Abstract


The advantages of resonant converter, includes high efficiency, minimum number of devices, ease of the control scheme, low cost and low electromagnetic interference. This converter is attractive for high-voltage and high-power applications such as electrostatic precipitation, medical diagnostic, plasma processing etc. This paper develops high efficient battery chargers with an improved series loaded resonant DC-DC converter for high-power renewable energy harvesting. Operating equations and operating theory are also developed. To demonstrate the feasibility of this solution, a high-voltage, high-power prototype is assembled and tested with positive performance and similar behavior to the predicted by the models. Experimental results are shown on this particular.

Keywords


ZVZCS, Dc-Dc Converter, Class-D Half-Bridge Series-loaded Resonant Converter, Battery Charger.
