A New Zvs-Pwm Full-Bridge Boost Converter, Mohammadjavad Baei

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Pulse-width modulated (PWM) full-bridge boost converters are used in applications where the output voltage is considerably higher than the input voltage. Zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) is typically implemented in these converters. The objective of this thesis is to propose, analyze, design, implement, and experimentally confirm the operation of a new Zero-Voltage-Switching PWM DC-DC full-bridge boost converter that does not have any of the drawbacks that other converters of this type have, such as a complicated auxiliary circuit, increased current stresses in the main power switches and load dependent ZVS operation. In this thesis, the general operating principles of the converter are reviewed, …
