Energies, Vol. 11, Pages 1961: A Novel High Efficiency Quasi-Resonant Converter Energies doi: 10.3390/en11081961 Authors: Tianyu Zhu Jianze Wang Yanchao Ji Yiqi Liu In this paper, a new constant-frequency quasi-resonant converter is proposed. Compared with the traditional LLC converter, the proposed converter can effectively reduce the range of the operating frequency. The output voltage is changed to adjust the reactance of the resonant cavity. The proposed converter has a better loss factor. To verify the theoretical analysis and soft-switching condition, a 250 W, 100 V output prototype was built and compared with the full-bridge LLC converter. Analysis and experimental results verify that a smaller operating frequency range and volume of the transformers, a soft-switching condition, and a higher overall efficiency are achieved with the proposed converter.
