摘要

This paper presents a novel high voltage conversion ratio (HVCR) bidirectional CLTC resonant dc-dc converter. Based on inductor-inductor-capacitor (LLC), series resonant converter, and capacitor-inductor-inductor-capacitor (CLLC), the novel CLTC structure is proposed. With the use of auxiliary transformer and extra resonant capacitor, a CLTC resonant dc-dc converter can achieve zero voltage switching in all load ranges. Also, CLTC has a good gain characteristic with high power load. In this study, a review of the statuses for the isolated HVCR bidirectional converters is made. The operating principle of a bidirectional power flow in two directions is analyzed in details. In addition, by changing ac output resistance, a modified fundamental harmonic analysis (FHA) method makes the calculated gain curve more accurately than traditional FHA. Also, voltage and current stresses of power switches and resonant capacitors are given. A parameter optimization method is proposed to minimize the impedance angle of CLTC, which corresponds to less reactive power and turn-off current. The optimal parameters show advantages in voltage and current stresses. Moreover, power losses are analyzed in this study, showing advantage of CLTC in efficiency. At last, the experimental results based on a 5-kW prototype converter are presented to validate the theoretical analyses.
