Generally converter when operated at high frequency results in losses. In this paper a single stage soft switching PFC converter analysis is done. It is developed with a new active snubber cell which provides zero-voltage transition turn ON and zero-current transition turn OFF. This type of converter circuit design does not have additional resonant components. Operating the proposed converter a...

In this paper, several energy recovery circuits (ERC) for the plasma display panel (PDP) are reviewed and classified in a manner of operation characteristics. A typical ERC using the Regenerative Transformer (RT) is introduced and compared with conventional ones. RT-ERC can achieve zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) for main full-bridge switches and zero-current-switching (ZCS) for the resonant switc...

An arc modelling is a valuable and useful tool to evaluate the switching performance of lowvoltage switching devices (LVSDs) during breaking operation before testing real products. Moreover, it helps improve interruption capability of LVSDs and optimize them. This paper focuses on the numerical simulation of the arc behavior in AC devices before zero current and prediction of the re-ignition af...

With ever-increasing concerns for the safety and convenience of the power supply, there is a fast growing interest in wireless power transfer (WPT) for industrial devices, consumer electronics, and electric vehicles (EVs). As the resonant circuit is one of the cores of both the near-field and far-field WPT systems, it is a pressing need for researchers to develop a high-efficiency high-frequenc...

This paper proposes an inductive coupled wireless power transfer (WPT) system with class-E2 dc-dc converter along with its design procedure. The proposed WPT system can achieve high power-conversion efficiency at high frequencies because it satisfies the class-E zero-voltage switching and zero-derivative-voltage switching conditions on both the inverter and the rectifier. By using the class-E i...

Spin-polarized charge currents induce magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) switching by virtue of spin-transfer torque (STT). Recently, by taking advantage of the spin-dependent thermoelectric properties of magnetic materials, novel means of generating spin currents from temperature gradients, and their associated thermal-spin torques (TSTs), have been proposed, but so far these TSTs have not been la...

In this thesis, an isolated 2.5kW fullbridge DC/DC converter has been designed and analyzed regarding its efficiency and weight. By increasing the switching frequency, the magnetic components in the converter can be made smaller, in this thesis a switching frequency of 20 kHz has been compared with a switching frequency of 100 kHz. The transformer in the converter can be winded in different way...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of DC-DC Converters for Renewable Energy System. It has been proved that DC-DC converter with transformer is suitable for Electrolyser application. Due to high input and output voltage differences, the topologies with a high frequency voltage matching transformer are analyzed. The comparative analysis is done with and without Transformer topology in or...
