I am making a Wind turbine power plant prototype for my project work

My generator is DC.actually its DC motor but it can be used as gen.1900 rpm rated with 24V and 2.5 A current.Problem is not all time wind gives enough rpm.But the charge controller i am using takes 24V constant to charge lead acid battery.so i need a DC DC booster.i will control the pulse width via micro controller.

My basic design is attached here.

using this equ i took min l value. i used min load current 2A and D i used when the worst case voltage is found as i got 7V and have to boost to 24V.

C=D/(2*f*R) here R is the load.

My problems are

1.while simulation i saw output voltage is dependent on L value.for safety i used 980uH that's greater than min L value and D=0.5 always.I saw it can perfectly boost 7 to 24 but while if 24V is given it gives 53V instead of 48V.

2.Output is very much depended on R value.If i use R=100 ohm it gives good result.But if i use R=500 ohm it cant even boost 7V to 14V for D=0.5,instead it gives 11V.

3.In lab i used this circuit to test but the IRF840 cant switch in 40K.whats the problem?

4.I burned 2 IRF840 though i used protection diode.but in lab source i used only 10V and 2A current.why IRF840 burns?

that's a lengthy post.But please someone help me.

 

Well I think its impassible to do in this circuit.
First of all for Vin_min = 7V and Vout = 24V you need
D = (24 - 7)/24 = 0.7 = 70%.
And for I_out=2A you need more then I_in = I_out / (1 - D) = 6.8A input current

 

Thanks.

can u tell whether this circuit will give 2.5A even in 7V?or should i check this thing?

If i suppose 2.5A current regardless voltage value than i can insert min load current 0.73A according this equ. and if i select L value using this min I then will it work.However simulation is ideal.why this circuit don't work even in simulation(i used proteus and pspice)?

what should i do?please give some suggestion.

Thanks

 

For Vin = 7V and Io = 0.7A ---> L = 133uH --> D ≈ 70% for CCM for F=40KHz
And you need some IC which will be decrease the duty cycle if Vin rising

PS. And if you put this numbers in to the simulation it will work quite well

 

Thanks.

You should check it first.

 

this is really a good site for calculation.

I checked my design suggested by this site L value.only i added a load of R=100 ohm unless it the circuit becomes unstable as its open ckt voltage continues to rise.

Check the attachments.still is standing on the failure edge.sorry to disturb again.but its really bothering me.

Thanks again

 

You must change your duty cycle in simulation to get correct result.
And in this site calculator you enter 5V for Vin_min

 

Why are you using an IRF840 500v MOSFET when you only need one rated for Vdss=30v? You're paying a penalty of high gate charge (65nC) and high Rds(on) (0.85 Ohms). You could use a MOSFET with a much lower Vdss rating, and in return you will have a much lower Rds(on), higher Id, and Qg; easily improving ratings by an order of magnitude.

You're trying to drive the gate using an optocoupler. Your gate charge/discharge times will be VERY long, so your MOSFET will spend most of it's brief life in linear mode where it is dissipating power as heat. That is, right before the smoke makes a hasty exit.

You need to improve your gate drive. There are dedicated gate optodrivers, but you need to have enough voltage to run them in the first place. If you don't absolutely have to have optoisolators, there are dedicated gate driver ICs which will improve switching times enormously. If you're planning on switching at speeds over a few kHz, you'll need something like that.

 

It works jony130 with some problem.

first is load value prob.Why is this strange load dependency?
see the attachment 1&2(done with)

Second is the L value that determined for 7-24V is same as 10-24V as expected but the duty cycle shown in figure for 7-24V simulate perfect res while the duty cycle for 10-24v doesn't.

other value also doesn't work.why is this?

Thanks

 

Thanks Sgtwookie for advise \
What should i use for gate Drive? YOU SAID " There are dedicated gate optodrivers, but you need to have enough voltage to run them in the first place." but i want to run this via microcontroller.so there's no scope of enough voltage facility.

Can u propose some gate driver ICs for high speed switching?

Thanks for MOSFET problem.Pls suggest some other MOSFET that i can use.I live in Bangladesh so here's not all MOSFET are available.so give 2/3 specimen of ur MOSFET suggestion

 

Thanks

draft4.asc which soft will open this?I have also posted another reply.please comment on that.

Thanks again

 

Thanks again

How i open this draft4.asc?By which software?

I have posted a reply.please comment on that.

 

First of all to be load independent in CCM you need to design the circuit for Iout_min (now you assume Iout_min = 2A)
Or you need some special purpose IC to control duty-cycle or some kind of circuit with negative feedback to control Vout and change duty-cycle.
There is no other way.
As for MOSFET you need drive circuit

I understood.I can change the duty cycle via micro controller programming but it will now become lot problematic.

However in Boost design consideration there is nothing on load dependency except the time of charging and discharging of capacitor.can u tell me why is this difference?

However how can i detect load variation?should i have to measure current through load?Any better solution of detection of load change.My output wont Detroit with load increase or decrease.And practically i am giving this output to charge controller which will charge the lead acid battery.So should i instead measure the transfer load of charger circuit and design the booster with that load value?

Thanks for circuit view.It works for various input while load constant.

Thanks again

 

Thanks

I will try search these the next days.I think i will have at least 1 of them as u given many options.

I will be in touch.Thanks again

hello
please i need a help i have been used buck-boost converted my problem when i change the load the output voltage is also change i design the circuit at 2 A and the input voltage is 6V and output is 12 so i could not reach at 12V at load 2 A .
and buck converter is working well can reach at 2A and the output as a constant at 12V.
my regards
