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.

Penggunaan konverter arus searah sebagai penghasil tegangan arus searah  sudah mengalami perkembangan. Rangkaian konverter arus searah diatur dengan menggunakan rangkaian kontrol Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) yang digunakan sebagai pengendali saklar. Proses ketika saklar mengalami kondisi nyala dan mati mengakibatkan terjadinya rugi-rugi pensaklaran. Masalah tersebut dapat diatasi dengan menggunakan metode soft-switching. Salah satu metode soft-switching yang digunakan adalah Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS). Teknik pensaklaran ZVS dapat membuat saklar bekerja ketika tegangan bernilai nol. Teknik pensaklaran tegangan nol ini dapat mengurangi rugi - rugi pensaklaran yang terjadi, sehingga  dapat meningkatkan efisiensi konverter arus searah yang digunakan sebagai catu daya motor arus searah. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian, rangkaian konverter arus searah tipe ZVS buck converter dapat menghasilkan daya keluaran sebesar 103,77 watt dengan nilai efisiensi sebesar 94,83%. Nilai efisiensi tertinggi terjadi ketika diberi beban statis berupa resistor 500 Ω sebesar 99,77%.

—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.

This manuscript presents a novel high gain, high efficiency Soft-switching high step-up DC/DC converter for battery-operated vehicles. The high step-up converter can transfer the power flow from the small voltage to high voltage. The conventional two input inductor hard switched non-isolated DC-DC converter improved with an additional auxiliary cell to attain the Zero voltage switching, due to obtaining the softswitching the efficiency may improve and reduces the stress across the main switches. The isolated converters are used as a transformer to attain high gain, whereas in the proposed converter obtains the high gain without a transformer and contains the high efficiency in the step-up mode of operation. The main aim of the converter is to attain the Zero voltage switching without using any additional auxiliary switches. In this paper, the input voltage applied as 30V, and the obtained output voltage is fifteen times to the applied voltage, which is 450V and the output power 850W. This paper mainly presents the theoretical analysis of converter operation and the evaluation of the simulation results validated with the theoretical analysis.
