Analysis, design and implementation of zero-current transition interleaved boost converter

This paper proposes an AC-DC converter with the application of active type soft switching techniques. Boost converter with active snubber is used to achieve power factor correction. Boost converter main switch uses Zero Voltage Transition switching for turn on and Zero Current Transition switching for turn off. The active snubber auxillary switch uses Zero Current Switching for both turn on and turn off. Since all the switches of the proposed circuit are soft switched, overall component stress has been greatly reduced and the output DC voltage is expected to have low ripples. A small amount of auxillary switch current is made to flow to the output side by the help of coupling inductor. The proposed circuit is simulated using MATLAB Simulink. All the related waveforms are shown for the reference. The power factor is measured as 0.99 showing that the input current and input voltage is in phase with each other. The PFC circuit has very less number of components with smaller size and can be controlled easily at a wide line and load range.

An improved zero-voltage zero-current transition boost converter (IZVZCTBC) is introduced. This converter is basically a fourth-order DC-DC converter wherein a L-C-S (Inductor–Capacitor–Switch) resonant circuit is embedded for soft-switching. L-C-S tank network is the modified version of conventional ZVZCT switch cell. The main feature of L-C-S tank circuit is to enhance the performance of zero-voltage zero-current transition boost converter in terms of eliminating the high current stress, decreasing the switching losses and increasing the efficiency of converter. This converter exhibits both zero-voltage turn on and zero-current turn off switching characteristics based on the gating signals applied to switches. The principle of operation and time domain expressions of IZVZCT boost converter with L-C-S cell are presented. For the closed loop operation, digital controller is designed and the performance of the controller has been validated through simulation for different line and load variations. The mathematical and theoretical analysis is verified accurately by a 12-24 V, 30 W converter through PSIM simulation software and the results ensures that overall efficiency of the converter has improved to 97% along with elimination of current stress.
