 Abstract 
Energy constitutes a fundamental part in human lives. The well-being and prosperity of the globe is directly linked to energy growth. Overcoming the demand of energy is a key challenge to be solved. Keeping up with pace of energy demand, it requires unprecedented levels of investment and the purist of all economic energy sources. The energy needs are growing and conventional resources are not suitable to compete with the global requirements of energy. Therefore, the trend is to use renewable energies to compensate with the energy requirements. The renewable energies such as photovoltaic (PV) modules, fuel cells and wind turbines are of particular interest due to their tremendous advantages over conventional sources of energy. PV energy is one of the most widely used among all the other forms of renewable energies. This is due to the fact that the PV systems are relatively smaller in size, perform noiseless operation, require simple installation and the possibility to install PV systems closer to the user. The PV energy can either be used independently or can be connected to the utility grid. To connect the PV energy to the grid, the energy conversion device is necessary to convert dc voltage to the ac voltage (inverter). Previ- ously line transformer or a high frequency transformer is used with inverter to provide isolation between PV system and grid. The transformer in the system, however decreases the e ciency, increases the cost and weight and makes the system complex. Therefore, transformer-less inverters are mostly preferred in PV systems due to their high e ciency, low cost, small weight and less complexity. In this thesis a three level transformer-less inverter is used with grid in- teraction. Avoiding a transformer in such systems results in leakage current due to the direct connection between PV panel and utility grid. The high values of the leakage current may be problematic and can cause harmonics and losses in the PV system, electromagnetic interference and even electri- cal safety problems. The major causes of leakage current in transformer-less grid connected PV system are the parasitic capacitance of the PV panel and varying common mode (CM) voltage appearing across the parasitic capaci- tance of PV panel. The leakage current in transformer-less PV system can be reduced either by keeping the CM voltage constant or reducing the am- plitude and frequency of CM voltage. There are many solutions to reduce leakage current within international standards. They include the modi - cation of the inverter topology, by active or passive damping of LCL lter and by improved modulation methods. The modulation methods are most widely used in the industry because there is no need of topological modi ca- tion or extra hardware which increases the cost of the PV system. Various modulation methods to reduce the leakage current in the literature are dis- cussed brie y in this thesis. In most cases space vector based pulse width modulation (SVPWM) methods are used to solve leakage current problems, because three level in- verter has an inherent capability to produce the constant CM voltage by using particular space vectors and thereby eliminating the leakage current in the system. A new simpli ed SVPWM strategy is proposed which is easy to implement as compare to conventional three level SVPWM. The pro- posed SVPWM reduces the leakage current and maintains it within limits as enforced by international standards. The main features of the proposed SVPWM technique are; less computational burden, small leakage current and low THD of phase currents. Detailed theoretical analysis of the pro- posed modulation technique are validated by simulations and experimental demonstration shows the e ectiveness of the proposed SVPWM. A carrier based PWM is also proposed in this thesis to reduce the leak- age current of three level transformer-less PV inverter. The carrier based PWM is very simple since it requires only one carrier to synthesize the output voltage of three level inverter. Due to its carrier based nature this PWM strategy can easily be operated in over-modulation region. Apart from leakage current reduction the proposed PWM is capable of balancing the neutral point (NP) voltage of the three level inverter. Simulation and experiments are carried out for the proposed carrier based PWM to verify the e ectiveness for the leakage current reduction and NP voltage balancing. Finally the proposed PWM techniques are compared with the modula- tion techniques presented in the literature. It is found that the proposed PWM techniques not only suppress the leakage current within allowable limits as described by the international standards but have better spectral performance.

Switch Mode Power Supply Current Sensing 
Current-mode control is widely used for switching mode power supplies due to its high reliability, simple loop compensation design, and simple and reliable load sharing capability. The current sense signal is an essential part of a current-mode switch mode power supply design; it is used to regulate the output and also provides overcurrent protection.

Reduce Size and Increase Efficiency with GaN-based LLC Solutions-By Yajie Qiu, Senior Power Electronics Applications Engineer, GaN Systems Inc.

Reduce Size and Increase Efficiency with GaN-based LLC Solutions GaN High Electron Mobility Transistors (GaN HEMT) have lower driving loss and shorter deadtime circuit benefits due to significantly reduced gate charge (Qg) and output capacitance (Coss) compared to Silicon MOSFETS. Therefore, GaN HEMTs show significant advantages over Silicon MOSFETs in high-frequency soft-switching resonant topologies such as an LLC resonant converter. With increased switching frequency (fsw), the transformer core size can be reduced. Furthermore, a 3-D PCB structure is employed to increase the power density. A 190-Watt, 400V-19V GaN Systems E-HEMT based LLC DC-DC resonant converter is carefully designed, and the transformer is optimized for high-end adapter applications operating above 600kHz. The converter shows a complete design with a power density over 63W/inch3, including the 400V bus capacitor, with a peak efficiency of 96%.
