Theoretical Assessment of DC/DC Power Converters’ Basic Topologies. A Common Static Model

Abstract

Featured Application: DC/DC converters design and teaching.Abstract: By the application of well-known circuit analysis techniques, this paper develops an intuitive approach to model the steady state regime of the three DC/DC power converters' basic topologies (buck, boost and buck-boost). The developed approach can be considered new, realistic, accurate, general and practical. The approach is new because it is not present in the literature; realistic because it considers the main non-idealities of the different passive and active components that make up the converters; accurate because its theoretical results fit properly to those obtained in actual converters; general because it is valid for the three basic topologies; and practical because its applicability is easy and immediate from the data sheets of the converters' components (no measurements are needed). The developed model transforms a complex system with strong non-idealities in the form of distributed parameters, in a simple and intuitive scheme of concentrated parameters (just three), which accurately reflects the actual behavior of the three basic converters' topologies. The characteristic parameters of the model and its main relationships are determined analytically. The quality of the developed approach has been tested in the paper and can be considered excellent.

Comparative Analysis of Robustness and Tracking Efficiency of Maximum Power Point in Photovoltaic Generators, Using Estimation of the Maximum Power Point Resistance by Irradiance Measurement Processing

“…The input resistance of the DC/DC converter can be calculated using Equation (1) [ 13 , 38 ]: where R L is the load resistance and δ is the converter duty cycle. R off is a resistance that includes an inductor, connection wires between the PVG and the DC/DC converter, and other parasitic resistances of the converter.…”

Design of the Buck Converter without Inductor Current Sensor

“…It can assist in confirming stability. Many studies [29][30][31][32] about modeling ways are proposed. Chou et al [22,28] presents the design procedure in detail.…”

“…The purpose of different colors in Figure 14 is to clearly find the function blocks in Figure 12. According to [29,30], in Equation ( 4), we locate the zero, w z , at the output pole of the buck converter. The pole, w p , is a free design parameter.…”

Practical Challenges in Design of Omnidirectional, Medium Distance, Device Agnostic Wireless Power Transfer System

“…e load resistance of the ba ery will play a large role in determining the voltage and current ratio received by the receiver circuit, optimizing that for maximum power point will result in higher e ciencies and thus higher power transferred. Utilization of a power converter introduces possibilities for varying and compressing the re ected resistance, as shown in [11]. is will increase the power transferred from the transmi er and improves the versatility of the system.…”
