Abstract

This project presents the design and implementation of a DC-DC buck converter for substation auxiliary power applications. Substations require reliable low-voltage DC supply for control circuits, protection relays, communication equipment, and monitoring systems. The proposed buck converter efficiently steps down a higher DC input voltage to a regulated lower output voltage suitable for these sensitive loads. The converter employs a high-frequency switching technique using a power semiconductor device, along with an inductor, diode, and filter capacitor to minimize ripple and improve efficiency.
