltage control. Based upon the analyses, the systematic design methodologies and design tools are provided.
A power stage de model including all the major parasitics, which are detrimental to the output voltages, is derived. A nonlinear programming based design tool is developed to search for the weighting factors. Five methods of stacking secondaries to improve cross-regulation are presented, and the improvement of cross-regulation is quantified.
A small-signal model of the multiple-output converters with coupled output filter inductors and weighted voltage control is established. The small-signal characteristics are studied, and the model shows that the system behavior is very sensitive to the coupling coefficient, which has been reported, but never been quantified. The pole-zero interlaced condition is derived. A current-mode control small-signal model is also presented, which can predict all the observed phenomena of current-mode control. Compensator design is discussed for different types of power stage transfer functions for both voltage-mode and current-mode control. / Ph. D.

High-frequency Analog Voltage Converter DesignXu, Ping 04 May 1994 (has links)
For many high-speed, high-performance circuits, purely differential inputs are needed. This project focuses on building high-speed voltage converters which can transfer a single-ended signal to a purely differential signal, or a differential input signal to a single-ended signal. Operational transconductance amplifier (OTAs) techniques are widely used in high-speed continuous-time integrated analog signal processing (ASP) circuits because resistors, inductors, integrators, buffers, multipliers and filters can be built by OT As and capacitors. Taking advantage of OT As, very-high-speed voltage converters are designed in CMOS technology. These converters can work in a frequency range from DC (OHz) up to lOOMHz and higher, and keep low distortion over a± 0.5V input range. They can replace transformers so that designing fully integrated differential circuits becomes possible. The designs are based on a MOSIS 2μm n-well process. SPICE simulations of these designs are given. The circuit was laid out with MAGIC layout tools and fabricated through MOSIS. The chip was measured at PSU and Intel circuit labs and the experimental results show the correctness of the designs.

Manhattan Converter Family: Partial Power Processing, Module Stacking with Linear Complexity, Efficiency and Power Density, in DC and AC ApplicationsJahnes, Matthew January 2024 (has links)
A modularized three-dimensional power electronics environment will become increasingly necessary as power converters are more intertwined with the dynamic desires of modern society. This is driven by ever-changing requirements, combined with the desire for quick design cycles, and then further compounded by the increased penetration of electrified technologies. The high demand for various power converters presents a design, manufacturing, and validation burden which can be lessened with a three-dimensional power electronics environment, where power converters of any arbitrary set of voltage, current, or quantity of independent input/outpt requirements can be assembled from a grouping of pre-existing converter modules. This, however, has drawbacks when compared with bespoke power converter designs. Modularization can be complex, lossy, and large, and the resulting converter's overall efficiency and power density will then suffer. To compensate for these costs of modularization, the individual modules must be first be power dense and efficient, and then the framework for grouping modules together must be simple.
This dissertation first proposes a high performance Power Conversion Unit (PCU) which is achieved through a unique combination of techniques. The first of these techniques is modification to the ubiqutioius buck converter topology in a form of an adjustment to its output filter. This topological modification results in decreased current ripple handling requirements of the filter, which can be used to reduce its volume. The second topological technique is an additional capacitance placed across the drain-source terminals of each FET, which is used to reduce their turn-off switching energy at the expense of their turn-on switching energy. A variable frequency soft-switching scheme is utitlized to prevent the converter from incurring turn-on losses, and a duty cycle compensation scheme is developed to mitigate the distortions caused by this increased drain-source capacitance. Finally, a process for balancing the PCU design parameters that results in a Pareto frontier of efficiency-power density optimal points is defined, one selected, and a protoype PCU constructed and tested in a three-phase inverter configuration.
A framework for the vertical stacking of PCUs is then shown. This framework, named the Manhattan Topology, is a multilevel power converter topology which is defined by a set of series stacked capacitances where there exists a method to transfer power between capacitances. This framework has linear complexity and switching device stress scaling with the number of levels, which yields a simple methodology for grouping modules together in the vertical dimension. Furthermore, it exhibits Partial Power Processing (PPP) characteristics as the power processed internally to the overall converter is less than its output power. This framework is validated for both DC/DC and AC/DC applications and control and conversion of voltages greater than the rating of any individual component within the converter is experimentally demonstrated. Lastly, another three-phase inverter is built using this topological framework and the performance of this vertically-modularized inverter is compared with the non-modularized inverter. It is shown that the three-dimensional modular power electronics environment with optimized PCUs, despite the costs of modularization, is still performance-competitive with the non-modular power electronics environment.

Coupled simulation of an indirect field oriented controlled induction motor driveLegesse, Michael. January 2008 (has links)
Conventionally, system simulations of induction motor drives use lumped parameters model of the motor. This approach assumes motor parameters to be constant during the entire operation of the drive. Unfortunately, these are known to vary significantly over the operating range of the motor due to factors such as magnetic saturation, skin effects, and operating temperature. The variations in motor parameters affect motor output and control parameters resulting in degraded drive performance. One way of overcoming this problem is by coupling the field model of the induction motor with the drive simulation. By replacing the lumped parameters model with the field model, the influence of different operating conditions on motor parameters can be taken into account dynamically. In this thesis such an approach is investigated by coupling the finite element analysis of an induction motor with the system simulation of the field oriented controlled drive. The results obtained for the coupled simulation are promising and possible future works to make this method of simulation more accurate and reliable are recommended.

Energy conversion unit with optimized waveform generationSajadian, Sally January 2014 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The substantial increase demand for electrical energy requires high efficient apparatus dealing with energy conversion. Several technologies have been suggested to implement power supplies with higher efficiency, such as multilevel and interleaved converters. This thesis proposes an energy conversion unit with an optimized number of output voltage levels per number of switches nL=nS. The proposed five-level four-switch per phase converter has nL=nS=5/4 which is by far the best relationship among the converters presented in technical literature. A comprehensive literature review on existing five-level converter topologies is done to compare the proposed topology with conventional multilevel converters. The most important characteristics of the proposed configuration are: (i) reduced number of semiconductor devices, while keeping a high number of levels at the output converter side, (ii) only one DC source without any need to balance capacitor voltages, (iii) high efficiency, (iv) there is no dead-time requirement for the converters operation, (v) leg isolation procedure with lower stress for the DC-link capacitor. Single-phase and three-phase version of the proposed converter is presented in this thesis. Details regarding the operation of the configuration and modulation strategy are presented, as well as the comparison between the proposed converter and the conventional ones. Simulated results are presented to validate the theoretical expectations. In addition a fault tolerant converter based on proposed topology for micro-grid systems is presented.
A hybrid pulse-width-modulation for the pre-fault operation and transition from the pre-fault to post-fault operation will be discussed. Selected steady-state and transient results are demonstrated to validate the theoretical modeling.
