Abstract

This paper presents a design and simulation of synchronous buck converter in low power generation system. The technical aspects of charging 28-volt batteries with a small permanent magnet wind-turbine generator suggested that a special battery-charging station be developed. The buck topology suffers from low efficiency at light loads due to dissipation that does not scale with load current. In this proposed method for improving efficiency in buck converter by reducing gate drive losses.
