This paper proposed a novel single-stage square wave buck-boost inverter (SWBBI). The proposed inverter is designed by using dual buck-boost converters. The input DC voltage of the proposed inverter can be either stepped-down or stepped-up in square output voltage waveform depending on the duty-cycle applied for each buck-boost converter. This characteristic is not found in conventional voltage source inverter where the output voltage is always lower than the input DC voltage. The proposed inverter is analyzed by a series of simulations using MATLAB/Simulink as well as experiments by using different values of duty-cycle. A conclusion about the feasibility of the proposed inverter is given by comparing the simulation and experimental results.

Direct current (dc) voltage sources are one of the voltage sources most widely used for various purposes. Dc voltage can be obtained from a dc generator or by converting an ac voltage into a dc voltage using a power converter. There are several dc voltage levels that are commonly used by electrical and electronic equipment. To get a dc voltage that can be used for various equipment, then a dc voltage source must be varied according to the required. One way to get a variable dc voltage is to use a dc-dc converter. This research proposes a dc-dc boost converter that can increase the dc voltage with varying outputs. The boost converter is proposed using Arduino Uno as a controller with an input voltage of 12 volts. The converter output voltage regulation is implemented through Arduino programming using Matlab simulink. The experimental results show that the boost converter designed in this study has worked well as intended. This can be seen from the boost converter output voltage which is in accordance with the reference voltage entered in the Matlab simulink program

An 11-level switched-capacitor multilevel inverter (SCMLI) with 2.5 times boosting feature is presented in this paper. It can produce an 11-level output voltage waveform by utilizing 14 switches, 3 capacitors, 2 diodes, and 1 DC source. Only nine driver circuits are needed as the topology has three pairs of complementary switches and two bidirectional switches. It has inherent capacitor self-balancing property as the capacitors are connected across the DC voltage source during several states within a fundamental cycle to charge the capacitors to the input voltage. A detailed comparison shows the effectiveness of the proposed topology in terms of the number of switches, number of capacitors, number of sources, total standing voltage (TSV), efficiency, and boosting ability with the state-of-art recently proposed circuits. Subsequently, the performance of the proposed SCMLI is validated experimentally utilizing the nearest level control (NLC), a fundamental frequency-based switching technique.

Voltage testing, on hybrid power plants (PLTH), uses two sources that are solar/solar power plants and waterwheel power plants. Supporting components to produce electric energy conversion one of them is boostconverter which is the main subject.

Five-level inverter is widely used in many industrial applications, for example as a three-phase electric motor drive, PLTS, etc. This inverter works using two separated DC voltage sources in order to form different voltage level. Five-level inverter using one DC voltage source will be more efficient. A DC-DC boost converter on Voltage Doubler type is used in order to solve the problem. The focus of this research is on controlling the DC-DC boost converter on Voltage Doubler type. The switch control method uses a shifted pulse width modulation of 1800. To get a suitable output voltage, an output voltage control system is applied. A proportional and integral type control is implemented using STM32F1038CT microcontroller.  The output voltage controlled DC-DC boost converter is validated through computational simulation with Power Simulator software and as the final step will be implemented on hardware in the laboratory. Based on the simulation and implementation, Voltage-Doubler type of DC-DC boost converter is able to produce the required output voltage, which is two times greater than the conventional DC-DC boost converter output voltage.

voltage sags represent the greatest threat to the sensitive loads of industrial consumers, the microprocessor based-loads, and any electrical sensitive components. In this paper, a special topology is proposed to mitigate deep and long duration sags by using a modified AC to AC boost converter with a new control method. A boost converter is redesigned with a single switch to produces an output voltage that is linearly proportional to the duty cycle of the switch. On the other hand, the proposed control system is based on introducing a mathematical model that relates the missing voltage to the duty cycle of the boost converter switch. The simulation results along with the system analysis are presented to confirm the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed circuit.

Photo-voltaic (PV) power harvest can have decent efficiency when dealing with high power. When operating with a DC–DC boost converter during the low-power harvest, its efficiency and output voltage are degraded due to excessive losses in the converter components. The objective of this paper is to present a systematic approach to designing an efficient low-power photo-voltaic harvesting topology with an improved efficiency and output voltage. The proposed topology uses a boost converter with and extra inductor in recycled and synchro-recycled techniques in continuous current mode (CCM). By exploiting the non-linearity of the PV cell, it reduces the power loss and using the current stored in the second inductor, it enhances the output voltage and output power simultaneously. Further, by utilizing the Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistor’s (MOSFET) body diode as a switch, it maintains a minimum hardware, and introduces a negligible impact on the reliability. The test results of the proposed boost converters show that it achieves a decent power and output voltage. Theoretical and experimental results of the proposed topologies with a tested prototype are presented along with a strategy to maximize power and voltage conversion efficiencies and output voltage.
