—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 paper presents a novel application of full-bridge series parallel resonant converter (FBSPRC) for dc source and secondary battery interface. Secondary batteries has been widely used in the application of residential, industrial and commercial energy storage systems because of its low energy conversion loss, which enhances the systems overall efficiency. A series parallel loaded resonant converter (SPRC) which is a subset of DC-DC converter can be operated with either zero-voltage turn-on (above resonant frequency) or zero current turn off (below resonant frequency) to eliminate the turn on and turn-off losses of the semiconductor devices. This converter is widely used to achieve reduction in size of the passive components of the converter such as inductor, capacitor and transformers. Simulation results based on a 12V 45Ah battery charger are proposed to validate the analysis and to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach. Satisfactory performance is obtained from the measured results. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the chosen battery charger.

An efficient power factor correction converter is presented. Two boost-topology switching cells are interleaved to minimize EMI while operating at lower switching frequency and soft switching to minimize losses. The result is a system with high conversion efficiency, able to operate in a pulse-width-modulation (PWM) way. Seven transition states of the ZVT converter in one switching period are described. In order to illustrate the operational principle key, implementation details, including simulations, are described. The validity of this converter is guaranteed by the obtained results.
