This paper is focused on the design of a control approach, based on the detection of events and changing between two different conduction modes, to reach high efficiency over the entire power range, especially at medium and low power levels. Although the proposed control strategy can be generalized for different topologies and specifications, in this paper, the strategy is validated in a SiC-based synchronous boost DC/DC converter rated for 400 V to 800 V and 10 kW. Evaluation of the power losses and current waveforms of the converter for different conduction modes and loads predicts suitable performance of quasi-square wave mode with zero voltage switching (QSW-ZVS) conduction mode for low and medium power and of continuous conduction Mode with hard switching (CCM-HS) for high power. Consequently, this paper proposes a control strategy, taking advantage of digital control, that allows automatic adjustment of the conduction mode to optimize the performance for different power ranges.

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.

Mathematical analysis and stability prediction of soft switched isolated dc-dc converter is presented in this paper. Half bridge dc-dc converter is an attractive topology for low voltage applications due to its simplicity, lower cost, improved reliability and enhanced dynamic performance. Both power semiconductor switches of the proposed isolated converter operate asymmetrically under Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) to achieve high efficiency and low voltage stress. Furthermore, the ringing resulted from the oscillation between the transformer leakage inductance and the junction capacitance of two switches is eliminated. Conversion efficiency is also improved by providing synchronous rectifier with very small output filter. The operating principle, state space analysis and control strategy of proposed converter is explained with small signal model. Experimental results are presented to explain the zero voltage switching capability and stability features of proposed converter.
