Abstract

International audience; In this paper, an improved bidirectional resonant converter for wide battery voltage applications is proposed. The topology has a symmetrical resonant circuit which guarantees an identical behaviour for both energy transfer directions. The proposed converter [...]

Abstract

This paper presents a new soft switching boost converter with a passive snubber cell without additional active switches for battery charging systems. The proposed snubber finds its application in the front-end ac-dc converter of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) battery chargers. [...]
