Design of isolated DC-DC and DC-DC-AC converters with reduced number of power switches

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / There are various types of power electronic converters available in recent days. In
some applications (e.g. PC power supply), it is required to supply more than one load
from a single power supply. One of the main challenges while designing a power converter
is to increase its e ciency especially when the number of power switches employed is
relatively large. While several loads are supplied from a single source, if the power loss in
the switches cannot be reduced, then the expected utilization of using a single source is not
very feasible. To reduce the loss and increase e ciency, the thesis presents a novel design
with reduced number of switches.
The scope of this thesis is not limited to the dc-dc converter only, the converter to supply
three phase ac loads from a single dc source is also presented. This discussion includes an
improved fault tolerant configuration of the inverter part. The generated waveforms from
the simulations are included as a demonstration of satisfactory results.
