The growing attention for plug-in electric vehicles, and the associated high-performance demands, have initiated a development trend towards highly efficient and compact on-board battery chargers. These isolated ac–dc converters are most commonly realized using two conversion stages, combining a non-isolated power factor correction (PFC) rectifier with an isolated dc–dc converter. This, however...

It has the advantage of better magnetic core utilization and better performance for high power applications. The major portion of the input is transferred to the load through ac-dc conversion. And the part of the input power is delivered to th...

A zero voltage switching (ZVS) dc–dc converter with high voltage gain is proposed. It consists of a ZVS boost switch cell converter stage and a ZVS half-bridge converter stage with resonant converter and all these stages are merged into a single stage. The ZVS boost converter stage provides a continuous input current and ZVS operation of the power switches. The ZVS halfbridge converter stage pr...

Conventional energy sources are fast depleting due to poor conservation practises and excessive usage while the world’s energy demands are growing by minute. Additionally, the cost of producing conventional energy is rising also leading to an increase in harmful environmental pollution. Hence, there is a need to look at alternative energy sources such as sun, water and wind. Photovoltaic (PV) i...

The proposed converter achieves zero-voltage-switched (ZVS) turn-on of active switches in CCM and zero-current-switched turn-off of diodes leading to negligible reverserecovery loss. The compo...

With the increasing demand for power from the ac line and more stringent limits for power quality, power factor correction has gained great attention in recent years. A variety of circuit topologies and control methods have been developed for the PFC application. While the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) converters such as boost and flyback converters are well suited for low power applicati...
