A novel topology of isolated input-series and output-series (ISOS) full-bridge bidirectional DC/DC converter is described in this paper for the application requirement of high input voltage and high output voltage, which can be used in the next generation medium and high voltage power conversion systems. The proposed novel isolated bidirectional DC/DC converter not only can apparently decrease the stress of the switches, but also have the advantages, such as galvanic isolation, ease of realizing soft-switching control, high power density, and so on. In this paper, working principle of the proposed DC/DC converter is discussed in detail, the corresponding equations are derived, and the soft switching implementation is discussed too. In the end, simulation is done through PSIM to certify the feasibility of the proposed DC/DC converter and accuracy of the criterion.

A hybrid PWM converter is proposed and investigated to realize the benefits of wide zero-voltage switching (ZVS) operation, wide voltage input operation, and low circulating current for direct current (DC) wind power conversion and solar PV power conversion applications. Compared to the drawbacks of high freewheeling current and hard switching operation of active devices at the lagging-leg of conventional full bridge PWM converter, a three-leg PWM converter is studied to have wide input-voltage operation (120–600 V). For low input-voltage condition (120–270 V), two-leg full bridge converter with lower transformer turns ratio is activated to control load voltage. For high input-voltage case (270–600 V), PWM converter with higher transformer turns ratio is operated to regulate load voltage. The LLC resonant converter is connecting to the lagging-leg switches in order to achieve wide load range of soft switching turn-on operation. The high conduction losses at the freewheeling state on conventional full bridge converter are overcome by connecting the output voltage of resonant converter to the output rectified terminal of full bridge converter. Hence, a 5:1 (600–120 V) hybrid converter is realized to have less circulating current loss, wide input-voltage operation and wide soft switching characteristics. An 800 W prototype is set up and tested to validate the converter effectiveness.

This paper studied a hybrid resonant converter with three half bridge legs for wide input voltage operation. Compared to the conventional resonant converters with narrow voltage operation, the presented converter can achieve wider voltage operation. On the basis of the proper switching status of power switches, the developed converter can operate at half-bridge resonant circuit under high input voltage range and the other two full-bridge resonant circuits under medium and low input voltage ranges. Each resonant circuit has a 2:1 (Vin,max = 2Vin,min) input voltage operation range. Therefore, the developed converter can achieve an 8:1 (Vin,max = 8Vin,min) wide voltage operation. The main advantage of the studied converter is the single-stage direct current (DC)/DC power conversion instead of the two-stage power conversion to achieve wide voltage operation. Because the equivalent resonant tank of the adopted converter is controlled by frequency modulation, the soft switching operation on power switches or rectifier diodes can be realized to improve circuit efficiency. The performance of the proposed circuit was confirmed and verified by experiments with a laboratory circuit.
