A new soft-switching boost converter is proposed in this paper. The conventional boost converter generates switching losses at turn ON and OFF, and this causes a reduction in the whole system’s efficiency. The proposed boost converter utilizes a soft switching method using an auxiliary circuit with a resonant inductor and capacitor, auxiliary switch, and diodes. Therefore, the proposed soft-switching boost converter reduces switching losses more than the conventional hard-switching converter. The efficiency, which is about 91% in hard switching, increases to about 97% in the proposed soft-switching converter. In this paper, the performance of the proposed soft-switching boost converter is verified through the theoretical analysis, simulation, and experimental results.

<span>This paper presents the design and operation of three-stage buck-boost converter with high gain soft switching using closed loop proportional integral (PI) controller. The proposed converter is designed by arranging three identical buck-boost converters working in parallel. The converter units are connected to each other by an inductor as a bridge. This inductor plays a vital role in soft switching operation of converter by maintaining the voltage applied to switches at zero voltage at switching intervals, i.e., the zero-voltage switching (ZVS). The closed-loop system is designed by PI controller, and it maintains the output constant irrespective of changes in input, and the system becomes stable. The proposed converter is efficient in reducing switching losses, leading to improved converter efficiency. Due to parallel operation of three identical converters, the output voltage and input current contain fewer ripples than those of a single converter with same specifications. Proposed converter is more economical and reliable with simpler structure as it utilizes only two inductors as extra elements. The design and analysis of proposed circuit has been carried out in MATLAB Simulink by operating the circuit in various modes.</span>

This study presents an improved zero voltage switching (ZVS) boost converter with an active snubber cell providing soft switched operation for all semiconductors. The active snubber cell reduces the reverse recovery loss of the boost diode and also provides the zero voltage transition (ZVT) Turn-on and ZVS Turn-off for the boost switch. The zero current switching (ZCS) Turn-on and ZVS Turn-off for the snubber switch is also achieved. All diodes in the converter can be operated with soft switching (SS). In the snubber cell, SS energy can be transfered effectively to the output by the use of a snubber inductor and a capacitor. This energy transfer allows the use of additional parallel connected capacitor to the boost switch to provide ZVS turning off. There is no additional voltage and current stress on the boost switch and boost diode. The voltage stress of the snubber switch is also limited by the output voltage and the current stress of the snubber switch is reduced by the energy transfer to the output. SS operating of the semiconductors is maintained at very wide load ranges. The operation of the proposed converter is presented with a detailed steady state analysis. The predicted theoretical analysis is validated by a prototype with 500[Formula: see text]W output power and 100[Formula: see text]kHz operating frequency. The measured maximum efficiency values are obtained as approximately 97% and 85.4% at full load and 10% load conditions, respectively.

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.

This paper suggests a soft-switching bidirectional three-level DC–DC converter with a simple auxiliary circuit. The proposed converter uses auxiliary LC resonant circuits so that the power switches operate under a soft-switching condition. The resonant operation of the LC circuits makes power switches turn on at zero voltage, eliminating the turn-on switching power losses. The proposed converter improves the power efficiency, not using complex power switching circuits, but using simple LC resonant circuits. The operation of the proposed converter is described according to its operation modes. Experimental results for a 1.0 kW prototype are discussed to verify its performance. The proposed converter achieved the power efficiencies of 97.7% in the step-up mode and 97.8% in the step-down mode, respectively, for the rated load condition.
