LLC resonant converter is popular with industrial fields because it can be achieved high efficiency by zero voltage switching (ZVS). As interest grew, analysis of characteristics in LLC resonant converter have been actively studied. Generally, characteristic of LLC resonant converter is analyzed based on first harmonic approximation(FHA). The FHA analysis represents the characteristics of LLC resonant converter by obtaining the series resonant operation. FHA analysis of LLC resonant converter in load condition is correct. but it is not correct in no load condition. This paper proposed analysis of characteristics considering the parasitic components to overcome the limitation of FHA and analyze no-load characteristics. The validity of the proposed method has been investigated by simulation and experimental results.

The problem of noise generation due to PWM switched-mode power converter has been widely noticed from the viewpoint of Electromagnetic Interference(EMI). Many kings of topologies for resonant converters have been developed both to overcome this noise problem and to attain high power efficiency. It is reported in references that resonant converters which are derived from PWM converter using resonant switch show much lower noise characteristics than PWM converter, and that current-mode resonant converter is more sensitive to stored charge in rectifying diode than voltage-mode counterpart concerning surge generation at diode’s turn-off. On the other hand, above mentioned resonant converters have defect of high-voltage stress on semiconductor switch and complicated circuit configuration. Hence, the simplified Forward-type resonant converter has been proposed and investigated due to its prominent features of simplicity of circuit configuration, low voltage stress and high stability. However, its noise characteristics still remain unknown. The purpose of this paper is to study quantitatively the noise characteristics of this simplified Forward-type resonant converter by experiment and analysis. The influence of parasitic elements and stored charge in rectifying diode on noise generation has been clarified.

In order to improve the reliability and the stability of static power conversion system, further to optimize the operational characteristics of the system, it is very important to investigate the effects (output and switching component characteristics) of each parameters in the system. Therefore this paper particualrly deals with the characteristics of a novel ZVS multi-resonant conversion system to duty cycle, resonant capacitance, resonant inductance, and output capacitance. The results show that resonant inductance and output capacitance are dominat factors in the system.

The PLL(Phase-Locked Loop) techniques re employed to make the switching frequency of a resonant inverter follow the resonant frequency which may vary due to the load variations during operation. The conventional design guide of PLL is not suitable in these case since the inverter characteristics are not considered. In this paper the phase characteristics of a resonant inverter is analysed and added to the closed loop. And the design of PLL with digital phase detector is illustrated for the output frequency to track the resonant frequency of the inverter.

In this paper, bidirectional LLC-LC resonant DC-DC converter with notch filters in the primary side of resonant circuits is proposed. Even if resonant capacitors are used on the primary and secondary sides, the proposed converter can operate with the high gain characteristics of the LLC resonant converter without mutual coupling of resonant capacitors, regardless of the direction of power flow. In addition, by applying notch filters, the proposed converter can operate with a wider gain control range and can cope with overload and short circuit. The analysis and operating characteristics of the proposed bidirectional LLC-LC resonant converter are investigated. A 3.3 kW prototyped bidirectional LLC-LC resonant converter connected to 750 V_DC buses is designed and tested to verify the validity and applicability of this proposed converter.

A parallel resonant dc link inverter, one of the many resonant inverters, has some superior characteristics in camparision with other resonant inverters. But loss of the resonant oscillation and occurrence of high peak voltage in the resonant capacitor of these inverters are serious problems. In this paper, we investigate a control method for resonant dc link inverters which can overcome these problems. Experimental results are presented to show superior operation of the resonant dc link inverter using the proposed control method.

For the operation of the resonant DC link inverters, only limited number of modulation techniques such as the delta modulation and instantaneous current control techniques have been suggested. However, these modulation techniques have some limitations in practical operation. In this paper, the application of conventional inverter modulation techniques is suggested for the control of the resonant DC link inverter. The harmonic analysis results are presented. The results show that these modulation techniques offer good output characteristics similar to conventional inverter PWM techniques for the operation of the resonant DC link inverter. This implies that not only the delta modulation technique and instantaneous current control techniques but also various other modulation techniques can be applied to the operation of the resonant DC link inverter. This also indicates that open loop control as well as closed loop control can be used for the operation of the resonant inverter. The resonant DC link inverter with various modulation strategies is implemented using V-40 microprocessors.

Compared to LC resonance, LCL resonance has distinct advantages such as a large resonant capability, low voltage and current stresses of the power device, constant voltage or current output characteristics, and fault-tolerance capability. Thus, LCL resonant compensation is employed for a movable Inductive Contactless Power Transfer (ICPT) system with a multi-load in this paper, which achieves constant current output characteristics. Peculiarly, the primary side adopts a much larger compensation inductor than the primary leakage inductor to lower the reactive power, reduce the input current ripple, generate a large current in the primary side, and realize soft-switching. Furthermore, this paper proposes an approximate resonant point for large inductor-ratio LCL resonant compensation through fundamental wave analysis. In addition, the PWM control strategy is used for this system to achieve constant current output characteristics. Finally, an experimental platform is built, whose secondary E-Type coils can ride and move on a primary rail. Simulations and experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness and accuracy of both the theory and the design method.

This paper analyzes a resonant inverter to generate plasma. The resonant inverter consists of a full bridge converter, resonant network and reactor to generate a magnetic field for plasma generation. A plasma load has very distinct characteristics compared to conventional loads. The characteristics of plasma load are analyzed through experimental results. This paper presents the study on the resonant network, which was performed in order to determine how to achieve a constant current gain. Another important contribution of this study is the analysis of drop-out phenomenon observed in plasma loads which is responsible for unpredictable shutdown of the plasma generator that requires stable operation. In addition, the design process for the resonant network of a plasma generator is proposed. The validity of this study is verified through simulations and experimental results.
