Abstract

A DC converter with the benefits of reverse power capability, less switching loss and wide voltage operation is presented and implemented for wide input voltage applications such as fuel cell energy, photovoltaic (PV) system and DC wind power. Two full bridge resonant circuits are used in the presented converter to achieve bidirectional power flow capability and reduce switching losses on active devices. To overcome the wide input DC voltage variation problem for fuel cell energy and PV solar panel, the topology morphing between the half bridge circuit and full bridge circuit is adopted on the primary side to obtain low (or high) voltage gain under a high (or low) input voltage condition. Therefore, the stable DC voltage is controlled at the load side by using the variable switching frequency modulation. The studied hybrid CLLC converter is tested by a 1 kW prototype and the performance is verified and confirmed by experiments.
