This paper a novel yet simple zero-voltage switching (ZVS) interleaved boost power factor correction (PFC )DC/DC converter used to charge the traction battery of an electric vehicle from the utility systems. The proposed topology consists of a passive auxiliary circuit, placed between two phases of the interleaved front-end boost DC-DC converter, provides enough current to charge and discharge ...

An enhanced soft switching technique for an interleaved boost converter has better performance characteristics when compared to conventional boost converter. As IBC operates under soft switching the main devices do not have any additional voltage & current stress on the auxiliary devices are at low level. Where main switches operates out of phase and share the output current while providing sof...

In this paper, a ZVS-PWM three-phase current fed push–pull dc–dc converter with reduced harmonics is proposed. When compared to single-phase topologies, the three-phase dc–dc conversion increases the power density, uses the magnetic core of the transformer more efficiently, reduces the stress on switches, and requires smaller filters since the frequency for its design is higher. The proposed co...

Hybrid energy storage system (HESS) can be adopted in hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and pure electric vehicles (HEV, PHEV, and EV), where a bidirectional DC-DC converter (BDC) is used to connect batteries and ultra-capacitors. The efficiency improvement of the BDC is beneficial to increase the efficiency viability of HESS. Due to ZVS, high efficiency can be obtained at heavy load operations while the...

Based on the loss distribution and efficiency analysis, a comparative study between a series resonant three-port bidirectional DC-DC converter (SR-TBC) and a multi-resonant three-port bi-directional DC-DC converter (MR-TBC) is reported here. By using the Fourier equivalent analysis method in hand, the resonant current, switching current expressions, zero voltage soft switching (ZVS) conditions ...

This paper presents implementations of a nonisolated, high voltage gain DC-DC converter. High voltage gain is achieved due to inclusion of resonance and transformer in the circuit. The performance of this converter is compared with two similar topologies namely coupled inductor-switched capacitor step-up converter and coupled inductor step-up converter. The proposed prototype is designed using ...

This paper presents the Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) performance of Dual Active Bridge (DAB) DC-DC converter for high power density aerospace applications. Switching transitions of the transistor occurring in favorable conditions such as device zero-voltage or zero-current is called as soft-switching. The benefits of soft-switching are reduced switching losses, switch stress, low electromagneti...

In this paper, we implement a circuit topology for the gold standard ATX80+.The total output power is 255 watts under full load operation. An active-clamping ZVS forward converter is adopted to provide main power and in secondary side, the BUCK circuit technology is adopted to provide 3 sets power +12V, +5V and +3.3V. To eliminate the current harmonics and to achieve high power factor, an activ...
