Some advantages of the SEPIC buck-boost converter makes it stand out from other configurations. It makes possible to obtain from a unipolar input voltage both unipolar and bipolar output voltage with a good symmetry between positive and negative output voltages. It also provides efficient performance as well as circuit simplicity in unipolar and bipolar topology owing to the use of a single switch which can be operated by available integrated controllers of boost converters. The article considers the topologies of a SEPIC buck-boost converter built according to the traditional scheme (with two inductors) and according to the scheme on magnetically coupled chokes. To analyze the processes and factors affecting the converter operation efficiency, a circuit simulation has been done using the Electronics Workbench. The results of the investigation of a pulsed DC converter of input voltage to unipolar or bipolar output voltage using SEPIC buck-boost topology are presented. The circuit simulation enables to specify the switching process characteristics, to estimate the ripple level of the input current and its spectral characteristics, and to develop recommendations concerning the choice of parameters of converters elements and generation of control signals. Based on the simulation results, the load, control, and noise characteristics of the converter are obtained. The level of symmetry of positive and negative output voltage is investigated for the converter on discrete and magnetically coupled chokes. The assessment of the effect of leakage inductance on converters with magnetic coupling of inductive elements is given. Examples of practical implementation of converters built according to the SEPIC topology are shown. It is found that the resistance of the choke windings, which is less than 0.5 Ohm, has practically no effect on the efficiency of the converter, retaining the factor of about 0.9 in a wide range of load currents, while the main source of conversion losses is a passive diode switch. Synchronous converter circuits of a number of manufacturers are more efficient, but require more complex controllers for active switches with elements for protection against through currents.

A two-stage converter connects the input grid voltage to a pack of batteries with the voltage varying between 48-400 V, depending on the size and the range of the vehicle, with battery-operated electric and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). This article offers a unique built-in converter that can interface with both high voltage (HV) and low voltage (LV) batteries. For all car architectures a universal charger that can accommodate this wide range of battery pack voltages is suitable. The novel integrated buck and boost converter (IBBC) is the proposed converter supplied using AC-DC driver at the front end mode. The main objective of this paper is to show a universal battery charger for an EV with a high power factor (PFC) and a small total harmonic distortion (THD) in addition to the high power density. A PFC converter is formed without any auxiliary circuit to balance the output voltage dependence of the battery against fluctuations in the ac grid input voltage, which in turn reduces the cost of additional circuit. A closed loop controller scheme is used to adjust for variations in the broad range output voltage and load. The proposed topology’s detailed operation is simulated using the MATLAB/Simulink software and achieved a THD of 1.18%.

<span lang="EN-US">This paper deals with voltage tracking control of DC- DC boost converter based on Fuzzy neural network. Maintaining the output voltage of the boost converter in some applications are very important, especially for sudden change in the load or disturbance in the input voltage. Traditional control methods usually have some disadvantages in eliminating these disturbances, as the speed of response to these changes is slow and thus affect the regularity of the output voltage of the converter. The strategy is to sense the output voltage across the load and compare it with the reference voltage to ensure that it follows the required reference voltages. In this research, fuzzy neural was introduced to achieve the purpose of voltage tracking by training the parameter of controller based on previous data. These data sets are the sensing input voltage of the converter and the value of the output load changes. To establish the performance of proposed method, MATLAB/SIMULINK environments are presented, simulation results shows that proposed method works more precisely, faster in response and elimination the disturbances</span>

DC-DC converters are playing an important role in designing of Electric Vehicles, integration of solar cells and other DC applications. Contemporary high power applications use multilevel converters that have multi stage outputs for integrating low voltage sources. Conventional DC-DC converters use single source and have complex structure while using for Hybrid Energy Systems. This paper proposes a multi-input, multi-output DC-DC converter to produce constant output voltage at different input voltage conditions. This topology is best suitable for hybrid power systems where the output voltage is variable due to environmental conditions. It reduces the requirement of magnetic components in the circuit and also reduces the switching losses. The proposed topology has two parts namely multi-input boost converter and level-balancing circuit. Boost converter increases the input voltage and Level Balancing Circuit produce Multi output. Equal values of capacitors are used in Level Balancing Circuit to ensure the constant output voltage at all output stages. The operating modes of each part are given and the design parameters of each part are calculated. Performance of the proposed topology is verified using MATLAB/Simulink simulation which shows the correctness of the analytical approach.

Vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) can be operated in any direction of wind speed, but it has low rotation. To improve the performance of VAWT in which low rotation, this paper presents a simple control strategy of VAWT using a DC-DC boost converter to tap constant voltage in a standalone application.

The PI controller obtains the feedback from the output voltage of the boost converter to produce the correct pulse width modulation (PWM) duty cycle and trigger the metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) following the reference voltage of the turbine. This system has suppressed the value of overshoot and increased the efficiency of wind turbines as 34 %.

In this research project, an AC Cûk voltage regulator has been proposed for maintaining constant voltage across the load during wide range of input voltage fluctuations. The proposed AC Ck voltage regulator made of practical IGBT switches has been investigated for both manual and automatic control circuit. A fraction of the output voltage is taken as the input voltage of the control circuit and produce the error signal if any changes occur in the output voltage. The modified error signal is used to make PWM signals for switching devices as per output voltage of regulator. The PWM controls the ON/OFF time (Duty cycle) of switching devices (IGBTs) of the proposed regulator. As a result the regulator is maintaining a constant voltage across the load during any change in supply voltage. The simulation waveforms and the calculated total harmonics distortion (THD) values are compared with previously studied AC Buck-Boost regulator. The observed simulated waveforms of output voltage, output current and input current and THD values have been improved in case of proposed AC Cûk voltage regulator.
