Analyses and Discussions on Novel Bilateral Chopper Incorporating ZVS

چکیده
Various circuit technologies have been studied and developed. One of main streams concerns a soft switching technology to mitigate switching stress, leading to the reduction in switching losses or electro-magnetic noise. On the other hand, as a characterized orthodox technology, the existing chopper circuit is used for the electric vehicles, etc. Such technologies have a tendency to go out of vogue as power supplies for such vehicles. However, as a boost chopper for the battery charger for an electric vehicle, those technologies become a main stream, where a bilateral function is required. With the foregoing in mind, the authors have devised and analyzed the bilateral chopper using the soft-switch technology, which could be applied to a battery charger for an electric vehicle or similar

Frequency & duty cycle control considerations for soft-switching buck chopper
This paper presents considerations on the switching frequency and duty cycle & operating equations of softswitching BUCK chopper. These considerations are discussed and applied to selected soft-switching families such as ZVS-QRC, ZCS-QRC, ZVS-QSW-CV, ZCS-QSWCC, ZVT-PWM and ZCT-PWM [1]. The limitations on switching frequency and duty cycle are derived in terms of: chopper input voltage (Vg), cho...
متن کاملSingle-Cycle Resonant Converters: A New Group of Quasi-Resonant Converters Suitable for High-Performance dc/dc and ac/ac Conversion Applications
A new resonant switch and a new family of zerocurrent and zero-voltage mixed-mode switching quasi-resonant converters (QRC’s) called single-cycle resonant converters (SCRC’s) are proposed to improve the performance of the conventional QRC’s. The proposed SCRC’s, which include two active switches operated with zero-current switching (ZCS) and zero-voltage switching (ZVS), respectively, show very...
متن کاملImproving seismic performance of elevated cylindrical water storage tanks using nonlinear isolators incorporating liquid–structure interaction
Pervasive construction of elevated liquid tanks as the most important sources for urban hygienic water, and their failure under earthquake, highlighs the necessity for research toward new passive control devices. Design and use of base-isolation systems for elevated liquid tanks is propounded as a novel seismic engineering technology. To date, no special examination has been discussed in relati...
متن کاملAnalytical calculation of resonant inductance for zero voltage switching in phase-shifted full-bridge converters
The phase shift full bridge (PSFB) converter allows high efficiency power conversion at high frequencies through zero voltage switching (ZVS); the parasitic drain-to-source capacitance of the MOSFET is discharged by a resonant inductance before the switch is gated resulting in near zero turn-on switching losses. Typically, an extra inductance is added to the leakage inductance of a transformer ...
متن کاملAnalysis and Simulation of ZVS Methods in Full Bridge Converters and Realization of a 3 KW Prototype
One of the difficulties with PWM switching converters is high switching loss and electromagnetic interference due to switching at non-zero voltage and current, which limits the operating frequency. In order to reduce the converter volume and weight (by increasing the frequency) and reducing switching losses, zero voltage and current switching methods are recommended. In this paper, four main ze...
