Significant usable energy is discarded as exhaust gas in most pneumatic processes. The ability to recycle this energy could lead to significant improvements in system efficiency. This paper presents a method of dynamically converting the exhaust gas energy of pneumatic systems to a higher pressure so that it may be reintroduced to the pressure supply and reused, boosting energy efficiency of industrial pneumatic systems. This is the pneumatic equivalent of a boost converter, an electrical system that supplies a greater voltage to a load than the power source can supply. Each component of the electrical system can be analogized to an equivalent pneumatic component. The most apparent of these comparisons is the method of storing and transforming energy. In the electrical system, the energy is stored in an inductor which is charged in a closed loop. In the pneumatic system, energy can be stored as momentum. When this stored energy is discharged, a spike in voltage or pressure will be observed in the electrical or pneumatic system, respectively. Similarly, every component of the electrical boost converter can be linked to a pneumatic counterpart. With these relationships fully understood, a device to perform the pneumatic boost conversion is modeled. Successful realization of this result will confirm the analogy between the electrical and pneumatic systems, which will allow for the development of more complex pneumatic systems based on various well understood electrical converters. This paper presents simulations of both electrical and pneumatic boost converters. Insights regarding the energy conversion and its efficiency are drawn from the pneumatic model as well as from the dynamically similar electrical model.

Boost converters are an integral part of any solar energy system. In order to obtain maximum possible energy from the solar system multi-phase interleaved boost converters are used. This paper presents the small-signal ac modelling and closed loop control of three-phase interleaved boost converter. State–space modelling methodology has been adopted to have linearized equivalent model of the boost converter. The interleaved three-phase boost converter is averaged over its one switching period and perturbed with small ac variations and finally linearized around its quiescent point to have a small signal ac model.  Type III compensator is employed to improve the frequency response and closed loop control of three-phase boost converter. The controller design procedure is discussed in detail. The effect of right-half plane zero in non-minimum phase system and the appropriate pole-zero placements to overcome the maximum phase lag in such system is discussed. The compensated closed loop system is tested for load variations to observe the transient response.</p><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table>

<p>This Work deals with design, modeling and simulation of parallel cascaded buck boost converter inverter based closed loop controlled solar system. Two buck boost converters are cascaded in parallel to reduce the ripple in DC output. The DC from the solar cell is stepped up using boost converter. The output of the boost converter is converted to 50Hz AC using single phase full bridge inverter. The simulation results of open loop and closed loop systems are compared. This paper has presented a simulink model for closed loop controlled solar system.  Parallel cascaded buck boost converter is proposed for solar system.</p>

This paper explores the level of conducted EMI in a buck boost converter under a non linear load condition based on the CISPR 11 / Class A EMC standard. Here, the buck boost converter was designed to produce a constant output voltage irrespective of load conditions. The closed loop control is designed using dsPIC controller. Three different randomization firing schemes are adopted and the EMI analysis in each mode is done experimentally. Also, the results are compared with normal PWM scheme. The experimental result shows that in RPWM scheme the emission levels are comparatively low.

High gain DC-DC converters are getting popular due to the increased use of renewable energy sources (RESs). Common ground between the input and output, low voltage stress across power switches and high voltage gain at lower duty ratios are desirable features required in any high gain DC-DC converter. DC-DC converters are widely used in DC microgrids to supply power to meet local demands. In this work, a high step-up DC-DC converter is proposed based on the voltage lift (VL) technique using a single power switch. The proposed converter has a voltage gain greater than a traditional boost converter (TBC) and Traditional quadratic boost converter (TQBC). The effect of inductor parasitic resistances on the voltage gain of the converter is discussed. The losses occurring in various components are calculated using PLECS software. To confirm the performance of the converter, a hardware prototype of 200 W is developed in the laboratory. The simulation and hardware results are presented to determine the performance of the converter in both open-loop and closed-loop conditions. In closed-loop operation, a PI controller is used to maintain a constant output voltage when the load or input voltage is changed.

<p>Boost converters of high gain are used for photo voltaic systems to obtain high efficiency. These high gain Boost converters gives increased output voltage for a low input produces high outputs for low input voltage. The High gain boost converters have the following merits. Conduction losses input current ripple and stress across the switches is reduced while the efficiency is increases. The high gain of the converters with the above said merits is obtained by changing the duty cycle of switches accordingly .In this paper a boost converter working with interleaved concept along with a additional Nstage voltage Multiplier has been carried out by simulation using MATLAB/ simulink and the mathematical modeling of various parameters is also done.</p>

Abstract Electric vehicles are the future of mobility solutions. The electric vehicles are driven by an electric motor with the help of a power electronic interface. The power electronic interface needs to be designed in an efficient way both in mechanical and electrical aspects. This paper proposes the concept of design, simulation and analysis of a 10 kW Multi-Device Interleaved DC-DC Boost Converter (MDIBC) to drive a 4 kW Induction Motor. The motor is driven from the MDIBC through an inverter with SPWM technique. The variation in DC link voltage due to motor is controlled and stabilized to give a constant DC of 400 V. MDIBC consists of semi-controlled switches topology excited by Phase Shifted PWM technique to reduce the ripple current in interleaving inductors. The dual loop control methodology using PI controller is adopted to reduce the ripple in input inductor current and DC link voltage. The open loop simulation and closed loop simulation are done in MATLAB Simulink environment. The simulation results show that the overshoots and steady state error in inductor currents and output voltage are reduced in addition with reduction in current and voltage ripples.
