This paper presents the design of an Interleaved DC/DC Boost Converter for the implementation of an Electric Scooter. The output of the power converter can be controlled using the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switching technique to boost 12V battery supply to power a 24V Brushed DC Motor with improved efficiency compared to conventional converters. The design of the power converter was calculated for different number of interleaving phases. The simulation is carried out using MATLAB/Simulink for 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8-phases interleaved converters to compare their performances. The 4-phase is selected due to its advantage and further implemented in the prototype. PWM output switching frequency is set to 25 kHz with 4 signals of 90° phase shift to each other. The testing on a complete prototype was carried out.

This paper presents an implementation of a microcontroller based boost converter to maintain constant speed of a DC motor. The optimised values namely kp,ki,kd  of the  Boost Converter  are taken from firefly algorithm[10] and implemented using microcontroller. Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a procedure to generate changeable pulse width with different duty cycle. The PWM signal reduces the switching losses. This paper presents a DC motor speed controller where PID Controller is used where the optimized values of kp,ki,kd are taken from firefly algorithm[10]. The PWM pulse width will alter the speed of the motor.  The motor voltage and revolutions per seconds (RPS) obtained at different duty cycle rates. With increase in duty cycle, further voltage is applied to the motor. This gives stronger magnetic flux in the armature windings and to enhance revolutions per seconds. The characteristics and concert of the DC motor speed control system was discussed. In this paper, a PIC microcontroller is designed with a DC-DC boost converter for the motor speed controller system. Finally to improve the graphical result we design the hardware in loop method using matlab.

The Given

<p>This proposal proposes a DC/DC Buck Boost converter which has been used as a smooth starter for a DC Permanent Magnet Motor. In the existing system the DC/DC Buck Converter is used which provide the output less than the input Signal. Using buck converter it is difficult to increase the value of the input signal. Hence DC/DC Buck- Boost Converter used from which it is possible to get both the increased and decreased output from the given input. Previously pulse width modulation signals with respective to motor voltage is used. However they produce variations in the voltage and current of the motor. The above problem is overcome by using DC/DC Power converter. The proposed system with reduction in size, reduced ripples and increase in speed makes the system to operate at both low and high power applications. The proposed system results in higher efficiency, reduces the ripple content and the stress. The results are validated through MATLAB/Simulink and real time implementation.</p>

A non-isolated bidirectional DC-DC cconverter with step up-down capability is proposed in this paper.

Voltage stresses of the power switches are lower than those in the conventional buck-boost converter. Moreover, only a single magnetic component is required in the proposed converter. An asymmetrical pulse width modulation (APWM) control shceme is utilized. The operation principle and steady-state analysis of the proposed converter are provided.

Output Side

A phase-shift pulse-width modulation converter is studied and investigated for railway vehicle or solar cell power converter applications with wide voltage operation. For railway vehicle applications, input voltage range of dc converters is requested to have 30–40% voltage variation of the nominal input voltage. The nominal input voltages of dc converters on railway vehicles applications may be 37.5 V, 48 V, 72 V, 96 V and 110 V. Therefore, a new dc converter with wide input voltage operation from 25 to 150 V is presented to withstand different nominal input voltage levels such as 37.5–110 V on railway power units. To realize wide input voltage operation, an auxiliary switch and auxiliary transformer windings are used on output side of conventional full-bridge converter to have different voltage gains under different input voltage values. Phase-shift pulse-width modulation is adopted in the developed dc converter to accomplish soft switching operation on power switches. To confirm and validate the practicability of the presented converter, experiments based on a 300 W prototype were provided in this paper.

—This The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) DC-to-AC inverter has been widely used in many applications due to its circuit simplicity and rugged control scheme. It is however driven by a hard-switching pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter, which has low switching frequency, high switching loss, high electro-magnetic interference (EMI), high acoustic noise and low efficiency, etc. To solve these problems of the hard-switching inverter, many soft-switching inverters have been designed in the past. Unfortunately, high device voltage stress, large dc link voltage ripples, complex control scheme and so on are noticed in the existing soft-switching inverters. This proposed work overcomes the above problems with simple circuit topology and all switches work in zero-voltage switching condition. Comparative analysis between conventional open loop, PI and fuzzy logic based soft switching inverter is also presented and discussed.

We show the main results obtained when applying the average theory to Zero Average Dynamic control technique in a buck power converter with pulse-width modulation (PWM). In particular, we have obtained the bound values for output error and sliding surface. The PWM with centered and lateral pulse configurations were analyzed. The analytical results have confirmed the numerical and experimental results already obtained in previous publications. Moreover, through an important lemma, we have generalized the theory for any stable second-order system with relative degree 2, using properties related to transformations and stability of linear systems.

The key issue in the implementation of the Sliding Mode Control (SMC) in analogue circuits and power electronic converters is its variable switching frequency. The drifting frequency causes electromagnetic compatibility issues and also adversely affect the efficiency of the converter, because the proper size of the inductor and the capacitor depends upon the switching frequency. Pulse Width Modulation based SMC (PWM-SMC) offers the solution, however, it uses either boundary layer approach or employs pulse width modulation of the ideal equivalent control signal. The first technique compromises the performance within the boundary layer, while the latter may not possess properties like robustness and order reduction due to the absence of the discontinuous function. In this research, a novel approach to fix the switching frequency in SMC is proposed, that employs a low pass filter to extract the equivalent control from the discontinuous function, such that the performance and robustness remains intact. To benchmark the experimental observations, a comparison with existing double integral type PWM-SMC is also presented. The results confirm that an improvement of 20% in the rise time and 25.3% in the settling time is obtained. The voltage sag during step change in load is reduced to 42.86%, indicating the increase in the robustness. The experiments prove the hypothesis that a discontinuous function based fixed frequency SMC performs better in terms of disturbances rejection as compared to its counterpart based solely on ideal equivalent control.

<p>The continuously increasing demand for control on electric power equipment has led to the rapid technological development in various applications such as renewable energy, electric drives, and communication. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switching is an important technique to control the output voltage. PWM signals can either be generated using digital controller or analog controller. Digital controllers are widely used to generate PWM signals due to their reliability in solving complex algorithms within short amount of time. Multiphase boost converter is capable to overcome high input current ripple, current stress and semiconductor losses in conventional boost converter. This paper proposes a PWM switching scheme for multiphase interleaved converter using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The proposed switching scheme uses PWM switching technique that is implemented by programming Altera DE2-70 board. The duty cycle can be easily adjusted using assigned switches on the Altera board. For validation, switching frequency was set to 100 kHz, and then switching signal was observed using oscilloscope.</p>
