Control Parameter Selection in Auxiliary Resonant Commutated Pole Converters

This paper addresses the optimum selection of the boost current and threshold current control parameters for the ARCP soft switching technique. The parameters are derived based on a minimization of the output voltage distortion induced by the ARCP operation. The impact of the proper selection of the resonant parameters on the system design is discussed.

A parallel resonant constant current power supply

In the past, resonant converters have generally been analyzed and characterized for constant output voltage power supplies. When applied to power supplies, in which output current is regulated, the topological requirements of a resonant converter differ. This means, a resonant converter topology not suitable for constant voltage power supplies may become attractive for constant current power su...

Capacitor Commutated Converters for High Power Hvdc Transmission

Two concepts for the transmission with a high power capacity using HVDC technology are analysed in this paper. The technology of Capacitor Commutated Converters (CCC) is presented and the design of two system models is described. Their steady-state as well as transient performance is presented and the CCC is compared to the conventional HVDC transmission. The advantages of the CCC for high powe...

Analysis of H-bridge Current Source Parallel Resonant Inverter for Induction Heating

This paper gives the theory and experimental results for a current-source parallel-resonant inverter employed for induction heating. The analysis is performed in the frequency domain using Fourier series techniques to predict output power, efficiency, dc-to-ac voltage transfer function, and component voltage and current stresses. The inverter consists of four switches, a large choke inductor, a...
