The ZVS-SVM controlled three-phase boost rectifier can realize ZVS operation for all switching devices. In this paper, the operation principal and design guideline are described in detail. The soft switching restriction is analyzed in particular. The experimental results of a 40 kW hardware prototype are presented to show the superiority of the topology and the reduction on loss.
A novel integrated EMI filter structure is proposed in this paper, based on FML foils. It integrates common mode inductors and differential mode capacitors and inductors into a single unit. A novel interleaved flexible multi-layer (FML) foil structure is proposed to overcome the difficulty of enlarging the DM capacitance. A prototype is constructed based on this concept and was put into a front-end...
The full-bridge series-parallel resonant converters (also known as LCC resonant converters) with capacitive output filter is evaluated in high output voltage (>50 kV), high power (>50 kW) and high frequency (20 kHz) ESP (Electrostatic Precipitator) power supply applications. By using the leakage inductance and the winding capacitance of the transformer as the resonant elements only an additional...
This paper presents an analysis on electrolytic capacitor-less inverter and proposes a strategy for resonance suppression control for a DC-link voltage and input current in electrolytic capacitor-less inverter. The proposed electrolytic capacitor-less inverter can operate both in the motoring mode and regenerating mode owing to its inherent bidirectional power flow capability of the active front-end...
The proposed methodology encompasses four study phases that address the following key design aspects of integrated power modules (IPM) for voltage regulators: Fundamental switching understanding, determination of compact/accurate loss expressions and derivation of design rules, guidelines and figure of merits for converter optimisation. The applied methods are based on several modelling approaches...
The life time of lighting emitting diode (LED) can reach 100,000 hours. Compared to other power supplies, the power supply for LED requires long life time in addition to high efficiency and high power factor. Electrolytic capacitor has the shortest life in switching power supplies. In order to prolong the life time of power supply, it is necessary to reduce the storage capacitance and use other kind...

The design of a high voltage, high power and high frequency transformer is introduced considering its operation in the LCC resonant converter. The leakage inductance and winding capacitance of the transformer are used as the resonant elements. An additional series resonant capacitor is added to form the LCC topology. The discontinuous current mode (DCM) is adopted to achieve the ZCS turn-on and ZVZCS...
Nowadays, portable applications are very important in telecommunications, business and entertainment markets. Handheld devices like ultra mobile PCs, cell phones, PDAs and mobile Internet devices are battery-dependant. Synchronous buck converter (SBC) is extensively used as voltage regulator (VR) in mobile devices; however, at very light-load operation, the converter efficiency is severely reduced...
Energy storage requirements for converters with a dc port and a single-phase grid-connected port are evaluated, based on the unavoidable double-frequency power requirement. The minimum energy storage requirement is linked to a minimum capacitance requirement for converters that use capacitance energy storage. It is shown how to employ a ripple power port to manage energy storage and decouple capacitor...
It is well known that there exist second-order harmonic current and corresponding ripple voltage on dc bus for single phase PWM rectifiers. The low frequency harmonic current is normally filtered using a bulk capacitor in the bus which results in low power density. This paper studies the energy storage capacitor reduction methods for single phase rectifiers. The minimum ripple energy storage requirement...
This paper proposes a ripple reduction method in current without using any additional switching devices. The current ripple that has double frequency component of the power supply is generated in the DC part when a single-phase PWM inverter is used for a grid connection. The current ripple causes short lifetime for electrolytic capacitors, batteries and fuel cells. The proposed circuit realizes a...
In this paper, the design guideline for a high-power-density inverter for fuel-cell applications is presented. Such an inverter can lead to savings in volume and weight due to high-frequency operation. Also, we present a guideline to determine the optimal size of the input filter. It is also illustrated that, for such a topology, an optimal choice of transformer leakage inductance is necessary to...
This paper proposes a new recovery circuit for the capacitive load. Connecting the one side of windings to the load together, the resonant current is shared in both windings, hence the conduction loss is reduced. Simple circuit structure with transformer achieves the reduced the number of devices. Furthermore, the current-balance transformer enables ZVS operation of the switching device. To confirm...
The combination of non-linear control and linear control proposed in [1] has a very fast transient response (voltage step from 1 V to 1.5 V in 2 mus). In order to achieve this fast transient response the non-linear scheme is based on measuring the current of the output capacitor of a Buck converter. The design of this current sensor is complex due to parasitic effects such as component tolerances...
This paper mentions the input current ripple reduction method of the Pulse-link DC-AC Converter for Fuel Cells. The conventional DC-AC converter for fuel cells is interpolated large capacitor between boost converter stage and PWM inverter stage. That capacitor disturbs the size reduction of this unit. To overcome this problem, authors have proposed a novel topology called as Pulse-link DC-AC converter...
