In this letter, a magnetic-less DC/DC converter with a pulse-charging scheme is developed to achieve voltage compatibility between a DC fast-charging station and a high-voltage battery in an electric vehicle. It supports charging an 800 V battery system by typical fast-charging converters having an output voltage of 280 V to 420 V. The converter has a smaller component count than the existing ones...Show More
This article proposes a novel dc–dc topology, enabling a plug-in electric vehicle to charge its high-voltage battery using a wireless power transfer system. By interfacing the wireless power transfer system's receiver coil to the electric vehicle's on-board bidirectional conductive charger, a common rectifier and secondary matching capacitors are shared between the two subsystems. The bidirectiona...Show More
Transportation electrification has been gaining momentum in the past two decades. Ground vehicle electrification is the front-runner of this paradigm shift as electric vehicles slowly but steadily penetrate the consumer market. Besides higher costs, one of the main concerns related to vehicle electrification is range anxiety, which is the result of the limited accessibility of charging ports and s...Show More
This paper proposes a novel topology for integrating the receiver coil of a wireless power transfer system with the electric vehicle's onboard bidirectional conductive charger. The system is designed to operate at two frequency bands to satisfy the power density requirement of a bidirectional onboard charger while keeping compliant with the working frequency and interoperability requirements propo...Show More
Integrated chargers have the potential to reutilize the existing on-board, high power-rated electronic components for charging purposes to save costs. However, while electric vehicle (EV) chargers are traditionally isolated from the grid, the integration of isolation is impractical with the conventional power train. Large leakage current exists in non-isolated integrated chargers due to the lack o...Show More
Electric vehicle (EV) chargers are traditionally isolated from the grid. Non-isolated chargers have great potential as they enable higher power density at lower cost. Integrated chargers have the potential to utilize existing onboard, high power-rated electronic components for Level 3 charging. Four possible non-isolated integrated charger topologies based on permanent magnet synchronous machine (...Show More
This paper presents an analytical optimization method for calculating the optimal stored energy in the magnetic field generated by a wireless power transfer (WPT) coupler. The ratio between the energy stored in the magnetic field and transferred power is derived to optimize the driving point impedance, which in turn determines the efficiency of the system. A new parameter, reactance mismatch coeff...Show More
This paper presents a novel smart-PID controller for optimal control of DC-DC boost converter used as voltage controller in PV systems. This proposed controller maximizes the stable operating range by using genetic algorithms (GA) to tune the PID parameters ultimately at various loading conditions. Then, a fuzzy logic approach is used to add a factor of intelligence to the controller such that it ...Show More
In this paper, some of the aspects related to the connectivity of DC microgrids to the main grid are investigated. A prototype system has been designed and implemented to address these aspects. The described system is dependent mainly on sustainable energy sources. Hence, a special care has been given to dealing with this kind of sources while designing different components of the system. Certain ...Show More

Performance of the conventional DC-DC boost converter has been discussed. Moreover, a modification has been applied to it in order to enhance its performance. The proposed converter's performance has ...Show More
This paper investigates different converter topologies, and their control, that can be used as an interface between fuel cells and the DC bus in a power system. As an example, the integration of fuel cells energy to the DC bus in a DC zonal electric distribution system (DC ZEDS) will be focused on. The DC ZEDS example is reasonable as high-quality power supply is interesting the most for the US na...Show More

Proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers are usually used to control DC-DC boost converters in PV systems. However, they have to be tuned based on certain defined operating range using averaged mathematical models. Loading conditions have great effect on PI controllers; PI controllers are subjected to failure under dramatic load changes. This limits the PI controller's operating range. M...Show More
This paper discusses the loading limitations in PV systems resulting from switching the power electronic interfaces and transients associated with large loads. These conditions derate the power generation capability of the PV system. We propose some methods to enhance the loadability of these systems under both steady state and dynamic operations. A PV system for home application purposes, with a ...Show More
This paper presents a controlled reactive power compensator (RPC) for a stand-alone synchronous generator (SG)-based wind energy conversion system (WECS). The proposed controlled RPC consists of a synchronous condenser (SC), an AC/DC converter whose output supplies the excitation circuit of the SC, and a control scheme that adapts the converter output to supply the field voltage required to fit th...Show More
