A multiport converter promises cost-effective, flexible and more efficient energy processing by utilizing only a single power stage. Multiport converters, a promising concept for alternative energy systems, have attracted increasing research interest recently. Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) alleviates the switching losses and improves the converter overall efficiency. Zero voltage switching can b...

the platform switching (pls) concept was introduced in the literature in 2005. the biological benefits and clinical effectiveness of the pls technique have been established by several studies. in this article different aspects of pls concept are discussed. crestal bone loss, biologic width, and stress distribution in this concept are comprehensively reviewed. in this article the relative publis...

This paper proposes an AC-DC converter with the application of active type soft switching techniques. Boost converter with active snubber is used to achieve power factor correction. Boost converter main switch uses Zero Voltage Transition switching for turn on and Zero Current Transition switching for turn off. The active snubber auxillary switch uses Zero Current Switching for both turn on and...

The paper proposes a novel interleaved AC-DC ZCS-PWM boost converter that requires the use of just single active auxiliary switch to assist in turning off main power circuit switches with ZCS. can be turned on and ZCS its allows operate without an increase peak current or voltage stress. is for much shorter time than most other converter, which at higher levels previously proposed switch. conve...

Soft switching of DC-DC converter is done here. This is obtain good efficiency and to reduce the switching losses. Zero voltage switching reduces the switching losses in the circuit. This is done by using boost converter. Soft-switching characteristic of the proposed converter reduces switching loss of active power switches and raises the conversion efficiency. A voltage step-up function and a ...

Abstract– In this paper, a detailed analysis of the zerovoltage and zero-current-switching (ZVZCS) full-bridge PWM converters is performed. The differences of the zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) operation between the conventional ZVS full-bridge PWM converters and the ZVZCS full-bridge PWM converters are analyzed in depth. Circuit parameters that affect the soft-switching conditions are examined a...

A novel zero-voltage and zero-current-switching (ZVZCS) full-bridge pulsewidth modulation converter is presented to simplify the circuits of the previously presented ZVSCS converters. A simple auxiliary circuit, which consists of one small capacitor and two small diodes, is added in the secondary to provides ZVZCS conditions to primary switches, as well as to clamp secondary rectifier voltage. ...

A new zero-voltage zero-current switching (ZVZCS) full-bridge phase-shifted PWM converter with controlled output rectifier is presented in this paper. Zero-voltage turn-on and zero-current turn-off for all power switches of the inverter is achieved for full load range from no-load to short circuit by using new secondary energy recovery clamp and modified PWM control strategy. Moreover by adding...
