An Optimal Modulation Schemes for a Family of Single-Stage Three Switch Leg Multi-Port Boost DC-AC Converter

Abstract

This paper presents an optimal modulation schemes for a family of single-stage three switch leg multi-port boost (TSLMPB) DC-AC converters. The proposed multi-port DC-AC converter topologies and associated modulation scheme exchange power between multiple DC and AC ports with high voltage gain. Furthermore, the DC ports functioned with diverse voltage levels, while the AC ports can be operated at varying voltage magnitudes and frequencies. The feasibility of the modulation schemes for the TSLMPB DC-AC converters are evaluated in the MATLAB/ Simulink environment, and the results are presented. To validate the performance and efficiency of the TSLMPB DC-AC converters, a 300 W laboratory prototype was developed, and experimental results are presented and discussed. © 2023 IEEE.
