The document describes the experimental validation of a 4-phase floating-interleaving boost converter (FIBC) for fuel cell applications. The FIBC exhibits low input current ripple and distributed power losses. A 100W prototype was constructed using an Arduino microcontroller to generate gate signals. Experimental results validated the operation of the 4-phase FIBC, showing tight voltage regulation under load changes and low fuel cell current ripple that is 1/4 of the inductor ripple currents. The FIBC provides advantages over conventional converters for fuel cell applications by reducing component ratings and increasing reliability.
Review of Integrated Power Factor Correction (PFC) Boost converter topologies...IJARBEST JOURNAL
This paper provides a review of various Power Factor Correction (PFC) boost
converter topologies suitable for telecoms. A novel integrated PFC topology is proposed which acts
as a backup power supply for telecommunication systems. The advantage of the proposed circuit is
that it operates based on soft switching principle thereby reducing the switching losses in the
converter. The topologies analyzed in this paper are conventional average current mode control
boost PFC, bridgeless boost PFC, semi-bridgeless boost PFC, totem-pole bridgeless boost PFC and
proposed integrated boost PFC. All these topology studies are investigated by carrying out the
simulation of the converter circuits using PSIM software. A detailed comparison of all the
topologies have been done and they are compared in terms of supply power factor, supply current
THD and displacement factor. From the results, it is inferred that the proposed integrated PFC
provides a reduced supply current THD and improved power factor. The results are validated.

A Low Cost Single-Switch Bridgeless Boost PFC ConverterIJPEDS-IAES
This paper proposes the single-switch bridgeless boost power factor correction (PFC) converter to achieve high efficiency in low cost. The proposed converter utilizes only one active switching device forPFC operation as well as expecting higher efficiency than typical boost PFC converters. On the other hand, the implementation cost is less than traditional bridgeless boost PFC converters, in where two active switching deivces are necessary. The operational principle, the modeling, and the control scheme of the proposed converter arediscussed in detail. In order to verify the operation of the proposed converter, a 500W switching model is built in PSIM software package. The simulation results show that the proposed converter perfectly achieves PFC operation with only a single active switch.

New Topology for Transformer less Single Stage -Single Switch AC/DC ConverterIJMER
This paper presents a transformer less single-stage single-switch ac/dc converter suitable for universal line applications (90–270 Vrms). The topology consists of a buck-type power-factor correction (PFC) cell with a buck–boost dc/dc cell and part of the input power is directly coupled to the output after the first power processing. With this direct power transfer and sharing capacitor voltages, the converter is able to achieve efficient power conversion, high power factor, low voltage stress on intermediate bus (less than 120 V) and low output voltage without a high step-down transformer. The absence of transformer reduces the size of the circuit , component counts and cost of the converter. Unlike most of the boost-type PFC cell, the main switch of the proposed converter only handles the peak inductor current of dc/dc cell rather than the superposition of both inductor currents. Tight voltage regulation is provided by using PID controller. Detailed analysis and design procedures and simulation of the proposed circuit are given .
Now day’s the power factor has become a major problem in power system to improve the power quality of the grid, as power factor is affected on the grid due to the nonlinear loads connected to it. Single phase bridgeless AC/DC power factor correction (PFC) topology to improve the power factor as well as the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the utility grid is proposed. By removing the input bridge in conventional PFC converters, the control circuit is simplified; the total harmonics distortion (THD) and power factor (PF) are improved. The PI controller operates in two loops one is the outer control loop which calculates the reference current through LC filter and signal processing. Inner current loop generates PWM switching signals through the PI controller. The output of the proposed PFC topology is verified for prototype using MATLAB circuit simulations. The experimental system is developed, and the simulation results are obtained.

AN ACTIVE PFC WITH FLYBACK DESIGN FOR INTELLIGENCE IN STREET LIGHT APPLICATIONJournal For Research
As the requirement of energy demand is increasing due to rapid industrial development, it is necessary to meet the growing demand of energy. This can be achieved in two ways: find alternate resource to supply power or energy; or reduce the energy consumption of present resources available.

Three Phase Single Stage Isolated Cuk based PFC ConverterAsoka Technologies
In this paper, analysis and design of a three phase isolated Cuk based power factor correction (PFC) converter has been proposed. The proposed converter is operated in discontinuous output inductor current mode (DOICM) to achieve PFC at ac input. This avoids the inner current control loop which further eliminates the sensing of current. This makes the system more reliable and robust. The converter requires only one simple voltage control loop for output voltage regulation and all the power switches are driven by the same gate signal which simplifies the gate driver circuit. The detailed operation of the converter and design calculations are presented. And also a small signal model of the converter by using CIECE approach is presented to aid the controller design. The experimental results from a 2-kW laboratory prototype with 208-V line-to-line input voltage, 400-V output voltage are presented to confirm the operation of the proposed converter. An input power factor of 0.999, an input current total harmonic distortion of as low as 4.06% and a high conversion efficiency of 95.1% are achieved from laboratory prototype.

This paper presents a power factor corrected (PFC) bridgeless (BL) buck–boost converter-fed brushless direct

control of the BLDC motor by controlling the dc link voltage of the voltage source inverter (VSI) is used with a
single voltage sensor. This facilitates the operation of VSI at fundamental frequency switching by using the
electronic commutation of the BLDC motor which offers reduced switching losses. A BL configuration of the
buck–boost converter is proposed which offers the elimination of the diode bridge rectifier, thus reducing the
conduction losses associated with it. A PFC BL buck–boost converter is designed to operate in discontinuous
inductor current mode (DICM) to provide an inherent PFC at ac mains. The performance of the proposed drive
is evaluated over a wide range of speed control and varying supply voltages (universal ac mains at 90–265 V)
with improved power quality at ac mains. The obtained power quality indices are within the acceptable limits of
international power quality standards such as the IEC 61000-3-2. The performance of the proposed drive is

In this project qualitative analysis and controller design of a TI-SEPIC converter for optimal utilization photovoltaic power is presented. This converter is essentially combination of conventional buck and SEPIC converters sharing common components. On the account of the integration load side only one inductor is sufficient enough for performing the power conversion in both Buck and SEPIC converters. Here the function of the lower SEPIC converter is to extract maximum power from the PV and feeds into the load, while the remaining load power demand is supplied by the dc source through a voltage-mode controlled buck converter. Proposed integrated Converter performance is verified through MAT/SIM software simulations and then verified with measurement results obtained the laboratory prototype converter system.

Input switched closed-loop single phase SEPIC controlled rectifier with impro...IJECEIAES
DC power supply has become the driving source for some essential modern applications. Thereby, DC power conditioning has become a significant issue for engineers. Typically used rectifiers associated with a bridge structure is nonlinear in nature. Thereby, the current at input side of the rectifier contains harmonics, which also flow through the power line. The presence of harmonics causes several interruptions and reduce power quality. In this regard, a new close loop SEPIC controlled rectifier is proposed in this paper. The conventional scheme is arranged with a rectifier connected to a DC-DC converter, which is an open loop system. Consequently, such system cannot regulate voltage at load varying condition. The proposed SEPIC controlled rectifier can regulate voltage under load varying condition for a wide range. Additionally, the performance in terms of total harmonic distortion (THD) of input current and power factor at AC side are also within satisfactory range for the closed loop configuration. The controlled rectifier has four operating phases associated with switching states and input voltage polarity. The close loop configuration also incorporates a current and a voltage loop at the feedback path. The comparative studies have been performed among the proposed closed loop construction, the open-loop structure as well as the conventional construction. The effectiveness of the proposed controlled rectifier is verified in terms of THD and input power factor considering the results obtained from simulation.

Closed Loop Analysis of Bridgeless SEPIC Converter for Drive ApplicationIJPEDS-IAES
In this paper closed loop analysis of Single phase AC-DC Bridgeless Single
Ended Primary Inductance Converter (SEPIC) for Power Factor Correction
(PFC) rectifier is analyzed. In this topology the absence of an input diode
bridge and the due to presence of two semiconductor switches in the current
flowing path during each switching cycle which will results in lesser
conduction losses and improved thermal management compared to the
conventional converters. In this paper the operational principles, Frequency
analysis, and design equations of the proposed converter are described in
detail. Performance of the proposed SEPIC PFC rectifier is carried out using
Matlab Simulink software and results are presented.
A new closed loop AC to DC ĈUK converter is presented in this paper. The conventional ĈUK AC to DC converter has no feedback circuit. Thereby, the output voltage of the converter changes while changing the load. The proposed closed loop converter can regulate voltage with the variation of load over a wide range. Moreover, the power factor and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the supply side current found quite satisfactory from this closed loop ĈUK converter. The converter operates in four steps with a different combination of voltage polarities and switching states. The feedback path consists of a voltage control loop and a current control loop. The closed loop ĈUK converter in this study is compared with the open loop version. Additionally, the comparison is made with the conventional converter of the same topology. The effectiveness in terms of power factor and THD of the proposed converter is verified using simulation results.
DC-DC converters are devices which convert direct current (DC) from one voltage level to another by changing the duty cycle of the main switches in the circuits. These converters are widely used in switched mode power supplies and it is important to supply a constant output voltage, regardless of disturbances on the input voltage. In this work, the performance of three different converters such as Single-Ended Primary-Inductance Converter (SEPIC), Luo converter and ZETA converter have been analyzed. Further, the parameters values such as ripple voltage, switching losses and efficiency of the proposed three different converters were compared with each other. Also, the simulation work has been carried out using MATLAB/SIMULINK software. From the comparison of obtained results, it is observed that the ZETA converter has high significance than the SEPIC and Luo converter.
Design and Simulation of Efficient DC-DC Converter Topology for a Solar PV Mo...Sajin Ismail
Modulated Integrated Converter systems are considered to be the new and global turning point in the field of
Solar PV systems. These converters are highly recognised for its modular size and compact nature and they are supposed to
be attached directly with each PV module and since one PV module is having the power rating of a few watts ranging from
0-500Ws, the design rating would be in the same range and thus the most vital condition in such a design is efficiency
under these relatively low loads. In this paper an isolated interleaved boost converter topology is considered in the DC-DC
section and which is designed and simulated for a specific power rating (250W) and the efficiency is analysed with varying
load conditions and compared with the target efficiency of the system.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

input current ripple cancelation occurs at specific duty cycles,
which are multiple duties of 1/N, such as 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 in a
4-phase FIBC. On the other hand, it is clear that the input current
ripple is always less than the inductor current ripple.

The validation of the performances of control is given through
the following results of simulation:
Fig. 7 illustrates the behavior of controlled system with an
output voltage reference Vdc=40V (which represents the DC bus
voltage) and successive load step changes, the resistance can
change between 16Ω and 32Ω yielding variation of 50% of the
power of the DC bus. As it can be seen, despite the load resistor
uncertainty, the controller behavior is satisfactory.
The curve in blue shows a tight voltage regulation under step
load changes.
The curve in red shows the change of operation point of the fuel
cell voltage, showing its high dependence on the current.
The curve in green shows the load current.
Fig. 8 shows the FC current, and inductor currents of the 4-
phase FIBC. One can observe that the FC ripple current is 1/4 the
individual inductor ripple currents. So, the FC ripple current of the
4-phase FIBC converter is nearly zero. It means that the FC mean
current is close to the FC RMS current. In addition, it can be seen
the FC ripple frequency is 4 times the switching frequency of 10-
kHz.

5. VI. EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION
A 100W, 20V/40V prototype was constructed to validate the
operation of the 4-phase FIBC converter. An Arduino card was
suitably programmed to generate the gate pulse at a frequency of
10 kHz.
Because of the non-availability of a fuel cell on the level of the
Laboratory, we realized an emulator of its characteristic.
The emulator is a buck converter controlled in voltage and
which reproduces the same characteristic voltage-current of the
FC. The output current of this buck is measured to obtain a
reference voltage using a model of the FC is developed and stored
previously in the memory of an Arduino card DUE. The regulation
of this voltage gives the control signal of the buck.
Figure 8: Photograph of the emulator.
To evaluate the performances of the control, an experimental
set up of an emulator of PEMFC associated to a 4-phase FIBC
converter was applied. The experimental tests have been carried
out by connecting the DC bus to an adjustable resistor. The
Arduino DUE card is used to create and ensured a shift of the
PWM signals generated. Fig. 9 shows an example of four shifted
control signals of a quarter of period for 4-phase-FIBC
Fig. 10 shows The DC bus voltage regulation under load
changes.
The curve in green shows the load current [1A/Div].
Fig.9. Four shifted control signals of a quarter of period.
Fig. 10. The DC bus voltage regulation under load changes.
Fig. 11. Inductor currents and PEMFC emulator current.
On the basis of the figure Fig.10, it can be observed that the
controller of the converter offers good performances in terms of
stability and precision. Concerning the response time, it can be
observed that the DC bus voltage follows its reference perfectly
Fig. 11 shows the experimental results of the PEMFC emulator
current and the inductor currents waveforms [1A/Div].
During the permanent mode represented by Fig.11, we can
observe on the one hand that the currents of phase are perfectly
shifted as wished by the objectives of the control and on the other
hand, it can be observed that the ripple of the current of the FC is
very weak, which confirms the advantage of this topology.
The experimental results are in agreement with those obtained
with theoretically simulation.
VII. CONCLUSION
In this paper the four-phase FIBC has been designed,
simulated and experimentally verified. This is an interesting
alternative dc-dc structure to the IBC basic converter because it’s
provides significant part count reduction, size and eventually
converter cost without penalizing performance.
Converter design guidelines have been provided and
implementation of 100 W 4-phase FIBC has also been performed,
including the power converter and the Arduino card based control
system. Experimental validation has also been reported showing
the most interesting converter features, gate driving scheme, main
inductor and input currents, dynamic response and efficiency
measurements.
Finally, because of its interesting features, such as low input
current ripple, high current capabilities, modularity, power losses
distribution and high efficiency, this converter could adapt
attractively for medium and high power fuel cell dc-dc converters.
