This thesis presents High frequency Soft Switching DC-DC boost Converter. The circuit consists of a general Boost Converter with an additional resonant circuit which has a switch, inductor, capacitor and a diode.In general Boost Converter circuits have snubber circuits where switching losses are dissipated in external passive resistors; which is known as hard switching. As the switching frequency of PWM converters is increased its switching losses and conduction losses also increases. This restricts the use of PWM technique.

Speed Control Of Separately Excited Dc Motor Using A High Efficiency Flyback ...IJERA Editor
This paper deals with Speed control of separately excited DC motor using flyback converter with a new non complementary active clamp control method to achieve soft switching and high efficiency for heavy motor load and light load conditions. This is quite attractive for low power application with universal ac inputs, such as external adaptors. With the proposed control technique, the energy in the leakage inductance can be fully recycled. The soft switching can be achieved for the main switch and the absorbed leakage energy is transferred to the output and input side. In the Proposed model the resistive and DC motor is connected to flyback converter and it is simulated with different nominal voltages and rated speed is controlled at different levels for the N-type active clamp flyback converter and P-type active clamp flyback converter respectively. N-type active clamp flyback converter is suitable for high speed variation applications and P-type active clamp flyback converter is suitable for low speed variation applications.
Design & Implementation of Zero Voltage Switching Buck ConverterIJERA Editor
Zero voltage switching (ZVS) buck converter is more preferable over hard switched buck converter for low power, high frequency DC-DC conversion applications. In Zero voltage switching converter, turn on & turn off of a switch occurs at zero voltage that results in lower switching losses. In this converter soft switching is achieved by using resonant components. The optimal values of resonant components are determined by using electric functions derived from circuit configuration. This type of soft switched resonant converter offers very low electromagnetic interference (EMI).This study presents the circuit configuration with least components to realize highly efficient zero voltage switching resonant converter. It’s feasibility is confirmed with the developed proto type model and experimental results are verified.

A Passive Lossless Soft-Switching Snubber for Telecom Power SuppliesIJTET Journal
At present the majority of power supplies or power converters use switch-mode technology. Higher switching frequencies allow reduction of the magnetic component sizes with PWM switching converters but cause higher switching losses and greater electro-magnetic interference. To reduce these switching losses active or passive soft-switching methods are used in various applications.This paper presents a passive lossless soft-switching snubber for telecom power supplies. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the validity and features of the snubber
NON-ISOLATED SOFT SWITCHING DC-DC CONVERTER AND LOAD AT FULL RANGE OF ZVS IAEME Publication
A non isolated soft switching DC–DC converter and load at full range of zero-voltage
switching (ZVS) characteristic is proposed. The proposed converter consists of an auxiliary circuit,
an inductor, two switches, and 2 diodes to achieving high efficiency at full range of load. At low
and heavy loads, ZVS of switching device is achieved by energy storing component. The inductor
energy stored varies with load and hence results in minimizes conduction loss. This leads to
switching of device for full range of load. The proposed DC - DC converter achieves high
efficiency as switching loss is reduced due to soft switching and ZVS operation which severe to
reduce conduction loss. The efficiency is improved about 4% in boost mode (2.5% in buck mode) at
full range of load. To verify the performance of the proposed converter, experimental results
prototype are presented.

A Novel Approach for Interference Suppression Using a Improved LMS Based Adap...IJRST Journal
A novel adaptive beam forming technique is proposed for wireless communication applications based on the minimum bit error rate (MBER) criterion known as LMS algorithm. LMS (Least Mean Square) algorithm is used for steering the antenna beam electronically. Using the Rectangular, Hamming, Kaiser, Chebyshev windows both the block-data and sample-by-sample adaptive implementations of the MBER solution are developed. By making use of window techniques half power beam width of an antenna is enhanced using Matlab simulation. The gain of the system will definitely improve the performance of CDMA based system, where the number of interferes is quite large and helps to increase the spectral efficiency of wireless communication systems. Any beam former that can depress the large number of interferers will improve the capacity and performance. Such beam formers are called smart antennas. They improve signal to interference ratio (SIR) of the communication system efficiently by forming narrow beam towards desired user and low side towards undesired users. Smart antennas offer a broad range of ways to improve wireless system performance.
Support Vector Machine for Wind Speed PredictionIJRST Journal
The energy is a vital input for the social and economic development of any nation. With increasing agricultural and industrial activities in the country, the demand for energy is also increasing. The increasing use of natural and renewable energy sources is needed to take the burden of our current dependency on fossil fuels. Development and analysis of renewable energy models helps utility in energy forecasting, planning, research and policy making. The wind power is a clean, inexhaustible, and almost a free source of energy. But the integration of wind parks with the power grid has resulted in many challenges for the utility in terms of commitment and control of power plants. As wind speed and wind direction fluctuate frequently, the accurate long-term and short-term forecasting of wind speed is important for ascertaining the wind power generation availability. To deal with wind speed forecasting, many methods have been developed such as physical method, which use lots of physical considerations to reach the best forecasting precision and other is the statistical method, which specializes in finding the relationship of the measured power data. Wind speed can be predicted by using time series analysis, artificial neural network, Kalman Filter method, linear prediction method, spatial correlation models and wavelet, also by using the support vector machines. In this paper, the SVM is used for day ahead prediction of wind speed using historical data of wind park. In this paper Support Vector Machine (SVM) results are compared with feedforward Backpropagation neural network. It is observed that the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) by SVM method is around 7% and correlation coefficient is close to 1. This justifies the ability of SVM for wind speed prediction task than Backpropagation algorithm.
Performance Evaluation of Computationally Efficient Energy Detection Based Sp...IJRST Journal
The rapid growth of bandwidth demanding wireless technologies has led to the problem of spectrum scarcity. However, studies show that licensed spectrum is underutilized. Cognitive radio technology promises a solution to the problem by allowing unlicensed users, access to the licensed bands opportunistically. A prime component of the cognitive radio technology is spectrum sensing. Many spectrum sensing techniques have been developed to sense the presence or not of a licensed user. This paper evaluates the performance of the energy detection based spectrum sensing technique in noisy, fading, jamming, interference environments. Both single user detection and cooperative detection situations were investigated. Closed form solutions for the probabilities of detection and false alarm were derived. The analytical results were varied by numerical computations using Monte Carlo method with MATLAB. The performance of the computationally efficient energy detection (CE-ED) techniques were evaluated by use of Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and fading (Rayleigh & Nakagami-m) channels. Results show that for single user detection, the energy detection technique performs better in AWGN channel than in the fading channel models. The performance of cooperative detection is better than single user detection in fading environments.
The Internet of Things (IoT), also referred to as the Internet of Objects, will change everything—including ourselves. This may seem like a bold statement, but consider the impact the Internet already had on education, science, communication, business, government, and humanity. Clearly, the Internet is one of the most important and a powerful creation in all of human history. This paper discussesIOT architecture, IOT applications and limitations of IOT.
Reduction of Frequency offset Using Joint Clock for OFDM Based Cellular Syste...IJRST Journal
This project addresses the problem of clock synchronization between a base station (BS) and a mobile station (MS). A conventional technique for clock synchronization is that the MS clock is derived from the downlink signal originated from a base station. In cellular systems, a base station and mobile stations need to be synchronized before data exchange. Since the base station clock reference is more accurate, a mobile station typically derives its clock reference from the base station. But the carrier frequency offset due to Doppler shift may have harmful effects on the local clock derivation. This project proposes a joint clock and frequency synchronization technique between a base station and a mobile station, which is effective even with Doppler shift. We derive the joint estimation algorithm by analyzing the phase and the amplitude distortion caused by the sampling frequency offset and the carrier frequency offset. Simulation results showing the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm will also be presented.
Analysis of Voltage and Current Variations in Hybrid Power SystemIJRST Journal
In this paper, a detailed dynamic model and simulation of a solar cell/wind turbine/fuel cell hybrid power system is Developed using a novel topology to complement each other and to alleviate the effects of environmental variations. Comparing with the nuclear energy and thermal power, the renewable energy is inexhaustible and has non-pollution Characteristics. Here Ultra-capacitors are used in power applications requiring short duration peak power. The voltage variation at the output is found to be within the acceptable range. The output fluctuations of the wind turbine varying with wind speed and the solar cell varying with both environmental temperature and sun radiation are reduced using a fuel cell. Therefore, this system can tolerate the rapid changes in load and environmental conditions, and suppress the effects of these fluctuations on the equipment side voltage. The proposed system can be used for off-grid power generation in non interconnected areas or remote isolated communities. Modeling and simulations are conducted using MATLAB/Simulink software packages to verify the effectiveness of the proposed system. The results show that the proposed hybrid power system can tolerate the rapid changes in natural conditions and suppress the effects of these fluctuations on the voltage within the acceptable range.
DTC Scheme for a Four-Switch Inverter-Fed PMBLDC Motor Emulating the Six-Swit...IJRST Journal
The paper deals with the direct torque control (DTC) of brushless DC (BLDC) motor drives fed by four-switch three phase inverters (FSTPI) rather than six-switch inverters (SSTPI) in conventional drives. For any three phase inverter require six switches, but these switches are reduced to four. This reduction of power switches from six to four improves the reliability of the inverter, size of the inverter is reduced and cost of the inverter is also reduces. The FSTPI could be regarded as a reconfigured topology of the SSTPI in case of a switch/leg failure which represents a crucial reliability benefit for many applications especially in electric and hybrid propulsion systems. The DTC of FSTPI-fed BLDC motor drives is treated considering two strategies, such as: 1) DTC-1: a strategy inspired from the one intended to SSTPI-fed BLDC motor drives; 2) DTC-2: a strategy that considers a dedicated vector selection subtable in order to independently control the torques developed by the phases connected to the FSTPI legs during their simultaneous conduction. The operational principle of the four-switch BLDC motor drive and the developed control scheme are theoretically analyzed and the performance is demonstrated by simulation.

A Compact Remote Switching With Efficient Monitoring For AC PlantsIJRST Journal
Remote monitoring has been implemented in many areas. This paper
introduces its specific application to air-conditioning plant control and
monitoring using PIC Microcontroller. Remote monitoring and intelligent
maintenance is one of the most important criteria for maximizing production
and process plant availability. Initially switching and monitoring were done
through manually and the control switches and level monitoring unit were
placed at separate places. Due to this, we cannot monitor all units at a time. In
our proposed system, remote switching and monitoring is done in the control
room itself. Majority of industries use distributed control system for high
reliability, improve response time, improved operator interface to plant,

Power Quality Improvement by UPQC based on Voltage Source ConvertersIJRST Journal
In modern power system consists of wide range of electrical, electronic and power electronic equipment in commercial and industrial applications. Since most of the electronic equipment’s are nonlinear in nature these will induce harmonics in the system, which affect the sensitive loads to be fed from the system. These problems are partially solved with the help of LC passive filters. However, this kind of filter cannot solve random variation in the load current wave form and voltage wave form. Active filters can resolve this problem. However, the cost of active filters is high. They are difficult to implement in large scale. Additionally, they also present lower efficiency than shunt passive filters. One of the many solutions is the use of a combined system of shunt and active series filters like Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) which aims at achieving a low cost under highly effective control. The UPQC device combines a shunt active filter together with a series active filter in a back-to-back configuration, to simultaneously compensate the supply voltage and the load current or to mitigate any type of voltage and current fluctuations and power factor correction in a power distribution network, such that improved power quality can be made available at the point of common coupling. The control strategies are modeled using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The performance is also observed under influence of utility side disturbances such as harmonics and voltage sags. The simulation results are compared without and with UPQC for the verification of results.
Detection of DNA Damage Using Comet Assay Image AnalysisIJRST Journal
Reactive species such as free radicals are constantly produced in vivo and DNA is the very important target of oxidative stress. Oxidative DNA damage is considered as a predictive biomarker to monitor the risk of development of many diseases. The comet assay is widely used for specifying oxidative DNA damage at a single cell level. The analysis of comet assay output images, however, poses considerable challenges. The comet assay, also known as single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE), is a simple, sensitive and reliable method for studying DNA damage caused by physical and chemical agents. So the comet assay is a well-established, simple, versatile, visual, rapid, and sensitive method used extensively to assess DNA damage quantitatively and qualitatively at single cell level. The comet assay is most frequently used to analyze white blood cells or lymphocytes in human bio monitoring studies. So through the analysis of comet assay image we can detect edge of damaged DNA comet isolating it from undamaged DNA.
Review of Reduction of Leakage Current in Cascaded Multilevel InverterIJRST Journal
Multilevel inverters are a source of high power, often used in industrial applications and can use either sine or modified sine waves. A multilevel inverter uses a series of semiconductor power converters (usually two to three) thus generating higher voltage. Reverse leakage current in a semiconductor device is the current from that semiconductor device when the device is reverse biased. In earlier method transformer is used for generating multilevel output and grid synchronization. Transformer increases the leakage current. Now transformerless method and sine modulation techniques are presented to reduce the leakage current.

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. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Review of Step down Converter with Efficient ZVS Operation
In PWM buck converters under discontinuous
conduction mode (DCM)/continuous conduction mode
(CCM) boundary, power switches may be turned on at ZVS
condition like those in QR converters. Resonant components
are not required, and voltage stress of the power switch during
its OFF time is just the same as that in conventional PWM
converters.
The switching frequency of switches should be higher to
diminish the size of a converter (LC filter). As a result, losses
(e.g., switching loss of switchers) in connection with
frequency may increase, which would cause to the decrease in
the efficiency of the converter. Many techniques have been
proposed to reduce the losses arising from
switching frequency. Pulse frequency modulation (PFM)
control and double-mode control combination of pulse width
modulation (PWM) and PFM have been widely applied.
II. STEP DOWN CONVERTER
The basic operation of the buck converter has the current in
an inductor controlled by two switches (usually
a transistor and a diode). In the idealized converter, all the
components are considered to be perfect. Specifically, the
switch and the diode have zero voltage drop when on and zero
current flow when off and the inductor has zero series
resistance. Further, it is assumed that the input and output
voltages do not change over the course of a cycle.
Fig.1 Step down converter
III. BUCK CONVERTER OPERATION
The original concept of a “Buck Converter” requires that the
input voltage is chopped, in amplitude and develops the lower
amplitude voltage at the output. A buck converter has
switch-mode dc-dc conversion with the advantages
of simplicity and low cost. The fig.1 shows a simplified
non-isolated buck converter, which allows a dc input and
employs pulse-width modulation (PWM) of switching
frequency to control the output of an internal power
MOSFET. An act in concert external diode, external inductor
and output capacitor, produce the regulated dc output. A Buck
or step down converters are designed to produce an average
output voltage lower than the input source voltage.
A. Continuous Conduction Mode
A buck converter operates in continuous mode if the
current through the inductor (IL) never falls to zero during the
commutation cycle. In this mode, the operating principle is
described by the plots.
When the switch pictured above is closed (on-state,
top of figure 2), the voltage across the inductor is
.
The current through the inductor rises linearly. As the diode is
reverse-biased by the voltage source V, no current flows
through it;
When the switch is opened (off state, bottom of figure 2), the
diode is forward biased. The voltage across the inductor is
(neglecting diode drop). Current IL decreases
The energy stored in inductor is
B. Discontinuous Conduction Mode
In some cases, the amount of energy required by the load
is too small. In this case, the current through the inductor falls
to zero during part of the period. The only difference in the
principle described above is that the inductor is completely
discharged at the end of the commutation cycle.
We still consider that the converter operates in steady
state. Therefore, the energy in the inductor is the same at the
beginning and at the end of the cycle (in the case of
discontinuous mode, it is zero). This means that the average
value of the inductor voltage (VL) is zero
(
The output current delivered to the load ( ) is constant,
as we consider that the output capacitor is large enough to
maintain a constant voltage across its terminals during a
commutation cycle. This implies that the current flowing
through the capacitor has a zero average value.
C. Hard Switching
Reduction of size and weight of converter systems require
higher operating frequencies, which would reduce sizes of
inductors and capacitors. However, stresses on devices are
heavily influenced by the switching frequencies accompanied
by their switching losses. It is obvious that
switching-aid-networks do not mitigate the dissipation issues
to a great extent. Turn-on snubbers though not discussed are
rarely used. Even if used, it would not be able to prevent the
energy stored in the junction capacitance to discharge into the
transistor at each turn-on.
Fig.2 Hard switching

Volume: 2 | Issue: 1 | January 2015 | ISSN: 2349-0845IJRST
D. Soft Switching
Soft switching techniques use resonant techniques to
switch ON at zero voltage and to switch OFF at zero current.
There are negligible switching losses in the devices, though
there is a significant rise in conduction losses. There is no
transfer of dissipation to the resonant network which is
non-dissipative.
IV. ZERO VOLTAGE SWITCHING
Zero Voltage Switching means that the power to the load
(heater or cooler or other device) is switched on or off only
when the output voltage is zero volts. Zero Voltage Switching
can extend the life of a controller and of the load being
controlled. Controllers with Zero Voltage Switching use
triacs instead of mechanical relays, and, in fact, all of our
temperature controllers which use a triac are inherently Zero
Voltage Switching.
Fig.3 ZVS operation diagram
The ZVS buck converter operates in three main states.
They are defined as Q1 on phase, Q2 on phase, and clamp
phase. Q1 turns on at zero current and when the
drain-to-source voltage is nearly zero. Current ramps up in the
MOSFET and the output inductor to a peak current
determined by the on-time of Q1, the voltage across the
inductor, and the inductor value. During the Q1 on phase,
energy is stored in the output inductor and charge is supplied
to the output capacitor. During the Q1 on phase, the power
dissipation in Q1 is dominated by MOSFET on-resistance and
the switching loss is negligible.
Next, Q1 turns off rapidly followed by a very short body
diode conduction time (adding negligible power dissipation).
During the current commutation to the body diode, Q1 does
experience turn-off losses in proportion to the peak inductor
current. Next, Q2 turns on and the energy stored in the output
inductor is delivered to the load and output capacitor. When
the inductor current reaches zero, the synchronous MOSFET
Q2 is held on long enough to store some energy in the output
inductor from the output capacitor.
Fig. 4. Waveform for mode analysis
Once the controller has determined that there is enough
energy stored in the inductor, the synchronous MOSFET
turns off and the clamp switch turns on, clamping the VS node
to VOUT. The clamp switch isolates the output inductor
current from the output while circulating the stored energy as
current in a nearly lossless manner. During the (very small)
clamp-phase time the output is supplied by the output
capacitor.
When the clamp phase ends, the clamp switch is opened.
The energy stored in the output inductor resonates with the
parallel combination of the Q1 and Q2 output capacitances,
causing the VS node to ring towards VIN. This ring discharges
the output capacitance of Q1, diminishes the gate-to-drain
(Miller) charge of Q1 and charges the output capacitance of
Q2. This allows Q1 to turn on in a lossless manner when the
VS node is nearly equal to VIN.³
V. ZERO CURRENT SWITCHING
Reducing stress on the switching components is a major
incentive for resonant operation and we need to understand
4. 19 International Journal of Research in Science & Technology
Review of Step down Converter with Efficient ZVS Operation
ways through which that might be fulfilled. The simplest
approach and the one to which most of this paper presents
ZCS operation of converter switch must be such that involves
the current flowing through the switch being induced to rise
gradually just after the switch is turned-on. The switch current
must also be induced to descend gradually just before the
switch is turned-off. The ZCS turn-on feature of a converter
switch can beamed certain by simply connecting an inductor
in series as the current flowing through the other devices in
the converter is gradually drawn back so that they can turn-off
with ZCS
Fig.5 Zero current switching
VI. CONCLUSION
This paper presented a step down converter with an
improved zero-current-switching (ZCS) PWM switch cell.
The improved ZCS PWM switch cell provides
zero-current-switching conditions for the main switch and the
auxiliary switch without additional conduction loss of the
main switch. The additional conduction losses for the soft
switching are minimized, since the circulating current for the
soft switching flows only through the auxiliary circuit and
minimum number of switching devices are involved in the
circulating current path. The diodes commutate softly and
reverse recovery problems are alleviated.
