The converter stages analysis, DC voltage gains expressions, and voltage/current stresses in CCM are presented. The proposed converter advantages are new modulation, the current ripple frequency and voltage in two ports is four times higher than the switching frequency, volume and weight reduction of passive elements, and balanced current distribution between the legs. Besides, the single-phase transformer that provides galvanic isolation between the DC bus and the battery or supercapacitor. An experimental prototype is implemented in the laboratory to validate the mathematical and theoretical analysis for both energy flow senses under the test conditions at converter-rated power 2.5kW, Low voltage side 180V, and high voltage side 380V.

The presented converter is able to supply a 200-V dc link using a battery bank and a PV array and, depending on the solar irradiance level, it is also possible to charge the batteries by using a single-stage approach. Moreover, all switches of the converter are able to operate under zero voltage switching (ZVS) condition over a wide operation range. The static gain and experimental results on a 500-W laboratory prototype are presented in order to support the theoretical assumptions.

The high voltage gain converter is far suitable for applications where a high step-up voltage is required, as in some renewable energy systems, which use, for example, photovoltaic panels and/or fuel cells. Besides, in order to guarantee small switching losses and, consequently, a high efficiency, a non- dissipative soft-switching cell with auxiliary commutation circuit is used. Thus, a large step-up voltage, low switching stress, small switching losses, and high efficiency are expected from this topology. In order to verify its effectiveness, experimental waveforms from the high voltage gain converter operating with hard-switching and soft-switching are compared. Also, waveforms from the soft-switching cell are presented and analyzed. Theoretical analysis, operation principle and topology details are also presented and studied.

The synthesis methodology of the GCF converter uses full-bridge sub-modules (SMs) combined with the interleaving and cascading concepts. The time-dependent equations represented in terms of current and voltage magnitudes are obtained. Thus, it is possible to derive a comprehensive control system approach from the model. An improved control strategy provides power balancing while using the circulating current to balance the dc-link voltages and ensuring proper current sharing. A small-scale laboratory prototype of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) rated at 2.2 kVA/311 V validates the theoretical assumptions and statements.

The presented topology is suitable for the new concept of distributed generation, or smart-grids, interconnecting various sources and loads, controlling the power flow between them, with only one converter. The phase-shift angle between the primary and secondary side controls the power flow of the converter which is based on the three-phase version of the dual active bridge and associated with the three-state-switching cell. Therefore, a center tap is used in the secondary windings as well as a modified modulation in order to avoid the low frequency content in the third port.

The proposed system consists of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, a battery bank, and two full-bridge converters working as a single integrated structure. A strategy is also proposed aiming at improved utilization of the ac utility grid through the power flow control between the electronic converter ports, which is performed according to some system parameters such as power levels generated by the PV modules and weather conditions. In order to achieve high power processing capability with low losses at high frequency, three-state switching cells and interleaved converters are employed. The main characteristics and operating stages regarding the system are introduced. Simulation results are presented to validate the control strategy, while the rms ac voltage is 220 V (60 Hz) and the voltages across the dc are 400 V, 96 V and 48 V, considering that the switching frequency is 50 kHz and the rated power is 1500 W.

When compared with the traditional cascaded full-bridge (CFB) converter, the GCF topologies present the advantages of reduced current and voltage stresses on the semiconductors, and flexible design. Thereby, the resulting structures become an alternative solution for high-power applications involving high current and high voltage levels. The generalized analysis involving design guidelines for the synthesis of each topology, the system model, and possible modulation strategies are described in detail. A comparative study with the CFB-based topologies shows that the introduced structures are capable of achieving improved performance in terms of reduced losses in the power semiconductors and lower device count. A small-scale laboratory prototype of a static synchronous compensator rated at 2.2 kVA/311 V is implemented to validate the design assumptions considering the steady-state and transient performances.
