Recently, the LLC resonant converter has drawn a lot of attention due to its advantages over the conventional series resonant converter and parallel resonant converter: narrow frequency variation over wide load and input variation and Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) of the switches for entire load range. This paper presents an analysis and reviews practical design considerations for the LLC-type r...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a different type of converter circuit used to drive switched reluctance motors. It continues with detailed discussion on the resonant converter armed at minimizing or eliminating the transistors switching losses. Finally the drive has been tested on a disc-type reluctance motor for the perfomance and functionality.

This paper proposes the concept of three phase ac to ac resonant converter for Induction heater. As compared with basic converters, ac to ac resonant converter has advantages of less components count, low cost, high reliability and better efficiency.

The small-signal modeling technique based on the extended describing function concept is applied to LCC resonant converters. The analytical model developed includes both frequency control and phase-shift control. The small-signal equivalent circuit models are also derived and implemented in PSPICE. The models are in good agreement with the measurement data. 1. INTRODUCTION An LCC resonant conve...

A soft-switching buck converter is proposed for battery charging application. This converter can also be used with other low voltage miniature applications. Resonant inductor and capacitor helps to turn on-off the switch at zero current. This reduces switching losses in our conventional converter. In order to determine two (current) zero-cross points for switch-on and switch-off, the quasi-reso...

The phase shift full bridge (PSFB) converter allows high efficiency power conversion at high frequencies through zero voltage switching (ZVS); the parasitic drain-to-source capacitance of the MOSFET is discharged by a resonant inductance before the switch is gated resulting in near zero turn-on switching losses. Typically, an extra inductance is added to the leakage inductance of a transformer ...

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...

A single-phase ac-to-dc converter using threephase modified series-parallel resonant converter is proposed in this paper. The three-phase resonant converter is analyzed using Fourier series approach. The design curves for a resonant converter of 2.5 kW rating are plotted. The converter components are selected based on the design curves. The converter is simulated for different load conditions u...

In this paper a modified form of the most efficient resonant LLC series parallel converter configuration is proposed. The proposed system comprises of an additional LC circuit synchronized with the existing resonant tank of LLC configuration (LLC-LC configuration). With the development of power electronics devices, resonant converters have been proved to be more efficient than conventional conv...

A novel ZVZCS isolated dual series-resonant active-clamp dc–dc converter is proposed to obtain high efficiency. The proposed converter employs an active-clamp technique, while a series-resonant scheme controls the output voltage with the complementary pulse width modulation controller. The active-clamp circuit serves to recycle the energy stored in the leakage inductance or the magnetizing ...
