A Hybrid multi converter topology is proposed in this paper, which supplies simultaneous voltage’s for various levels from Renewable energy source. The proposed topology is realized by replacing Multi cuk- buck converter topology. The resultant hybrid multi converter requires less number of switches to operate, as well as various output voltages of different levels without interruption with increased stability. This type of hybrid multi converter with high reliability and high stability are well implemented for loads utilizing various levels of DC voltage. Converter, proposed in this paper is called Hybrid Multi converter topology (HMCT). A study is made on the steady state of the HMCT and a comparative study has been made with the conventional designs. A PI controller based feedback controller is designed to stabilize the various output voltages. A simulated model for the proposed HMCT is used to simulate various output voltages of dissimilar values from mono DC- input. The performance of the converter is demonstrated using simulation model. The proposed design can be protracted to voltage source inverter, multilevel inverter to produce AC output.

<span lang="EN-US">In this paper, a non-isolated multi-level DC-DC (MLDC-DC) smooth buck converter with the LC filter is designed and analyzed. The presented topology can be used in low or medium voltage levels in several applications that use DC storage elements. The use of the proposed multilevel converter topology reduces the voltage stress across the power converter switching elements and facilitates the voltage rating of the switches. The designed LC filter for the multilevel converter is characterized by a small inductor size, which reduces the traditional bulky inductor used in the output of the traditional DC-DC converter. The reduction in the filter size is proportional to the number of the connected voltage sources, it works effectively to reduce ripple in the load currents, and it increases the voltage gain. The intensive analysis of the converter system and the experimental results show a stable operation of the proposed converter with precise output voltage.</span>

Capacitance aging of DC link capacitors in voltage source inverters (VSIs) is a common fault which can lead to instability of the DC voltage. In such a failure state, although the VSI can still work, its performance gradually deteriorates, resulting in a shorter service life of the equipment. Here, an online monitoring and fault diagnosis method for capacitance aging based on evidence reasoning (ER) rule is presented. Features from the DC link voltage data with different levels of capacitance aging are extracted, and data features are generated as pieces of diagnostic evidence, which are then combined according to the ER rule. Finally, capacitance aging fault levels were estimated using the combined results. This method has better diagnostic performance compared to a backpropagation (BP) neural network approach and can be used to flexibly define the relative weighting of each evidence parameter depending on the application. This approach can therefore be widely used for fault diagnosis of an array of different devices.

The rapid development of technology to date has made many electrical and electronic equipment that require a direct current (dc) voltage source whose output voltage can be adjusted to the needs of the user. There are several direct voltage levels that are commonly used by electrical and electronic equipment. To get a direct voltage that can be used for various equipment, a direct voltage source that can be varied according to need is required. One way to convert a dc voltage source to a lower dc voltage source is by using a buck converter circuit. This study proposes a buck type direct current converter is porposed to use the Arduino uno as a PWM signal generator circuit to control to control the 24 volt input voltage. The converter output voltage regulation is implemented through a potentiometer and Arduino programming using the simulink Matlab. In this research, a buck converter is tested with output voltage feedback so that the output voltage remains stable. The result of the test that have been carried out show that the buck converter designed in this study has worked well in accordance with objectives. This can be seen from the buck converter output voltage that is in accordance with the reference voltage using a potentiometer that is included in the simulink Matlab program.

Recently, the penetration of energy storage systems and photovoltaics has been significantly expanded worldwide. In this regard, this paper presents the enhanced operation and control of DC microgrid systems, which are based on photovoltaic modules, battery storage systems, and DC load. DC–DC and DC–AC converters are coordinated and controlled to achieve DC voltage stability in the microgrid. To achieve such an ambitious target, the system is widely operated in two different modes: stand-alone and grid-connected modes. The novel control strategy enables maximum power generation from the photovoltaic system across different techniques for operating the microgrid. Six different cases are simulated and analyzed using the MATLAB/Simulink platform while varying irradiance levels and consequently varying photovoltaic generation. The proposed system achieves voltage and power stability at different load demands. It is illustrated that the grid-tied mode of operation regulated by voltage source converter control offers more stability than the islanded mode. In general, the proposed battery converter control introduces a stable operation and regulated DC voltage but with few voltage spikes. The merit of the integrated DC microgrid with batteries is to attain further flexibility and reliability through balancing power demand and generation. The simulation results also show the system can operate properly in normal or abnormal cases, thanks to the proposed control strategy, which can regulate the voltage stability of the DC bus in the microgrid with energy storage systems and photovoltaics.
