This diploma thesis deals with design of welding power supply for MIG / MAG and MMA technique with continuous output current 120 A. The first, theoretical part is devoted to welding process technology, physical characteristics of electric arc and description of individual welding methods. The thesis also deals with the concept of power converter. The design of the switched-mode power supply is based on a full bridge topology. In order to implement advanced controls of welding power supply, the ARM Cortex M4 microprocessor was selected. Due to the large power consumption of the stepper motor for drive the welding wire, an auxiliary switched-mode power supply was also implemented. The documentation describing the realization of the welding power supply and the results of the measurements are in the last part of the thesis. The welding power supply was successfully revived and reached nominal parameters. Inert gas welding has not been tested yet, due to lack of time caused by extensive work in order to complete mechanical realization.

The aim of my master’s thesis is the design and implementation of laboratory power supply with output parameters 0-25V and 0-2A and options to manage this resource by elements of the front panel or via a computer control program. Content is the theoretical analysis of the possibility of subsequent theoretical sources suggesting that it verified on the prototype laboratory resources.

The project shows the problems of power supply in electrical engineering. It describes the general parameters of these types of supplies and presents their characteristics. Based on these findings, it is also focused on the selection of specific elements of the laboratory supply, to reach the given parameters. It contains the recalculations of the parameters of other additional components. The overall scheme of the supply is divided into several blocks, thematically corresponded to subchapters. According to the accomplished concept the laboratory supply is realized and its parameters had been tested. Projects results are assessed at the end.

With rising fuel prices, increasing electrification, and imminent fines on CO2 emission within the EU, the requirement for energy and cost efficient supply concepts is becomingmore and more important in the automotive industry. This thesis presents an assessmentof, and improvement for energy and cost efficient power supply concepts for low-end automotiveand light e-mobility electronic control units, containing small µCs, and analogand logic components. Specifically, linear regulators, synchronous and non-synchronous buck converters, andswitched capacitor converters are investigated and assessed theoretically. The mostpromising concept, namely a discrete buck converter, is further studied using theoreticalassessment, experiment, and simulations. The key result of this work is a concept for replacing commonly used linear regulatorsin small electronic control units (ECUs) by a more efficient supply with only a smallcost adder. Specifically, since no low-end switched converter ICs are available today, wedeveloped a buck converter with discrete control circuit. This concept provides a cheap,yet efficient alternative to linear regulators for a wide range of applications. In addition,the application of this concept is supported by component selection criteria, and also bythe developed simulation models.

This master´s thesis describes switch mode power supply and discusses the design of its individual parts. It also contains a simulation of the power part of the converter and a reseach in the area of DC/DC converters.

This thesis is about theory of switching power supplies and about a specific solution of switching power supply for electron microscope. In the beginning of the thesis are mentioned various solutions of part blocks of switching power supplies, their advanteges and disadvanteges, and their suitability for electron microscopy. In the next part of the thesis are described requirements and design scheme of switching power supply for scanning part of electron microscope. The thesis i also about technical solution and practical testing of the switching power supply and verification of its functions.

The aim of this thesis is design of adjustable switched mode power supply with symmetrical output of 25 V, and switched mode power supply with fixed output voltage of 5 V. Required maximum output current of each outputs is 3 A. At the beginning of the paper function of the basic SMPS topologies is described. Next all reqiured SMPSs are designed and chosen parts of the design are simulated. In the second half of the thesis assembly and testing of PCB are described as well as functions of programs. Last chapter contains results of meassurement of power supply paramters.

This master’s thesis deals with the design of the switching power supply on the principle of high frequency converter. The goal of this thesis is construction of converter which is using GaN MOSFET transistors and SiC diodes for switching. The converter uses two switch forward power supply topology. Unusually high switching frequency was chosen for the design with power transformer with open magnetic core. The outcome of this work is functional converter which is primarily intended for educational and demonstrational purposes. Multiple parts of this converter are divided into individual blocks, which can be further used for construction of other types of switching converters.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis proposes two new topologies for Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), and a grid-tie microinverter. The first topic will discuss an on-line transformerless UPS system based on the integrated power electronics converters that is able to control the input power factor, charge the battery, and guarantee backup operation of the system. The main advantages of the proposed UPS are active power factor correction (PFC) without the need of a complex control scheme, and integrated functions of the battery charger circuit and PFC with only three power switches. Operation modes of the system and the PWM strategy is presented in detail. The second topic discussed is of a proposed circuitry for a single-phase back-to-back converter for UPS applications. The main advantages of this topology is higher number of levels at the rectifier side, less number of power switches, and no need for a boost inductor at the input side of the converter. The last topic discussed is of a proposed patent pending microinverter. This topic was a project funded by the National Science Foundation, and its aim was to help commercialize the research. This project proposes a solution for a solar inverter called Delta Microinverter that allows easier and faster installation as well as power conversion with higher efficiency. Delta Microinverters innovation is found in its patent-pending shape and in its patent-pending circuitry, i.e., electronics mounted inside of the Delta Microinverter. The Delta Microinverters shape has a housing configured for rapid mounting using a single fastener and its power electronics configuration offers an optimized relationship between the number of levels and number of power switches.
