    Design of isolated DC-DC and DC-DC-AC converters with reduced number of power switches
    (2017-07) Mallik, Dhara I.; dos Santos, Euzeli C.; El-Sharkawy, Mohamed; Rizkalla, Maher
    There are various types of power electronic converters available in recent days. In some applications (e.g. PC power supply), it is required to supply more than one load from a single power supply. One of the main challenges while designing a power converter is to increase its e ciency especially when the number of power switches employed is relatively large. While several loads are supplied from a single source, if the power loss in the switches cannot be reduced, then the expected utilization of using a single source is not very feasible. To reduce the loss and increase e ciency, the thesis presents a novel design with reduced number of switches. The scope of this thesis is not limited to the dc-dc converter only, the converter to supply three phase ac loads from a single dc source is also presented. This discussion includes an improved fault tolerant configuration of the inverter part. The generated waveforms from the simulations are included as a demonstration of satisfactory results.
