ABSTRACT:
This paper proposes a new interleaved current-fed resonant converter with significantly
reduced high current side output filter. The proposed interleaved converter has theoretically zero
output filter capacitance, low-input current ripple, ZCS turnon and turn-off for all switches and
diodes, and zero di/dt at turn-off of diodes when operated at load independent points. A two-
stage power conversion technique is applied to the interleaved converter for high efficiency
under wide voltage range operation. A 2-Kw prototype of the proposed low-voltage dc/dc
converter for EV and HEV applications is built and tested to verify the validity of the proposed
operation.

INTRODUCTION:
The phase shift full-bridge (PSFB) converter is widely used as the dc/dc converter
because of its small RMS current and inherent zero voltage switching (ZVS) characteristic.
Disadvantages of the PSFB converter are that turn-off current of switches is large and turn-off
losses associated with the diode reverse recovery are considerable. Also, the PSFB converter
requires snubber circuits in the rectifier side to reduce the voltage spikes generated at turn-off.
In order to reduce the turn-off losses of switches and diodes resonant converters with
ZVS or zero current switching (ZCS) capabilities, such as SRC and LLC could be considered as
candidates for the LDC. The switching frequency of the resonant converter can further be
increased due to reduced turnoff losses, which results in reduced size of passive components.
In general, the resonant converter requires output capacitor for suppression of output
ripple voltage, while the PSFB converter requires output inductor for suppression of output
ripple current. The volume of the output filter inductor or capacitor is considerable in the low-
voltage high-current application. In order to reduce the volume of the output filter, interleaved
techniques can be applied to the resonant and PSFB converters.

The volume of the output filter inductor or capacitor is considerable in the low-voltage
high-current application. In order to reduce the volume of the output filter, interleaved
techniques can be applied to the resonant and PSFB converters .
However, the effect of volume reduction by means of interleaving of the conventional
resonant and PSFB converters is limited, especially in the low-voltage high-current application
such as LDC.

EXISTING SYSTEM:
The two SRC are operated at switching frequency, which is the same as the resonant
frequency and are phase shifted by π/2.The resonant tank and the load act as a voltage divider,
DC gain is always lower than 1 (maximum gain happens at the resonant frequency).The
impedance of resonant tank can be changed by varying the frequency of driving voltage

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
The proposed converter consists of an input filter inductor, four switches, a resonant tank,
a transformer, a diode rectifier, and an output filter capacitor. The output voltage of the proposed
converter is regulated by fixed duty and variable switching frequency. The proposed converter is
the current-fed converter and, therefore, has much smaller input current ripple compared to the
SRC which is the voltage-fed converter. The voltage and current ratings of switches of the
proposed converter are higher than those of the SRC. The peak value of switch voltage of the
proposed converter is affected by characteristic impedance Z and can be limited by choosing
proper value of Z. It should be noted that the ripple current of the resonant capacitor of the
proposed converter is 40% smaller than that of the SRC, which significantly reduces cost and
volume of the resonant capacitor.

ADVANTAGES:
 Theoretically zero output capacitance, resulting in significantly reduced output capacitor.
 Low input current ripple.
 ZCS turn-on and off for all switches and diodes without regard to voltage and load
variation.
 Zero di/dt at turn-off of diodes, resulting in negligible turn-off losses associated with the
diode reverse recovery

CONCLUSION:
This paper proposes a new two-stage interleaved current-fed resonant converter. The
current-fed resonant converter achieves ZCS turn-on and turn-off for all switches and diodes, and
has zero di/dt at turn-off of diodes when operated at load independent points. Interleaved
operation of the current-fed resonant converter has theoretically zero output filter capacitance,
resulting in significantly reduced volume of the output capacitor. A two-stage power conversion
technique is applied to the interleaved converter for high efficiency under wide voltage range
operation. A 2-kW prototype of the proposed converter has been built and tested to verify the
validity of the proposed operation. The maximum efficiency is 95.9% at 0.9 kWand full load
efficiency is 94.3%, respectively, when input voltage is 200 V. The proposed converter could be
a possible option for the LDC of EV and HEV.
