This paper presents a high efficiency asymmetrical pulse width modulated dc-dc converter for photovoltaic application. The proposed dc-dc converter reduces the switching losses and current loss by zero voltage switching techniques. Moreover, the resonant circuit composed of the leakage inductance of the transformer and the blocking capacitor provides the zero-current switching (ZCS) turn-off fo...

This paper presents a power factor correction (PFC) based canonical switching cell (CSC) converter-fed brushless dc motor (BLDCM) drive for low-power household applications. The speed of BLDCM is controlled by varying the dc-bus voltage of voltage source inverter (VSI). The BLDCM is electronically commutated for reduced switching losses in VSI due to low-frequency switching. A front-end CSC con...

– This paper presents theory, simulation and experimental verification of a new direct power control (DPC) method in comparison with the conventional switching table based method. In the presented strategy, hysteresis comparators and switching table are replaced by a PWM modulator. The required converter voltage in each sampling period is directly calculated based on measured currents and volta...

A new zero voltage switching (ZVS) dc / dc converter operating on constant frequency and having wide linearity is proposed. ZVS operations are achieved not only for the primary switches but also for the secondary rectifier diodes to reduce the switching stresses and losses. The proposed converter also overcomes the other shortcomings of the conventional resonant dc / dc converters such as high ...

Received Feb 13, 2017 Revised Apr 30, 2017 Accepted May 15, 2017 Switching frequency modulation (SFM) as spread-spectrum technique has been used for electromagnetic interference reduction in switching power converters. In this paper, a switching-frequency-modulated boost power factor correction (PFC) converter operating in continuous conduction mode is analysed in detail in terms of its input p...

A bidirectional isolated full-bridge dc–dc converter with a conversion ratio around nine times, soft startup, and soft-switching features for battery charging/discharging is proposed in this paper. The converter is equipped with an active flyback and two passive capacitor diode snubbers, which can reduce voltage and current spikes and reduce voltage and current stresses, while it can achieve ne...

This paper presents the design and simulation of a Full Bridge Soft Switched DC-DC Converter, working with an internal frequency of 20khz with an output power of 5kw. Since the ZVS range is independent of the switch capacitance, IGBT’S are used by adding the external capacitors to the switches without increasing the switching losses. However, it is not easy to design a hard-switched converter s...

The emergence of PV inverter and Electric Vehicles (EVs) has created an increased demand for high power densities and high efficiency in power converters. Silicon carbide (SiC) is the candidate of choice to meet this demand, and it has, therefore, been the object of a growing interest over the past decade. The Boost converter is an essential part in most PV inverters and EVs. This paper present...

We have developed a new isolated AC/DC converter for electric vehicle on-board chargers. It consists of an AC/DC converter with Gradationally Controlled Voltage Inverter (GCVI AC/DC converter) and an isolated Zero-Voltage-Switching (ZVS) DC/DC converter, each of which is optimally controlled to convert in a highly efficient means. As a result, the new on-board charger has achieved a power conve...
