Induction heating is the best method of providing fast, consistent heat for vast selection of manufacturing applications which involve bonding or changing the properties of metals or other electrically-conductive materials. Our project explains the analysis and design of a new AC–AC resonant converter applied to domestic induction heating. The project is based on the half-bridge series resonant...

The main objective of this paper, a bidirectional dc–dc converter with duel coupled inductor is proposed. In the boost mode, two capacitors are parallel charged and series discharged by the coupled inductor. Thus, high step-up voltage gain can be achieved with an appropriate duty ratio. The voltage stress on the main switch is reduced by a passive clamp circuit. Therefore, the low resistance RD...

Abstract—In this paper, a high-conversion-ratio bidirectional dc–dc converter with coupled inductor is proposed. In the boost mode, two capacitors are parallel charged and series discharged by the coupled inductor. Thus, high step-up voltage gain can be achieved with an appropriate duty ratio. The voltage stress on the main switch is reduced by a passive clamp circuit. Therefore, the low resist...

This paper presents a new soft switching flyback-forward PWM converter. The proposed circuit employs an auxiliary circuit to achieve soft switching condition for switches and also absorbs the voltage spikes caused by the leakage inductance of transformers in the converter. In the proposed converter main switch operates at ZVS and the auxiliary switch operates at ZCS. The proposed converter has ...

The main emphasis in developing DOS has been on achieving low crosstalk (CT). CT in the order of -30 dB is acceptable in conventional DOS and below that value is hard to achieve. Relatively low drive voltage (or power requirements) is also necessary to optimized DOS. This paper depicts the design of Y-branched digital optical switches (DOS) with optimized on-chip area coverage, reduced driving ...

In the conventional structure of the wind turbines along with the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), the stator is directly connected to the power grid. Therefore, voltage changes in the grid result in severe transient conditions in the stator and rotor. In cases where the changes are severe, the generator will be disconnected from the grid and consequently the grid stability will be attenu...

An improved active snubber cell is proposed for ZVT-ZCT PWM DC-DC boost converter. Zero voltage transition (ZVT) turn on and zero current transition (ZCT) turn off is provided by this active snubber cell. There is no extra current or voltage stresses on the main switch. Also, zero current switching (ZCS) turn on ZCT turn off is provided for the auxiliary switch. Although there is no extra volta...
