These initial LEDs and posterior developments are widely used in very-low lighting level applications. Ternary and quaternary alloys are the bases of the present high-brightness LED's. Currently power LEDs are used in low-medium lighting applications: for instance, permanent emergency lighting systems (PELS), traffic lights, emergency exit indications, lighting in critical or strategic points, i.e. the limited lamp life in classical lamps 10.000-20.000 hours for fluorescent lamps implies short lamp-replacement times and, therefore, high maintenance costs. To overcome this situation a boost converter to supply a PELS system based in LED was developed. The topology and proposed control assure a constant current through LEDs for all the battery conditions. The long operation life (above 100.000 hours) of high efficiency LED's and a very simple electronics circuitry implies an interesting solution for this type of applications. Finally, a 30 lumens and 1 hour PELS has been built and tested.","PeriodicalId":131410,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE Industry Applications Conference, 2004. 39th IAS Annual Meeting.","volume":"159 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123021849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a novel half-bridge resonant transition converter with soft switching properties. The improvised half-bridge converter uses two additional switches and two diodes. The additional switches introduce freewheeling intervals in the primary circuit and thus enable lossless switching. In classical half-bridge converter, the transformer primary is left open during two subintervals in a period. On account of this feature, the turn-on of the switch in these converters is always hard. The new circuit topology converts these open circuit intervals into freewheeling intervals with such a modification, all trapped energy in the core is conserved to achieve ZVS during all the switching transition. The principle of operation of the proposed topology is explained. Design procedure is explained. Design procedure is validated through a prototype converter rated 300 kHz, 640 W half-bridge converter.","PeriodicalId":131410,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record of the 2004 IEEE Industry Applications Conference, 2004. 39th IAS Annual Meeting.","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115863147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
