Abstract
A new technique for improving the efficiency of single-phase high-frequency boost converter is proposed. This converter includes an additional low-frequency boost converter which is connected to the main high-frequency switching device in parallel. The additional converter is controlled at lower frequency. Most of the current flows in the low-frequency switch and so, high-frequency switching loss is greatly reduced accordingly. Both switching device are controlled by a simple method; each controller consists of a comparator, a frequency generator and an error amplifier. The converter works cooperatively in high efficiency and acts as if it were a conventional high-frequency boost converter with one switching device, The proposed method is verified by simulation and experiment. This paper describes the converter configuration and design, and discusses the steady-state performance concerning the switching loss reduction and efficiency improvement.
