This paper proposes a topology based on output feedback zero-voltage-transition (ZVT) technique with coupled inductor to realize zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) for all the main switches of the full bridge inverters, and inherent zero-current-switching (ZCS) for the auxiliary switches. The advantages of the strategy include the provision to implement zero state modulation schemes such as unipolar or...
The paper presents a low-loss auxiliary circuit in a power factor correction (PFC) circuit to achieve zero voltage transition and hence improving the efficiency and operating frequency. The high dynamic energy generated in the switching node during turn-on is diverted by providing a parallel path through a coupled auxiliary inductor and a transistor placed across the main inductor. The auxiliary devices...

The scope for module level power electronics (MLPE) is immense in modern day PV industry but it lacks in assessing the reliability. This paper presents the work performed by PREDICTS (Physics of Reliability: Evaluating Design Insights for Component Technologies in Solar) team lead by Sandia National Laboratories to develop a standard reliability assessment protocol for MLPE including microinverters...
There is currently a big thrust for integrating renewable resources to the electric grid. With increasing variable generation the need for energy storage devices has escalated. Traditional storage devices have bulky 60 Hz transformer to provide the electrical isolation from the grid. But, with the advent of advanced magnetic materials, power electronic topologies with high frequency link transformers...
A new soft-switching circuit topology derived from the popular dual-active-bridge converter (DAB) topology is proposed for applications requiring only unidirectional power flow such as the dc–dc stage of a photovoltaic power converter, and battery charger for electric vehicles. The topology named as the semidual active bridge (S-DAB) is obtained by replacing the fully active (four switches) bridge...
