Due to the ability to control several parameters by the cost function and the high dynamic response as well as direct modeling, the model predictive control (MPC) is among the best methods for controlling a modular multilevel converter (MMC). In conventional MPC, the optimal value of the cost function is obtained after calculating all switching states. If the number of sub-modules (SMs) increases, the computational volume also increases exponentially, which makes this method impossible to implement. In this paper, an improved indirect model predictive control (IIMPC) is presented to control the parameters of MMC, such as circulating and load currents and capacitor voltage. Moreover, this method can make the computational volume independent from the number of SMs. On the other hand, to control the voltages of the capacitors, a sorting algorithm has been used. The superiority and privilege of the proposed IIMPC are verified by simulation results of a five-level single-phase MMC with four SMs in each arm.

This paper proposes two new step-up active rectifiers which can improve the output dc voltage gain and so are suitable for use in any application requiring a dc power supply. They also benefit from a low semiconductor voltage stress, a low number of semiconductor devices operating simultaneously, high power factor, acceptable grid side quality and high efficiency. The proposed rectifiers, referred to as type-I and type-II offer a high voltage gain positive and negative dc voltage, respectively. The performance of the converters is evaluated for ac to dc single phase grid connected power supplies. Finally, experimental results for a 300 W, 110 Vrms to ±400 Vdc prototype are provided in an open-loop system. The obtained results substantiate the theoretical analysis and the applicability of these structures. The converters exhibit the capability for ac to dc power conversion and demonstrate a peak efficiency of 96.3 % and 95.6 % in the positive and the negative outputs, respectively.

This paper presents a new type of non-isolated single-switch step-up DC/DC converter with continuous input current, low voltage stress, and soft-switching performance, and modular scalability. To achieve an ultra-high voltage gain without a large duty cycle, a Three-Winding Coupled-Inductor (TWCI) along with a unit of Voltage Multiplier Cell (VMC) and Voltage Multiplier Rectifier (VMR) are employed. The energy stored in the leakage inductor is recycled by a regenerative clamp capacitor, limiting the maximum voltage stress across the single power switch. Besides, Zero Current Switching (ZCS) at the turn-on time of the power switch is achieved, and by applying a Quasi-Resonance (QR) operation, the switch turn-off current is also reduced significantly. With the help of the leakage inductor of the TWCI, all diodes can operate under the ZCS condition, which eliminates the reverse recovery losses in the proposed converter. Therefore, the introduced circuit can provide an ultra-high voltage gain under high efficiency. Steady-state analysis, comprehensive comparisons with other related converters, and design considerations are discussed. Finally, a 160 W sample prototype with 200 V output voltage is implemented to justify the theoretical analysis's correctness.
本文提出了一种新型无隔离单开关升压DC/DC变换器,具有输入电流连续、电压应力低、软开关性能和模块化可扩展性。为了在没有大占空比的情况下实现超高电压增益,采用了三绕组耦合电感器(TWCI)以及电压倍增单元(VMC)和电压倍增整流器(VMR)。存储在泄漏电感中的能量由再生钳位电容器回收,限制了单个电源开关的最大电压应力。实现了电源开关导通时的零电流开关(Zero Current Switching, ZCS),并通过准共振(Quasi-Resonance, QR)运算,大大减小了开关关断电流。在TWCI漏电电感的帮助下,所有二极管都可以在ZCS条件下工作,从而消除了所提出的变换器中的反向恢复损耗。因此,所介绍的电路可以在高效率的情况下提供超高的电压增益。讨论了稳态分析、与其他相关变流器的综合比较以及设计注意事项。最后,以输出电压为200v、功率为160w的样机为例,验证了理论分析的正确性。

This paper proposes a novel Symmetric Multilevel Flying Capacitor Inverter (SMFCI) structure using a two dc sources and four capacitors. The proposed single-phase 13-level inverter has the capability to increase the output voltage with fewer semiconductor components compared to the modern structures. The Phase Disposition Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (PDSPWM) strategy is utilized to produce switching signals. Using this modulation scheme facilitate the SMFCI with self-balancing capability of voltage of capacitors. The SMFCI is also capable of transferring reactive power through R-L loads without any limitations. Furthermore, the inverter can properly generate 5-level, 9-level and 11-level output voltage for different applications. Moreover, a comparison with modern 13-level inverters is provided in terms of the number active and passive components in order to show the advantages of the proposed structure. The performance of the converter is illustrated through simulations for different operating conditions for resistive and resistive-inductive loads.

This paper peruses the voltage control of a boost DC-DC converter. The hybrid model of the converter is utilized to introduce a new switching control law, which regulates the output voltage of the converter. In this switching control law an average dwell time constraint is considered. This suggestion guarantees the exponential stability of a desired output voltage value. Furthermore, in the proposed switching control law, there exist no Zeno solutions, since the existence of the average dwell time constraint. Moreover, in power converters, two significant concerns are switching loss and electromagnetic interference resulting from numerous rates of variations of voltage and current. Therefore, the salient features of the proposed controller are the mitigation of the switching rate as well as the regulation of the output voltage. Finally, simulation experiments are followed through on a boost converter to validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control strategy.

Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) play an essential role in power conversion for medium and high voltage industrial applications. These types of converters use many sensors for the process of measuring and sorting the voltage of their capacitors, but this increases cost and hardware complexity, as well as decreases reliability. One of the most widely used methods for voltage sorting of capacitors in MMCs is based on current measuring and detecting the current sign of each arm. This paper uses the capacitor voltages estimation scheme by the Kalman filter (KF) algorithm at each sampling time. Moreover, with the difference between the total voltage of the capacitors in each arm during two consecutive processes, their sorting is done without the current sensor. Therefore, by the proposed scheme, current sensors are entirely removed from the arms, and the MMC control process is implemented by only two voltage sensors in a phase branch. The simulation results in the MATLAB Simulink environment confirm the accuracy of the proposed method.
