Abstract The photoelectric properties of LED are affected by driving current and ambient temperature. To solve the problem of light wane caused by excessive current and overheating, LLC resonant converter with soft switching was chosen as the main topology, improving the power efficiency, and reducing the heat of the LED driver. Firstly, the soft-switching conditions of the LLC resonant converter are analyzed, and the constraint equation is obtained. Then, an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed to optimize the resonant parameters. The weight of particles is dynamically and adaptively changed to balance the global and local optimization performance of particles. Finally, the controller is designed to realize constant current. This design improves the efficiency of the LED driver. At the same time, the light wane is effectively suppressed by stable output current, and the rationality of the selected parameters is verified by simulation and experiment.

Purpose This paper aims to present an 8 kW LLC resonant converter designed for plasma power supply with higher efficiency and lighter structure. It presents how to solve the problems of large volume and weight, low performance and low efficiency of traditional plasma power supply. Design/methodology/approach At present, conventional silicon (Si) power devices’ switching performance is close to the theoretical limit determined by its material properties; the next-generation silicon carbide (SiC) power devices with outstanding advantages can be used to optimal design. This 8 kW LLC resonant converter prototype with silicon carbide (SiC) power devices with a modulated switching frequency ranges from 100  to 400 kHz. Findings The experimental results show that the topology, switching loss, rectifier loss, transformer loss and drive circuit of the full-bridge LLC silicon carbide (SiC) plasma power supply can be optimized. Research limitations/implications Due to the selected research object (plasma power supply), this study may have limited universality. The authors encourage the study of high frequency resonant converters for other applications such as argon arc welding. Practical implications This study provides a practical application for users to improve the quality of plasma welding. Originality/value The experimental results show that the full-bridge LLC silicon carbide (SiC) plasma power supply is preferred in operation under conditions of high frequency and high voltage. And its efficiency can reach 98%, making it lighter, more compact and more efficient than previous designs.
