Electrified Automotive Power train Architecture Using Composite DC-DC Converters

Electrified Automotive Power train Architecture Using Composite DC-DC Converters  Abstract: In a hybrid or electric vehicle powertrain, a boost dc-dc converter enables reduction of the size of the electric machine and optimization of the battery system. Design of the powertrain boost converter is challenging because the converter must be rated at high peak power, while […]


Least Power Point Tracking Method for Photovoltaic Differential Power Processing Systems

Least Power Point Tracking Method for Photovoltaic Differential Power Processing Systems Abstract: Differential power processing (DPP) systems are a promising architecture for future photovoltaic (PV) power systems that achieve high system efficiency through processing a faction of the full PV power, while achieving distributed local maximum power point tracking (MPPT). In the PV-to-bus DPP architecture, […]
