The load 𝑅 is fixed at 4.8Ω and the output voltage of the converter 𝑈2 is set at 48𝑉.

The
switching frequency 𝑓𝑠 is equal to 5𝑘𝐻𝑧. The manufacturer indicates that the maximum
(peak-to-peak) current and the maximum (peak-to-peak) voltage ripple should not
exceed 5% and 3%, respectively.

d. Calculate the output current 𝐼2.

R=4.8Ω
I2=U2/R = 48/4.8 = 10Amps

e. Calculate the maximum allowed current ripple Δ𝑖𝐿 in the inductor.

∆i_L= 0.05*I_out = 0.05*10=0.5Amps

f. Calculate the minimum allowed inductance value 𝐿.


Switching Frequency fs=5000;
Ts=1/fs;
L=((U1-U2)/( ∆i_L))*D*T_s ;

L=((400-48)/( 0.05))*0.12*(1/5000)=0.0169H

g. Calculate the maximum allowed voltage ripple Δ𝑢𝐶 in the capacitor.

Δ𝑢𝐶 = 0.03*U2 = 0.03 * 48= 1.4400V

h. Calculate the minimum allowed capacitance value 𝐶.

C=(U2*(1-D)*(Ts^2))/(8* Δ𝑢𝐶 * L)

= (48*(1-0.12)*((1/5000)^2)/8*1.4400*0.0169 = 8.680e-06F

i. Taking into account the formulas used in f) what are your comments on the selection
frequency versus the inductance 𝐿 (for the same current ripple, voltages 𝑈1,𝑈2 and duty
cycle)? How the increase/decrease of switching frequency affects the inductance value?

Ans:- As the switching frequency increases the inductance value decreases and it will
also increases the switching losses and decrease the efficiency and as the switching
frequency decreases the inductance value increases. They are inversely proportional.

j. The volume of an inductor is increasing proportionally to 𝐿. What is the effect in the
volume if the switching frequency is increased?

Ans:- As the switching frequency increases (up to a certain range) , the inductance
value and inductor volume decreases for specified current ripple. After a certain range
of switching frequency the inductor volume doesn’t really change and it is nearly
constant this is because of the flux density of the rated current.

Question 2. Implement a DC-AC conversion using a Half-Bridge converter as presented


in the lecture. Assume input DC voltage of 10𝑉, a carrier frequency of 1𝑘𝐻𝑧 and
reference sinewave frequency of 50𝐻𝑧. You have been provided a Matlab runner
(‘runner.m’) and a Simulink base model (‘model.slx’).

a. Implement the half bridge DC-AC converter building over the provided base
Simulink model (you need to provide your Matlab runner and Simulink model)
