High-Voltage Power Supply: Design Considerations and Optimization Techniques
Article Information
Abstract
The main goal of this study is to design and develop a half-bridge inverter architecture specifically for high-voltage power supply applications. An effective, small, and affordable system that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current(AC) can be built, thanks to the IR2151 chip’s dependable characteristics and performance. To get the desired output voltage, the transformer first increases the voltage and then the voltage is increased with a voltage-doubling rectifier (VDR) circuit. The study emphasizes how crucial it is to choose components carefully and simulate the circuit design and implementation process to guarantee dependable performance. The experimental results validate the suggested architecture’s operational efficacy and viability. Moreover, the system’s control mechanisms are strengthened by integrating Fractional Order PID (FOPID) and Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers. These controllers provide vital feedback for stable output voltage and improved flexibility under transient situations. This study significantly advances the field by addressing key challenges such as size reduction, cost optimization, and improved control strategies, which are critical for high-voltage applications.
