The loss model and experiment were compared for a DC/DC boost converter and found to match within 3.4%. A parametric loss analysis of modeled converters in the range of 200 to 400 V and 50 to 500 W shows AC/DC PFC boost converters to have up to 2.5 times the loss of DC/DC boost converters.
A parametric loss analysis of modeled converters in the range of 200 to 400 V and 50 to 500 W shows AC/DC PFC boost converters to have up to 2.5 times the loss of DC/DC boost converters. This study is part of a larger research effort to rigorously compare AC and DC build-ings.
These converters are modeled with identical components and an equivalent input and output voltage. Simulated designs with real components show AC/DC boost converters between 100 W to 500 W having up to 2.5 times more loss than DC/DC boost converters.
DC converters have generally been known to be more efficient, but this work quantifies the exact difference in loss. There are two main forms of loss in a converter: conduction loss and switching loss. Conduction loss models are derived in Sections 2 and 3 and switching loss models are derived in Sections 4 and 5.
In typical commercial buildings, the modeled savings with DC varied from 2% to as much as 19%, depending on the modeled converter efficiency and the respective voltage levels. Gerber et al. conducted a side-by-side AC and DC building simulation with a parametric sweep of solar and storage capacity.
Abstract: Three-phase matrix-based isolated AC-DC conversion for integration of battery energy storage is an emerging single-stage bidirectional AC-DC conversion application.
