Development of series resonant converter models with output transformer

Abstract

The main advantages of the resonant converters are the high efficiencies, low losses and minimal stress over the power semiconductors achievable with the soft-switching capabilities. This improvement over the standard half- and full-bridge converters comes with added complexity but nevertheless offers several performance benefits. The aim of this paper is to presents methodic for the design and verification of the series isolated resonant DC-DC converters.
