A General Approach to Synthesis and Analysis of Quasi-Resonant Converters
نویسنده
چکیده
A method for systematic synthesis of quasi-resonant (QR) topologies by addition of resonant elements to a parent PWM converter network is proposed. It is found that there are six QR classes with two resonant elements, including two novel classes. More complex QR converters can be generated by a recursive application of the synthesis method. Topological definitions of all known and novel QR classes follow directly from the synthesis method and topological properties of PWM parents. The synthesis of QR converters is augmented by a study of possible switch realizations and operating modes. In particular, it is demonstrated that a controllable rectifier can be used to accomplish the constant-frequency control in all QR classes. Links between the QR converters and the underlying PWM networks are extended to general dc and small-signal ac models, in which the model of the PWM parent is explicitly exposed. Results of steady-state analyses of selected QR classes and operating modes include boundaries of operating regions, dc characteristics, a comparison of switching transitions and switch stresses, and a discussion of relevant design trade-offs.

Introduction and Analysis of a Novel Quasi - Series Resonant DC Link
Soft Switcing techniques have recently been applied in the design of dc-ac converters, in order to achive better performance, higher efficiency, and power density. One of the soft switching techniques uesd in inverters is resonant dc links. These topologies have some disadvantages such as irregular current peaks, large voltage peaks, uncotrollble pulse width, etc. Another soft switching method ...

متن کاملAn 1326 Application Note
Over the past two decades plenty of resonant and quasi-resonant converters have been developed and proposed as an answer to the difficulties raised by square-wave converters, especially those related to their parasitic elements. The basic idea is to put these parasitics in use. The core of both classes of converters is a tank circuit. Unlike resonant converters, where it takes part actively in ...

A nonlinear modeling approach for zero-currentswitch (ZCS) quasi-resonant converters (QRC) is proposed which can be derived easily using simple analytical techniques. The converter model obtained is readily absorbed by MATLAB for analysis and design of both the openand closed-loop configurations in fast speed. Simulations have shown its accuracy, even for large-signal transient responses. Appli...
متن کاملOn Model Predictive Control of Quasi-Resonant converters
In this paper, different model predictive control synthesis frameworks are examined for DC–DC quasi-resonant converters in order to achieve stability and desired performance. The performances of model predictive control strategies which make use of different forms of linearized models are compared. These linear models are ranging from a simple fixed model, linearized about a reference steady st...
