Using PSPICE a resonant dc-dc converters operating at constant frequency was simulated. The paper concentrates on the working of a half bridge topology employing ZVS techniques. The operation of converter with LC filter in the output is discussed. The design and fabrication was done on a 5V, 50W converter using MOSFET to validate the performance of the converter.

An improved single-ended push–pull (SEPP) halfbridge type zero-voltage soft-switching pulse width modulation (ZVS-PWM) DC–DC power converter is presented in this paper, which makes use of a saturable reactor-assisted lossless capacitor type zero voltage soft-switching method. The SEPP power converter with a high-frequency forward and flyback hybrid transformer link has some advantages such as l...

This paper presents an interleaved resonant converter to reduce the voltage stress of power MOSFETs and achieve high circuit efficiency. Two half-bridge converters are connected in series at high voltage side to limit MOSFETs at Vin/2 voltage stress. Flying capacitor is used between two series half-bridge converters to balance two input capacitor voltages in each switching cycle. Variable switc...

With wide spread use of sensitive nonlinear electronic devices the switching transients are capable of degrading the quality of power. Utilities often switch the shunt capacitor banks to cope up with sagging voltage levels, thereby generating transients, which travel into the network of end users. Capacitor switching can cause over voltage, resonance and in advert tripping of Adjustable Speed D...

This paper deals with Enhanced Phase Locked Loop Control scheme for Distributed Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) in the distribution system. The proposed control scheme based DSTATCOM eliminates current harmonics, maintains unity power factor at source, zero voltage regulation and load balancing. The Enhanced Phase Locked Loop (EPLL) Control scheme is based on Digital Signal Processing (DSP) which...

Insertion of a dc-dc converter between the automobile battery and electrical loads is proposed. This would allow gradual conversion to higher battery voltage, regulation of dc distribution voltage, and multiple distribution voltage levels. Switching loss arising from parasitic inductances is a serious problem in this application. The nonlinear resonant switch can remove this source of loss, ach...

The charge-memory effect, bistability and switching between charged and neutral states of a molecular junction, as observed in recent STM experiments, is considered within a minimal polaron model. We show that in the case of strong electron-vibron interaction the rate of spontaneous quantum switching between charged and neutral states is exponentially suppressed at zero bias voltage but can be ...

This paper describes a secondary side resonant converter with particular suitability to step up and high power applications. A description of the basic circuit is followed by a detailed description and some important developments building upon the basic circuit, including inversion and bi-directional configurations. Efficiency is very good (≈94%) as a result of the zero voltage switching and ze...
