The deep integration of renewable energy resources, including solar photovoltaic (PV) and
wind turbine (WT) energy, mainly depend on the inexpensive technological improvement of …

Concerns about greenhouse gas emissions are a key topic addressed by modern societies
worldwide. As a contribution to mitigate such effects caused by the transportation sector, the …

This paper presents a power factor correction (PFC) front end based on a seven-level flying
capacitor multilevel (FCML) boost converter. Compared to the conventional two-level boost …

AC-to-DC conversion is integral to the two-stage charging interface of electric vehicle (EV)
batteries. For such chargers, the use of multilevel rectifiers (MLRs) reduces voltage ratings of …

A sliding mode control (SMC) strategy with dc capacitor voltage balancing is proposed for
three-phase three-level T-type rectifiers. The proposed SMC strategy is designed in the abc …

This paper presents an improved five-level bidirectional converter (iFBC) controlled by finite
control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC). This control strategy consists in using the …

An electric vehicle (EV) charging system is usually implemented in two stages: a power
factor correction (PFC) rectifier stage, followed by a DC-DC converter. For such power …

A multilevel boost power factor correction (PFC) rectifier is presented in this paper controlled
by cascaded controller and multicarrier pulse width modulation technique. The presented …

This paper presents three unidirectional step-up ac-dc converter topologies with voltage
multiplication on their outputs. The first topology is the hybrid boost rectifier and the other two …

Reducing the power loss of a converter without increasing its volume or cost in hardware
has always been a much sought-after but challenging goal. This article proposes a …
