Abstract:
T-type primary bridge-based resonant converters employed in unfolding-based single-stage ac–dc conversion systems commonly adopt a leading-edge aligned modulation strategy, as it facilitates zero-voltage switching (ZVS) throughout the grid cycle. However, the application of this modulation strategy can result in partial ZVS of the common-source mosfets within the T-type bridge. In this letter, we investigate the underlying reasoning of such partial ZVS, quantify the severity of the problem, and propose a mitigation solution. Specifically, an optimized leading-edge aligned modulation strategy is introduced, incorporating an intentional staggered time delay for the turn-off of the common-source mosfets during the leading edge. The proposed modulation strategy is validated through hardware testing on a 20-kW unfolding-based ac–dc conversion system.
