Abstract

Power supply requirements of new generation microprocessors are one of the problems of latest generation. New generation microprocessors require 40-100A and voltage in the range of 1 V or 2 V. Lower voltages can be obtained from DC-DC converter namely the buck converter. The three phase DC-DC converter of 100W, 12V/1V with efficiency 97% is modeled. With the help of soft switching techniques, this multiphase technology gives excellent transient response and increased efficiency. The input to the DC-DC converter is provided from a hybrid combination of wind and solar system. Owing to the present scenario of the fuel-crisis, renewable energy sources are explored to a greater extent. Renewable energy sources being environment friendly are called as Green Energy Sources.
