A Soft Switching Full-Bridge DC-DC Converter with Active Auxiliary Circuit

Abstract:

DC-DC converters are widely used in many applications such as power supplies, PV system, renewable energy systems and industrial applications. One of the main problems in dc-dc converters is the switching loss which affects efficiency and also the power density of the converter. To alleviate the switching loss problem this paper proposes novel soft switching PWM isolated dc-dc converters topology. The proposed full bridge dc-dc converter with active auxiliary circuit is designed and tested with full-bridge rectifier diode. The proposed converter is designed and evaluated in term of soft switching. In the proposed topology, the soft switching operations are achieved by charging and discharging process of the capacitor and additional switches. In the proposed topology, all the power switches operate under soft-switching conditions. Therefore, the overall switching loss of the power switches is greatly reduced. The output voltage of the converter is varied by PWM control. The effectiveness of the new converter topology is evaluated by experimental results of a laboratory scale down prototype. The obtained experimental results are found agreed with theoretical and soft switching is achieved.
