This paper presents two new circuit topologies of DC bus lineside active edge resonant snubber assisted soft-switching PWM full-bridge DC-DC converter acceptable for either utility AC 200V-rms or AC 400V-rms input voltage source. One topology of proposed DC-DC converters is composed of a typical voltage source-fed full-bridge high frequency PWM inverter using DC busline side series power semiconductor switching devices with the aid of a parallel capacitive lossless snubber. All the active power switches in the full-bridge arms and DC busline can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off commutations and the total turn-off switching power losses of all active switches can be reduced for high-frequency switching action. It is proved that the more the switching frequency of full-bridge soft switching inverter increases, the more soft-switching PWM DC-DC converter with a hish frequency transformer link has remarkable advantages for its efficiency and power density as compared with the conventional hard-switching PWM inverter type DC-DC converter

Equal rating DC-DC converter modules can be connected in series at the input for circuits requiring higher input voltages and in parallel at the output for circuits requiring higher output currents. Since the converter modules may not be practically identical, closed loop control has to ensure that each module equally shares the total input voltage and the load current. A control scheme consisting of a common output voltage loop, individual inner current loops and individual input voltage loops have been designed in this work to achieve input voltage and load current sharing as well as load voltage regulation under supply and load disturbances. The output voltage loop provides the basic reference for the inner current loops, which are also modified by the respective input voltage loops. The average of the converter input voltages, which is dynamically varying, is chosen as the reference for input voltage loops. This choice of reference eliminates interaction among different control loops. Type II compensators and Fuzzy Logic Controllers (FLCs) are designed and compared through MATLAB based simulation and FLC is found to be satisfactory. Hence TMS320F2407A DSP based FLC is implemented and the results are presented which prove the superiority of the FLC developed for this research.

By using the state plane approach, the steady state analysis and design of a half bridge parallel-series (LLC-type) resonant converter (HBPSRC) operating in the continous conduction made is presented. The state-plane diagram representation of the converter response gives good insight into the converter operation. Based on this analysis, a set of steady state characteristic waves for HBPSRC is presented. A simple design procedure is given and design example for a 100watts, 30KHz HBPSRC is presented for illustrative purposes.

A novel integrated battery charger/discharger converter for a standardized battery module is proposed. Instead of using separate charger and discharger converters. it integrates these two converters into a single converter in order to minimize the size. the integrated charger/discharger converter not only regulates the solar array output power including the peak power tracking capability but also controls the battery charging/discharging current depending on the solar array output power and the load power. In addition it offers a regulated bus voltage which simplifies the power distribution/conversion for the pay load.

Due to high power ratings and low conduction loss, the IGBT has become more attractive in switching power supplies. However, its turn-on and turn-off characteristics cause severe switching loss and switching frequency limitation. This paper proposes 2.4kW, 48V, high efficiency half-bridge DC-DC converter using paralleled IGBT-MOSFET switch concept, where each of IGBT and MOSFET plays its part during on-periods and switching instants. The switching loss is analyzed by using the linearized model and the opteration of the converter are investigated by simulation results.

A new partial resonant three phase boost converter with high power factor and high efficiency is proposed. The proposed boost converter is constructed by using a resonant network in parallel with the swithch of the conventional boost converter. The devices are switched at zero voltage or zero current eliminating the switching loss. A new auxiliary partial resonant boost converter achieves zero-voltage switching(ZVS) or zero-current switching(ZCS) for all switch devices without increasing their voltage and current stresses.

This paper present an input-series output-parallel active-clamp-forward converter for low voltage dc/dc xEV application. The converter can achieve ZVS turn-on for all switches. An accurate small signal model of the converter which includes the effect of leakage inductance is given and controller design based on modeling is described. Experimental and simulation results from a 3.2kW, 100kHz prototype are presented in order to verify the validity of the converter operation and the designed control parameters.

In this paper, a soft switching DC-DC converter for AC module type photovoltaic (PV) module integrated converter is proposed. A push-pull converter is suitable for a low voltage PV AC module system because the step-up ratio of a high frequency transformer is high and the number of primary side switches is relatively small. However, the conventional push-pull converters do not have high efficiency because of high switching losses by hard switching and transformer losses (copper and iron losses) by high turns-ratio of the transformer. In the proposed converter, primary side switches are turned on at zero voltage switching (ZCS) condition and turned off at zero current switching (ZVS) condition through parallel resonance between secondary leakage inductance of the transformer and a resonant capacitor. Therefore the proposed push-pull converter decreases the switching loss using soft switching of the primary switches. Also, the turns-ratio of the transformer can be reduced by half using a voltage-doubler of secondary side. The theoretical analysis of the proposed converter is verified by simulation and experimental results.
