Integrated Topologies And Digital Control For Satellite Power Management And Distribution Systems, Hussam Al-Atrash Jan 2007

Integrated Topologies And Digital Control For Satellite Power Management And Distribution Systems, Hussam Al-Atrash

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This work is focused on exploring advanced solutions for space power management and distribution (PMAD) systems. As spacecraft power requirements continue to increase, paralleled by the pressures for reducing cost and overall system weight, power electronics engineers will continue to face major redesigns of the space power systems in order to meet such challenges. Front-end PMAD systems, used to interface the solar sources and battery backup to the distribution bus, need to be designed with increased efficiency, reliability, and power density. A new family of integrated single-stage power converter structures is introduced here. This family allows the interface and control …


High Current Density Low Voltage Isolated Dc-Dc Converterswith Fast Transient Response, Liangbin Yao Jan 2007

High Current Density Low Voltage Isolated Dc-Dc Converterswith Fast Transient Response, Liangbin Yao

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

With the rapid development of microprocessor and semiconductor technology, industry continues to update the requirements for power supplies. For telecommunication and computing system applications, power supplies require increasing current level while the supply voltage keeps decreasing. For example, the Intel's CPU core voltage decreased from 2 volt in 1999 to 1 volt in 2005 while the supply current increased from 20A in 1999 to up to 100A in 2005. As a result, low-voltage high-current high efficiency dc-dc converters with high power-density are demanded for state-of-the-art applications and also the future applications. Half-bridge dc-dc converter with current-doubler rectification is regarded as …
