Design issues for wind farms grid tied Inverter
2017
In this paper the Authors give indications for the design of a grid tied Voltage Source Inverters (VSI) aimed to optimal use in energy conversion from wind source. In particular, the design of the inverter is more focused on the control system planning, with a particular glance on the grid synchronization problem. After the exposition of general issues concerning renewable energies and associated topics, the case of a grid tied inverter is considered and a methodology of design is sketched starting from the consideration of the DC side and also considering the power device losses, the protection issue against over voltages and over-currents, snubber circuits, heat sinks and, finally the con…
Active snubber network design and implementation on the primary side of an isolated Ćuk converter realizing soft-switching for efficiency …
2008
This paper describes the process of improving the efficiency of an existing isolated DC/DC converter based on CUK topology with secondary side synchronous rectification, by means of the introduction of an active snubber network on the primary side. The snubber circuit reduces to zero the switching losses during the off-time interval of secondary SR. In particular, the efficiency improvement is due to the elimination of the primary MOSFET Coss output capacitance losses, and mainly of the reverse recovery losses on the secondary SR MOSFET. However, the insertion of the active snubber creates itself additional losses in the circuit, and therefore to measure the really introduced benefit it is …
