The isolated three-level DC/DC converter (ITLDC) can be used to charge electric vehicles. During the constant current charging stage, ITLDC designed realize nature zero voltage switching (ZVS). However, during is small; thus, ZVS cannot realized. This paper presents an active commutation auxiliary circuit (ACAC) for full load range ZVS. With proposed ACACs, all main switches achieve zero-voltag...

This paper proposes a high efficiency DC-DC flyback converter with a resonant full-bridge inverter to use in PV systems. The flyback converter is composed of a resonant active-clamp circuit that limits the voltage stress and provides zero voltage switching (ZVS) turn-on and turn-off of the power switches. Therefore, the switching losses of the high frequency primary switches are negligible. A r...
