Bridgeless Triple-Mode Resonant AC–DC Converter: Dynamic Modeling and Controls.

This paper introduces the bridgeless triple-mode resonant ac–dc converter and presents its dynamic model and control technique. The proposed converter operates in triple mode: discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM), continuous-conduction mode (CCM), and missing resonance mode (MRM). It has the advantages of small number of required components, medium power capacity, and high efficiency, but it is difficult to control because DCM, CCM, and MRM have their own dynamic characteristics. To solve this control problem, the mode boundaries are first identified and, corresponding to each mode, the dynamic model is developed to design the controller. In each mode, we propose to add a repetitive controller (RC) with a phase-lead compensator to the conventional duty ratio plus feedback controller. The RC is used to suppress the deterministic periodic disturbances and the phase-lead compensator is used to compensate for the incurred phase lag. A 1-kW digitally controlled converter prototype is built and used to demonstrate the validity of the proposed modeling and control approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
