This paper demonstrates a high-efficiency modular multilevel resonant DC-DC converter (MMRC) with zero-voltage switching (ZVS) capability. In order to minimize the conduction loss in the converter, optimizing the root-mean-square (RMS) current flowing through switching devices is considered an effective approach. The analysis of circuit configuration and operating principle show that the RMS value of the current flowing through switching devices is closely related to the factors such as the resonant tank parameters, switching frequency, converter output voltage and current, etc. A quantitative analysis that considers all these factors has been performed to evaluate the RMS current of all the components in the circuit. When the circuit parameters are carefully designed, the switch current waveform can be close to the square waveform, which has a low RMS value and results in low conduction loss. And a design example based on the theoretical analysis is presented to show the design procedures of the presented converter. A 600 W 48 V-to-12 V prototype is built with the parameters obtained from the design example section. Simulation and experiments have been performed to verify the high-efficiency feature of the designed converter. The measured converter peak efficiency reaches 99.55% when it operates at 200 kHz. And its power density can be as high as 795 W/in 3 .more » « less

null (Ed.)A new high-voltage-gain non-isolated dc-dc topology for applications in renewable energies is proposed. A coupled inductor with three windings is used to increase the proposed topology voltage gain. In addition to increasing the voltage gain, the proposed topology also has other prominent features including continuous input current and zero dc magnetizing inductance current, which reduces the losses and size of coupled inductor core. Furthermore, the continuous input current guarantees a low-volume input filter, which is essential for renewable energy applications. The leakage inductor stored energy is recycled via the diode and capacitor and transferred to the converter output for increasing the efficiency and reducing voltage stresses on the converter components.more » « less

We develop a small and lightweight high-voltage high-gain power converter for applications where weight and size are premium. By driving a Dickson and Cockcroft-Walton voltage multiplier with a megahertz-frequency class-E inverter, we implement two converters, one that achieves 40 V-to-2 kV conversion with 16 cm3 box volume and the other that achieves 3.7 V-to-2.9 kV conversion with 0.2 cm3 box volume and 0.49 g weight. Presented converters achieve comparable or better power density and specific power to those of commercial high-voltage power supplies.more » « less
