In this article, a quasi-switched boost converter based on the switched-capacitor technique with high step-up voltage capability is dealt with and analyzed. The proposed converter offers a simple structure and low voltage stress on the semiconductor elements with intrinsic small duty cycle. An inductor of the proposed converter is connected in series with the input voltage source; therefore, continuous input current ripple is attainable. In addition, the efficiency of the proposed converter is also improved. A detailed steady-state analysis is discussed to identify the salient features of the switched-capacitor-based quasi-switched boost DC-DC converter. The performance of the converter is compared against similar existing high boost DC-DC converters. Finally, the switched-capacitor-based quasi-switched boost DC-DC converter is investigated by experimental verification.

We prototyped an LLC converter using SiC-MOSFET and GaN-FET to study the device dependence of the resonant type converter characteristics and high current effects on the devices during the start-up mode.Under steady state operation, no observable difference exists between the SiC-MOSFET and GaN-FET in current and voltage waveforms and energy conversion efficiency is over 96% regardless of the device used.However, significant differences exist during the start-up mode. As for the SiC-MOSFET, the inrush current is at maximum in the first few cycles and gradually decreases to steady state. As for the effects on the device, there are no characteristic changes or current waveform fluctuation during the start-up period even after 50 repetitions.Alternately, in the case of GaN-FET, the maximum inrush current is at the first cycle and decreases rapidly to half only a few cycles later. The multi-pulse experiment shows that a single high current pulse degrades the I-V characteristics of the device and the subsequent pulse current decreases. It is also noted that the degradation could be overcome by a longer interval after the high current, however, no further improvement is seen above a 20 µs interval.

Abstract Multilevel inverters (MLIs) have formed a new wave of interest in research and industry. Switched capacitor-based multilevel inverters are used to avoid the need for multiple separated DC sources compared to cascaded MLIs. However, the inclusion of several capacitors creates problems such as high inrush current, voltage imbalance. To avoid these drawbacks, this paper proposes an isolation-based scheme by using a flyback converter in the switched capacitor multilevel inverter. Further, the overall topology provides step-up AC voltage across the load from a single DC source with fewer power switches. To generate a step-up five-level voltage across the load, switched capacitor-based multilevel inverter needs six power switches and only one capacitor. To get the appropriate switching operation to generate the NL-levels, phase disposition pulse width modulation (PD-PWM) has been developed. The extended nine-level S 2 -MLI is also discussed in this paper under different conditions as change in input source voltage and dynamic load change. Moreover, to prove the superior performance of switched-capacitor single DC source multilevel inverter (S2-MLI), comparative analysis with existing single DC source MLI has been performed. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed topology are tested with varieties of loads by simulation using Matlab/Simulink. To validate the simulation results, hardware implementation has been done of five-level S2-MLI considering resistive and motor load by using DSpace 1103 controller.

Start Up

Since the zero initial conditions of the boost converter are far from the target equilibrium point, the overshoot of the input current and the output voltage will cause energy loss during the start-up process when the converter adopts the commonly used small-signal model design control method. This paper presents a sliding mode control strategy that combines two switching surfaces. One switching surface based on the large-signal model is employed for the start-up to minimize inrush current and voltage overshoot. The stability of this strategy is verified by Lyapunov theory and simulation. Once the converter reaches the steady-state, the other switching surface with PI compensation of voltage error is employed to improve the robustness. The latter switching surface, which is adopted to regulate the voltage, can not only suppress the perturbation of input voltage and load, but also achieve a better dynamic process and a zero steady-state error. Furthermore, the discrete sliding mode controller is implemented by digital signal processor (DSP). Finally, the results of simulation, experiment and theoretical analysis are consistent.
