摘要
This paper proposes a transformerless dc-dc converter, which features a large voltage ratio, for medium-voltage dc (MVDC) applications. The proposed converter combines a boost converter with a series-parallel resonant converter which enables soft switching of the power switches and diodes. Further, the power switches and diodes of the proposed converter experience lower voltage stresses compared to the other topologies. The proposed converter is modular and, therefore, permits series and/or parallel connection of multiple units for the desired voltage and/or power ratings. This paper discusses the principles of operation, analysis, and design of the proposed converter. Simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed converter.
