Theoretical analysis, simulation and frequency conversion experiment are given to verify the effectiveness. And the specific goal of...
In this paper, an efficiency comparison of neutral-point-clamped (NPC) inverters and bipolar switch NPC (T-Type) inverters is studied and the result shows that the T-Type inverter is more efficient at lower switching frequencies. Nevertheless, its efficiency suffers when the switching frequency increases due to high switching loss of the equipped high voltage power switches. In order to reduce switching...
LLC resonant converter is an attractive topology to achieve high power density with high efficiency. However, the high switching frequency and circulating current result the poor efficiency of a LLC resonant converter under light load condition. To improve efficiency further, a modified burst-mode control is implemented in the proposed controller. The switching frequency decreases gradually during...
The interleaving technique is necessary for multiphase LLC resonant converters in high output current high power level applications. But the conventional frequency-controlled LLC converters will lose current sharing if all the phases are operating at the same switching frequency.

The switching element is a recently introduced normally-on SiC JFET and a SiC diode is used. The SiC JFET has been evaluated on an optimized double pulse test circuit...
Leakage current suppression for a transformerless zero voltage switching (ZVS) full-bridge inverter is investigated. The leakage current model and the common mode voltage of the ZVS full-bridge inverter are analyzed. The leakage current flowing through the parasitic capacitor between PV panels and the ground is reduced by a common mode inductor and the bypass capacitors. The theoretical analysis of...

The Aalborg Inverter is a new type of high efficient DC/AC grid-tied inverter, where the input DC voltage can vary in a wide range. Compared with the LCL-filter, the LLCL-filter can save the total inductance for the conventional voltage source inverter. In this paper, an LLCL-filter based Aalborg Inverter is proposed and its character is illustrated through the small signal analysis in both “Buck”...

The proposed method controls the reactive current using the fundamental wave model of the primary and secondary voltages in the dual active bridge DC-DC converter. However, the total power factor reduced by the harmonic component of the output voltage of the each inverter...
This paper presents a simple design procedure for LC filters used in wide band gap device based adjustable speed drives. Wide band gap devices offer fast turn-on and turn-off times, thus producing high dV/dt into the motor terminals. The high dV/dt can be harmful for the motor windings and bearings and must therefore be reduced. This may be accomplished by a sine LC filter with DC link feedback, which...
