Abstract
- Among the many advantages that resonant power conversion has over conventionally adopted pulse-width modulation include a low electromagnetic interference, low switching losses, small volume, and light weight of components due to a high switching frequency, high efficiency, and low reverse-recovery losses in diodes owing to a low di/dt at switching instant. This work presents a novel loaded-resonant converter for direct currennt (dc)-to-dc energy conversion applications. The proposed topology comprises a half-bridge inductor-capacitor-inductor (L-C-L) resonant inverter and a bridge rectifier. Output stage of the proposed loaded-resonant converter is filtered by a low-pass filter. A prototype dc-to-dc energy converter circuit with the novel loaded-resonant converter designed for a load is developed and tested to verify its analytical predictions. The measured energy conversion efficiency of the proposed novel loaded-resonant topology reaches up to 88.3%. Moreover, test results demonstrate a satisfactory performance of the proposed topology. Furthermore, the proposed topology is highly promising for applications of power electronic productions such as switching power supplies, battery chargers, uninterruptible power systems, renewable energy generation systems, and telecom power supplies.
