Simulation of Half Bridge Series Resonant PFC DC to DC converter

Abstract

This paper presents the simulation of Half Bridge Series Resonant Power Factor Correction (PFC) DC - DC converter with high frequency transformer isolation using Matlab Simulink. Resonant converters have no switching loss and are more suitable for high frequency operations. The switches in resonant converters turn on and off under zero current and/or zero voltage and there is no switching loss.This converter uses a gating scheme suitable for integrating buck converter and PWM DC to DC converter using a single control. A model for DC - DC Half bridge Series Resonant PFC converter has been developed and the MATLAB simulation results for the converter are presented.
