Abstract- This paper presents an comparison of solar based
closed loop DC-DC Converter using PID and Fuzzy Logic
Control for shunt motor drive. Solar panel is connected input
side then two full bridge converter, step up transformer, PI filter

parameters operates at zero-voltage switching which retains the
high circuit efficiency. Speed of motor, Torque and Armature
current, Rise time, Peak time, Settling time and Steady state

drive, Pulse Width Modulation, Speed, Torque.
I. INTRODUCTION
Capacitor connected to source side of a voltage fed
converter and giving positive feedback from the source side
otherwise implemented duality transformation methods are
forming the current-fed converter. Dynamic properties of
current-fed converter from voltage fed converter by
implementing the duality-transformation method are discussed
[1]. Mostly half-bridge series resonant converter is used to
induction heating process due to the charactiestices and
resonant frequency of the converter. Gain-scheduling
technique is implementing in a hybrid energy storage system
for drives an networks. Advantage of FPGA-based controller,
feasibility, high speed operation, improving the performance,
transient response, safety operation and decreased power
overshoots at variable load [2]. Bidirectional power flow,
sinusoidal voltage and current in output and unity power factor
are advantages of matrix converter. Updated control
techniques, producing better waveform and stability,
modulation are performing the matrix converter. Double-sided
space vector modulation and integrally are connected FPGA
without additional components implementing in matrix
converter. At maximum modulation frequencies, processing
time is decreased [3]. Electromagnetic interference is a
disadvantage in the driver applications. The noise is split into
two major types that is common and differential mode.

Elimination of these noise using filters is complex and more
cost, big size which gives bad performance result. This paper
explains, high-density EMI filter that will be low cost, small
size and giving good performance results of drive system [4].
Active and passive snubber circuit implementing the boost
converter, current variation is maximum in turn on at passive
snubber circuit. Minimum-component count active snubber is
used but need different signals control the boost and snubber
switches. Discontinuous operation mode, active snubber
circuit is implemented. Finally active soft: switching snubber is
implementing in the boost converter in this circuit different
current is passes to boost and snubber switches in formation of
simple and reliable control circuit [5]. Zero voltage switching
is in full-bridge converters for leading and lagging leg with
leakage inductor of transformer and capacitors of the power
switches. ZVZCS PWM full-bridge converter circuits are used
two diodes in series with the lagging leg. At wide load range
leading leg ZVS and line load range lagging leg ZCS
implemented [6]. More voltage conversion ratio and power
capability and galvanic isolation is the advantages of different
current-fed step-up conversions circuit. At permanent
breakdown period snubber circuit is protect the components.
But no dissipative snubber circuit is complicate and not
meeting the zero voltage switching and it's applying only low
frequency's big size of components is used voltage across
capacitor is more in buck converter. Active clamping ZVS
current-fed half bridge converter is implemented. This circuit
is simple; no need extra components and low cost getting
more efficiency. The new snubber circuit is suitable for other
converter circuits also [7]. Single-Stage more-power -factor
ACIDC Converter featuring more circuit efficiency [8] and
Hardware Implementation of DC-DC Converter for Inductive
Load Application [9] are discussed. Decomposition
algorithm was targeted on Xc3e5000-5fg900 FPGA [10].
Analysis and simulation of three phase diode rectifier with a
novel unity power factor input stage using hybrid
unidirectional rectifier are discussed[ 11]. The proposed
converter's circuit diagram, operation of the circuit and output
wave forms are discussed in this paper.
