Abstract
  To overcome the low output voltage of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs) such as photovoltaic arrays (PVAs) and fuel cells, a new multi-input DC/DC converter is presented in this paper. This converter is based on a combination of modified quadratic buck-boost converters, Switched Inductors (SIs), and Voltage ...  Read More

https://doi.org/10.22111/ieco.2021.36599.1322

Abstract
  This work proposes a new multilevel inverter consisting of basic and submultilevel units. The basic unit is made-up of four isolated dc voltage sources, two bidirectional switches and ten unidirectional switches. To increase the number of the output voltage levels, a cascaded architecture based on series ...  Read More

Volume 4, Issue 2 , April 2021, , Pages 167-179

https://doi.org/10.22111/ieco.2020.34508.1279

Abstract
  < p>In power converters, the total harmonic distortion (THD) can be decreased by using two strategies which are filtering and controlling methods. The filtering strategy is indeed costly because of using hardware devices (such as capacitor and inductor). A suitable strategy to control the modern ...  Read More

Volume 4, Issue 2 , April 2021, , Pages 257-266

https://doi.org/10.22111/ieco.2020.34462.1278

Abstract
  Abstract- An Electric Vehicle Battery Charger (EVBC) faces serious challenges as continuous charging voltage ripple, charging speed, input voltage level variations, and its ability to adapt to the Battery State of Charge (BSOC). A proper controller has an important role to prepare all the mentioned above. ...  Read More
