This paper presents a phase shifted series resonant converter with step up high frequency transformer to achieve the functions of high output voltage, high power density and wide range of Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS). In this approach, the output voltage is controlled by varying the switching frequency. The controller has been designed to achieve a good stability under different load conditions. The converter will react to the load variation by varying its switching frequency to satisfy the output voltage requirements. Therefore in order to maintain constant output voltage, for light load (50% of the load), the switching frequency will be decreased to meet the desired output, while for the full load (100%) conditions, the switching frequency will be increased. Since the controlled switching frequency is limited by the range between the higher and lower resonant frequencies , the switches can be turned on under ZVS. In this study, a laboratory experiment has been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the system performance.

In this work, an inductive wireless power transfer module powered by resonant converter is studied. The system consists of a zero voltage switching resonant converter and a rotary wireless power transmitter. The design of the rotary wireless power transmitter is presented. Simulation and experimental studies of the system confirm reliable operation of the power electronic converter with a wide range of loads. The zero voltage switching is maintained without significant adjustments in the switching frequency. This improves the system stability with variations in the air gap between transmitting and receiving modules or the magnetic coupling ratio. The studied system is suitable for powering loads placed on a rotating platform or other applications where the disadvantages of moving electrical contacts are undesirable.

This paper presents a technique to control the output voltage of a series-parallel (SP) topology inductive power transfer (IPT) system using only a controller, located on the primary side. This reduces the cost, size, complexity and loss of the system compared to conventional IPT dual-side controllers. An asymmetrical duty cycle control (ADC) of full-bridge inverters was used to control the DC output voltage to its designed value. Additionally, a zero voltage switching (ZVS) operation can be obtained at all power levels by varying the switching frequency of the inverter. Theoretical analysis was performed through a mutual inductance coupling model and verified by computer simulation. Experimental results of the circular magnetic structure IPT system with an adjustable air-gap confirm the validity of the proposed controller. The system efficiency was improved throughout the operation and the improvement became obvious as the output power was decreased.

This paper presents a study on a new full bridge series resonant converter (SRC) with wide zero voltage switching (ZVS) range, and higher output voltage. The high frequency transformer is connected in series with the LC series resonant tank. The tank inductance is therefore increased; all switches having the ability to turn on at ZVS, with lower switching frequency than the LC tank resonant frequency. Moreover, the step-up high frequency (HF) transformer design steps are introduced in order to increase the output voltage to overcome the gain limitation of the conventional SRC. Compared to the conventional SRC, the proposed converter has higher energy conversion, able to increase the ZVS range by 36%, and provide much higher output power. Finally, the a laboratory prototypes of the both converters with the same resonant tank parameters and input voltage are examined based on 1 and 2.2 kW power respectively, for veryfing  the reliability of the performance and the operation principles of both converters.

This paper presents the analysis and design of a dual active bridge DC-DC converter for fuel cell applications. The zero voltage switching operating condition of such converter is analyzed to select an appropriate turn ratio of the high frequency transformer for a high efficiency operation. The ratio between the output voltage to the fuel cell voltage should be close to the transformer turn ratio to guarantee the zero voltage switching regimes at a light load. The prototype converter was designed to be suitable for the input voltage of 40 to 65 V and output voltage of 360 to 400 V with the transformer turn ratio of 7.33. The converter was tested with a 48 V DC power supply and with a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell stack. The maximum power of 700 W was delivered and the efficiency was better than 94% for the whole load range.
