This paper presents 250W, 20 KHz LCL resonant inverter having Efficiencies greater than 95% were obtained down to resistive loads of 50%. Efficiencies greater than 80% were obtained at significantly reduced loads (11%). Operation above resonance was utilized to increase the efficiency and maintain zero voltage switching (ZVS) for varied loads. Total harmonic distortion (THD) of less than 8% was achieved for all resistive loads. The above results were obtained from evaluation version of PSIM also used to model the LCL topology for varied loads and LCL configurations. A LCL Resonant Inverter is proposed for applications in high frequency distributed AC power systems.

—This The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) DC-to-AC inverter has been widely used in many applications due to its circuit simplicity and rugged control scheme. It is however driven by a hard-switching pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter, which has low switching frequency, high switching loss, high electro-magnetic interference (EMI), high acoustic noise and low efficiency, etc. To solve these problems of the hard-switching inverter, many soft-switching inverters have been designed in the past. Unfortunately, high device voltage stress, large dc link voltage ripples, complex control scheme and so on are noticed in the existing soft-switching inverters. This proposed work overcomes the above problems with simple circuit topology and all switches work in zero-voltage switching condition. Comparative analysis between conventional open loop, PI and fuzzy logic based soft switching inverter is also presented and discussed. Keywords—Zero voltage switching, Inverter, Dc link, PI controller, Fuzzy logic system control ,Modulation strategy, Soft switching

This paper presents the functions of Series-Loaded Resonant Converter (SLRC). Series Loaded Resonant DC-DC converter is a type of soft-switching topology widely known for providing improved efficiency. Zero voltage switching (ZVS) buck converter is more preferable over hard switched buck converter for low power, high frequency DC-DC conversion applications. Zero Voltage switching techniques will be used to improve the efficiency of current and voltage at the series loaded half-bridge rectifier. The results will be described from PSIM simulation, Programming of MATLAB calculation and hardware testing.
