Interleaved Boost Full Bridge integrated LLC resonant (IBFB- LLC) is an isolated DC/DC converter with directional power flow, which can cope with a wide input voltage range of PV applications. The main losses of the converter are switching losses of the power switches and transformers losses. This paper proposes a method to improve the efficiency of the IBFB converter due to zero voltage switching technique, in combination with employing new SiC MOSFET technology instead of the conventional Si MOSFET. In addition, Litz wire is also adopted to reduce the losses on the high frequency isolation transformer. Both numerical simulations and experiments with a prototype 2.5kW converter are implemented to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed solution.

A new circuit structure of LLC converter is studied and implemented to achieve wide zero-voltage switching range and wide voltage operation such as consumer power units without power factor correction and long hold up time demand, battery chargers, photovoltaic converters and renewable power electronic converters. The dc converter with the different secondary winding turns is adopted and investigated to achieve the wide input voltage operation (50–400 V). To meet wide voltage operation, the full bridge and half bridge dc/dc converters with different secondary turns can be selected in the presented circuit to have three different voltage gains. According to input voltage range, the variable frequency scheme is employed to have the variable voltage gain to overcome the wide input voltage operation. Therefore, the wide soft switching load variation and wide voltage operation range are achieved in the presented resonant circuit. The prototype circuit is built and tested and the experiments are demonstrated to investigate the circuit performance.

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.

DC–DC converters have wide applications in industries, motor drive circuits, electric vehicles, and power supplies. In traditional converters hard switching occurs due to switching losses. This imposes constraints on the converter’s efficiency which results in heat dissipation and reduction in the converter’s life. The proposed converter aims to encounter the hard switching problem with the provision of soft switching features. The presented topology is efficient with respect to the features of cost, compact size and durable lifetime of converter topology with the provision of low switching stresses. This research work proposes a novel stepdown converter with zero voltage switching characteristics. With the use of half bridge inverter switches and series resonant components in the auxiliary circuit, the target of zero voltage switching and reduction in switching stresses has been achieved. The proposed 500 W converter is designed to operate at frequency of 100 KHz with 300 V source input voltage. Output voltage of the converter is 150 V.

This paper studies and implements a power converter to have less current ripple output and wide voltage input operation. A three-leg converter with different primary turns is presented on its high-voltage side to extend the input voltage range. The current doubler rectification circuit is adopted on the output side to have low current ripple capability. From the switching states of the three-leg converter, the presented circuit has two equivalent sub-circuits under different input voltage ranges (Vin = 120–270 V or 270–600 V). The general phase-shift pulse-width modulation is employed to control the presented converter so that power devices can be turned on at zero voltage in order to reduce switching loss. Compared to two-stage circuit topologies with a wide voltage input operation, the presented converter has the benefits of simple circuit structure, easy control algorithm using a general integrated circuit or digital controller, and less components. The performance of the presented circuit is confirmed and validated by an 800 W laboratory prototype.
