Abstract:The development of power electronics continues to grow rapidly. One type of power electronics is the DC boost converter, which steps up DC voltage to another level. DC boost converters are widely used in many applications; for renewable energy, DC boost converters are very useful for stepping up DC voltage levels from nonconventional energy resources, such as photovoltaics, wind turbines, and fuel cells, to the main system. In this study, we tested a DC boost converter that has been developed to step up 48 VDC… Show more
“…Due to the advancement of technology in the field of renewable energy sources, DC-DC converters largely penetrated in implementing the power electronic systems to generate clean electricity (Andreas et al, 2018;Setiawan and Setiawan, 2017;Shafinaz et al, 2016;Rini et al, 2014). On the other side, support for renewable energy sources is exemplified by microgrids, which combine various renewable energy sources and can be interconnected with the electrical grid (Rahul, 2023;Budiyanto et al, 2011).…”
This paper presents detailed steps to design an effective, robust sliding mode controller for boost converter applications. Before that, the paper models a boost converter circuit during a continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation, obtains the related dynamic equations and explains the variation effects of the circuit parameters on the converter performance. The design steps of the proposed controller are illustrated, and the robustness of the controller is demonstrated in terms of maintaining output voltage stability under input voltage variations and load fluctuations. On the other hand, this paper shows a fast and accurate dynamic response of the load voltage during different reference voltages. Simulation results are collected, analyzed, and demonstrated the robustness and correctness of the proposed controller design.

“…In the emerging paradigm of power electronics, balancing the number of power switches, harmonic distortion with the preferred multilevel inverters and investigation with diverse PWM schemes [8] is important to meet the requirements of the microgrids and nanogrids [9]. Existing inverter topologies for ES focused on the %THD, number of switches and PWM techniques [10], but there is not a method that would attend to the concern of frequent non-critical load changes, in addition to the former phenomena.…”
This paper aims to provide solution to mitigate the voltage variations in critical load caused by the high penetration of DGs into distribution system using Electric Springs (ES). In this regard, there is a need for its exploration with various converter circuits. The improvised topology opens new avenues in the renewable energy powered micro grids for the implementation of ES with a Multi-Level Inverter (MLI) comprising a voltage balancing circuit providing a better quality of power system stability and voltage regulation. This paper captures the voltage dynamics of distribution system dominated by Renewable variability for varying reactive power of the DGs and constantly changing consumer demands. These are analyzed and explained using voltage profiles and power flows in Matlab/Simulink environment. It is practically shown that with the developed ES topology %THD in the system is conspicuously reduced and voltage regulation is seamlessly improved.
