Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of fields such as renewable energy generation and energy storage systems, data centre power supplies, electric vehicles and smart grids, the demand for advanced power electronic converters continues to grow significantly. The core technology requires high reliability, high stability, and excellent dynamic response control strategies and system design. Meanwhile, the industry pursues solutions with high conversion efficiency, high power density, and low cost to meet the needs of compact and lightweight applications. In addition, related cutting-edge research has also opened up new avenues for the development of power electronic systems, such as magnetic materials, magnetic integration technologies, SiC and GaN device packaging, driver technologies, fault diagnosis, and energy management.

Based on the above background, this Special Issue aims to contribute to the improvement of power electronic converters and systems through control strategies, converter topologies, power devices and design schemes. The relevant research content may include, but is not limited to, the following topics:

  • Advanced power electronic converter topologies;
  • Advanced power electronic modelling methods and control strategies;
  • Soft-switching technology;
  • Packaging and driving of power semiconductor devices;
  • Power electronics fault diagnosis;
  • Energy management.

This paper proposes a fixed frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) for a dual active half-bridge resonant converter. The wide voltage range can be achieved without adding any additional components, and the voltage gain characteristic is independent of the load. Meanwhile, all switches can achieve full range zero voltage switching (ZVS). The driving logic is unified between the primary and secondary sides, allowing for the implementation of both boost and buck modes. Hence, the control logic is simple. In addition, the multiple-order harmonic analysis of the resonant tank is proposed without complex time-domain calculations. Hence, the expression of voltage gain, current characteristics, and soft switching conditions can be conveniently analyzed. Finally, a 500 W experimental prototype was built. The experimental results prove the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed solution. Full article
