Power Consumption Analysis in Resonant Converter

Abstract

Resonant converter equipped with single switch and resonant bank is the simplest converter to generate alternating higher voltage at high frequency. This topology is suitable to convert a considerable lower voltage such as battery or photovoltaic to higher voltage in order of kilo Volt, so that it crucial to estimate the power consumption inside the resonant converter. Most of previous records revealed only the work mechanism of the resonant converter, but explicit records present their power consumption. This paper describes the power consumption for single switch resonant converters as direct to alternating current converter. The converter is combined with parallel bank converter, piezoelectric transformer and ferrite transformer. As the results of formulation the power consumption of resonant converters with three variation of bank, the efficiency of three kind of converter is obtained.
