ORIGINAL RESEARCH
Open AccessAutomatic optimal design of field plate for silicon on insulator lateral double‐diffused metal oxide semiconductor using simulated annealing algorithm
Pages: 487-493 | First Published: 12 February 2024
In this paper, an automatic optimal design method for field plate (FP) in silicon on insulator lateral double-diffused metal oxide semiconductor using simulated annealing algorithm is proposed. For a given device structure, the framework can automatically design the FP geometry parameters within the definite range that maximizes the device breakdown voltage without human intervention. Meanwhile, the optimization process can be finished in a few seconds.
Open AccessImproved single‐layer powder core inductor design procedure for DC‐DC converters
Pages: 494-510 | First Published: 07 February 2024
A design method is presented that is aimed at optimizing powder cores for inductances in DC-DC converters in the power range up to 30 kW. The method is experimentally demonstrated for DC-DC converters with silicon IGBTs and silicon carbide MOSFETs.
Open AccessImproved design of passive damping for single phase grid‐connected LCL filtered inverter considering impedance stability
Pages: 511-523 | First Published: 07 February 2024
The value for the damping resistor of the inductor–capacitor–inductor (LCL) filter resonance is commonly chosen as one-third of the capacitive reactance at the resonance frequency of the LCL filter. However, this commonly-used principle does not take into account the external stability of the inverter, i.e. the potential for an interaction between the inverter output impedance and the grid impedance. This work discusses a new design for the damping resistor to assure the external stability of the voltage source inverter as well as its internal stability.
Open AccessUnderstanding wind turbine power converter reliability under realistic wind conditions
Pages: 524-533 | First Published: 16 February 2024
The paper shows that wind turbine power converter of 3L-NPC topology works longer than 2L-VSC topology. The lifetime ratio between both converters varies according to the average wind speed and wind turbulence intensity. The paper results are based on simulations of more than 800 filed-recorded variable wind speed profiles covering a wide range of wind speeds and turbulence intensities.
Open AccessA new transformerless buck‐boost converter with improved voltage gain and continuous input current
Pages: 534-550 | First Published: 17 February 2024
This paper proposes a new transformerless buck-boost converter with an extended voltage conversion ratio. This converter has semi-quadratic voltage gain, which provides more gain with lower duty cycles. This converter has a simple structure and easy implementation, which reduces the cost and increases efficiency.
Open AccessNew multilevel inverter based on reduced switch basic cell for high voltage levels
Pages: 551-563 | First Published: 17 February 2024
In this study, an attempt has been made to solve total harmonic distortion (THD) and voltage stress on switches problems by presenting a multi-level inverter (MLI). The proposed topology can work with both symmetric and asymmetric sources. The proposed topology reduces the THD, the number of power electronics components, and voltage stress by increasing the output levels.
Open AccessA soft switched step‐up DC–DC converter using a low‐power auxiliary circuit and continuous input current
Pages: 564-575 | First Published: 14 February 2024
In this paper, a high step-up DC–DC converter based on coupled inductor with low input current ripple is presented. Also using a low power auxiliary circuit, turning on and off of the main switch, will be as soft switching. The soft switching condition is almost independent of the specifications of the circuit especially the output power and this is one of the advantages of suggested topology.
