Design, implementation and performance evaluation of multi-function boost converter

Résumé

This paper introduces a single-phase multi-function converter (MFC) circuit that can perform the power electronics functions of a DC-DC, a DC-AC, an AC-AC, and an AC-DC boost converter. The power circuit of the proposed converter contains only four bi-directional switches, which is sufficient side by side with a switched logic-based control system to execute converter functions. The proposed converter can implement the boosting converter function, which is a drawback of the conventional single-phase matrix converter, which is limited to performing the buck converter functions. The mathematical analysis of each converter function is presented. A state space averaging technique is employed to obtain the time-invariant state space model for a better understanding of the converter characteristics. The frequency response approach is used to demonstrate the effect of circuit parameters on converter stability using the time-invariant state-space model. Moreover, the performance analysis of the system is checked through the building of a simulation model of the proposed converter via MATLAB/Simulink and MATLAB/Simscape toolbox integration. Additionally, the actual performance of the proposed converter is verified through a laboratory prototype experimental study. The experimental results confirm those obtained by computer simulation, clearly demonstrating the successful operation of the proposed circuit as a multi-function converter with acceptable levels of total harmonic distortion (THD).
