A LLC resonant converter with hold-up time extension technique for computer power supply is proposed. Since the proposed circuit has a current boost-up capability of resonant inductor regardless of the input voltage level and the load power condition, operating near the resonant frequency, it can provide the power to the load as the input voltage drops to half of reflected output voltage to the transformer primary. This extends the hold-up time of computer power supply and improves the system power density and conversion efficiency at nominal input voltage. The experimental results with prototype are given to confirm the validity of the proposed circuit.

This paper describes the static and dynamic characteristic analysis of the Series Resonant DC to DC Converter with frequency control. The natural commutation of all switch element is realized when the switching frequency is below the resonant frequency of the tank circuit, and the analysis is limited to only this region. For the analysis method, state plane technique is adopted, and each operation mode is defined from normalized switching frequency Fsn. Under this condition, circuit performance is analyzed ideally. The physical characteristics of the series resonant converter is easily grasped by this analysis method with frequency control and this analytical results are directly applicable to the actual converter design. The validity of the analysis is verified by comparing with experimental results and the stability of the converter is confirmed against small variations around the operating point by conventional frequency domain analysis.

This paper proposed a new partial resonant 3.PHI. AC-DC boost converter of high efficiency using lossless snubber. The proposed converter, DCM (Discontinuous Current Mode) has a merit of simple controlled circuit because the input current control discontinuously. But turned off switching loss and stress of the switching device increase when the switch turned off at the peak of current. Therefore, the paper improves efficiency by adopting the PRS$^{2}$(Partial Resonant Soft Switching) in 3.PHI. AC-DC boost converter and makes the unity power factor. The PRS$^{2}$ is reduced a current/voltage stresses of switching devices. Also, a DCMPRS$^{2}$M(Discontinuous Conduction Mode Partial Resonant Soft Switching Method) appear the current and voltage equation of this circuit. The paepr examine in a 3.PHI. AC-DC boost converter and show the result of that.

An ideal and an approximate eauivalent circuits of a face-mounted PZT piezoelectric transformer were introduced from the equivalent circuit taking into account the mechanical loss of a PZT piezoelectric disk vibrator. And several expressions for the resonant frequencies and for the voltage ratios were derived from the approximate circuit of the transformer. From the experiments on the vltage ratios regarding the frequency variation without load and on the load variation at resonant frequency, it was found that the voltage ratio increased with the increase of load resistance and decreased sharply with the slight deviation from the resonant frequency, and that no-load voltage ratio at the resonant frequency was proportional to the product of the mechanical quality factor and the square of the electromechanical coupling factor of the vibrator.

A zero voltage switching (ZVS) three level auxiliary resonant commutated pole inverter (ARCPI) is presented for high power GTO inverters. The concept of ARCP for two level inverter is extended to the three inverter. The proposed auxiliary commutation circuit consists of one resonant inductor and two bi-directional switches, which provides ZVS condition to the main devices without increasing device voltage or current stresses. The auxiliary device operates with zero current switching (ZCS) which enables use of the low cost thyristors. The proposed ARCPI can handle higher voltage and higher power (1-10MVA) comparing to the two level one. Operation and analysis of the ARCPI are illustrated and the features are compared o those of the snubber circuit incorporated three level inverter. Experimental results with 10kW, 4kHz prototype are presented to verify the principle of operation. (author). refs., figs., tab.

In this paper, an interleaved boost converter (IBC) with ZVT cell using a single resonant inductor in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is proposed. The IBC with the proposed ZVT cell has advantages such as a simple circuit, reduced size and low cost by using a single resonant inductor. It is more suitable for high power applications. The proposed ZVT cell circuit and principles for the IBC are explained in detail. The validity of the IBC with proposed ZVT cell is verified through experimental results.

In this paper a high efficiency bidirectional resonant converterfor Vehicle-to-Grid applications (V2G) is proposed.The proposed converter has adopted an LC auxiliary circuit in the third winding of the transformer. With the proposed method full softswitching can be ensured in all switches over a wide range of loadsand the secondary ringing can be removed with no additional snubber or clamp circuitry.In addition, since the proposed resonant converter is able to operate at an almost constant resonant frequencyregardless of the load, CC/CV charge of the battery can be simply implemented with high efficiency. A 3.3 kW bidirectional converter for On-Board Charger of Electric Vehicle is implemented to verify the validity of the proposed method. The experimental results show the high efficiency characteristics of the proposed converter over the wide range of load in both charge and discharge mode. The maximum efficiency of the proposed system was 98.13 % at 2.3 kW during the constant voltage mode charge operation.

This paper focuses on development of new conveyer directly driven by the contact-less energy transmission system. The effect of the resonant circuit and the flux linkage characteristics caused from that are analyzed by using 3D finite element analysis. From the result it is shown that the resonant circuit needs to transfer energy from the primary core to the secondary core. Also the influence of the linear induction motor on the contact-less energy transmission system is presented. New conveyer and the experimental apparatus was manufactured by using the contact-less energy transmission system and the linear induction motor. Possibility of realization of the conveyer is proved by comparison the simulation result which is obtained by using 2D finite element analysis with experimental one and the characteristic of the voltage and resonant current.
