This paper presents parallel operation of ZVT(Zero Voltage Transition) FUll Bridge Converter with Dynamic Current Shared Inductor. In the conventional method, CT(Current Transformer) have been used tn share the load current equally with converters. In this system, at parallel operation of ZVT Full Bridge Converter, dynamic current shared inductor divides the same current of unit converter and ZVT circuit aids to high efficiency. Superiority of the characteristics is verified through the experiment with a 2[㎾], 50[㎑] prototype converter.

This paper presents parallel operation and control loop design of ZVT(Zero Voltage Transition) Full Bridge DC/DC Converter. At parallel operation of ZVT Full Bridge Converter, dynamic current shared inductor devides the same current of unit converter and ZVT circuit and aids to high efficiency in the system. Base on the modeling of ZVT. Full Bridge Converter, the control loop is designed using a simple two-pole, one-zero compensation circuit. To show the validity of the design procedures, the small signal analysis of the closed loop system and open loop system is carried out and the superiority of the dynamic characteristics is verified through the experiment with a 2kW, 50kHz prototype converter.

This paper proposes new single stage power factor correction (PFC) full bridge converter. The proposed converter is combined previous ZVS full bridge DC/DC converter with two inductors, two diodes, two magnetic coupling transformer for PFC. This process of power is isolated from the source and also regulate stable DC output voltage in a category. In this topology, the voltage stress of main switches is reduced by zero voltage switching. Moreover, the proposed converter doesn't need active PFC switch and auxiliarly circuits, like control and gating board, so it could decrease the size and cost and increase the efficiency.

A hold-up time compensation circuit is proposed to get high efficiency of the front-end phase-shifted full bridge DC/DC converter. The proposed circuit can make the phase-shifted full bridge front-end DC/DC converter built with 0.5 duty ratio so that the conduction loss of the primary side and voltage stress across rectifier in the secondary side are reduced and the higher efficiency can be obtained. Furthermore, the requirement of an output filter significantly can diminish due to the perfect filtered waveform. A 12V/100A prototype has been made and experimental results are given to verify the theoretic analysis and detailed features.

This paper introduces a novel dual Full-Bridge LLC(FBLLC)resonant converter for CC/CV Charge of the Battery for Electric Vehicles. One full-bridge LLC resonant converter operates with a fixed-resonant network and the other operates with a variable-resonant network for CC and CV mode operations. The proposed converter can achieve ZVS for all the primary switches and exhibits a highefficiency characteristics like aconventional single FBLLC resonant converter. In addition, the variable-resonant network helps minimize the switching-frequency variation. The dual structure makes the proposed converter possible to achieve ZVS and nearly ZCS for all the primary switches in CC mode operation. Since the proposed converter can operate at a fixed frequency in CV mode, it can minimize the circulating current and achieve nearly ZCS. A 6.6 kW prototype converter is implemented to verify the validity of proposed converter and the maximum efficiency of 98.3% was achieved.

This paper proposes a Phase-Shift Triple Full-Bridge (PSTB) Zero-Voltage Zero-Current-Switching (ZVZCS) converter with a high switching frequency and high efficiency. In the proposed converter, all three bridge legs are shared leading-legs, and all three transformers work in the Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM). Thus, all of the switches and diodes in the PSTB ZVZCS can be soft switched. Moreover, since all of the transformers can pass energy from the primary-side to the secondary-side when their primary-side currents are not zero, there is no circulating current. As a result, the PSTB ZVZCS converter can achieve a high efficiency at high operating frequencies. A theoretical analysis and the characteristics of the proposed converter are presented and verified on a 1MHz 200~300V/24V 1.2kW hardware prototype. The proposed converter can reach a peak efficiency of 96.6%.

This study proposes a high-efficiency phase-shifted full-bridge (PSFB) converter with a wide input voltage range. The conventional PSFB converter is a useful topology in high-power applications. This converter not only achieves the zero-voltage switching of the primary switches, but also has small RMS current in the primary side. However, because the conventional PSFB converter has large freewheeling current in the primary side when it is designed considering the hold-up time of the converter, such a converter has high conduction loss at the primary switches. To solve this problem, a new PSFB converter is proposed in this study. The experiment is implemented with an input voltage ranging from a 320 V-400 V and an output power specification of 715 W.

The full bridge converter have been used for high power system that is needed to switch the big current. So, EMI and stability problem is occurred. The Soft switching method is the solution to solve the above problem, But implementation of soft switching(ZVS: Zero Voltage Switching) is so complicate and expensive because of the DSP MCU and shift circuit. In this paper, we introduce the technical method for driving circuit of ZVS full bridge converter with 1st order delay circuit and logic elements. The realization of this method is so simple and cheap. The effectiveness of the proposed circuit is verified by experimental results.
