Abstract

A soft-switched series-resonant DC/AC inverter without auxiliary switches is presented. The inverter is configured by a full-bridge series-resonant inversion (FB-SRI) without cycloconversion and auxiliary switches. The inverter is a series resonator with four main switches to configure adaptively the output current suitable for impedance load. The output sinusoidal voltage is synthesized by a series of equal-amplitude quasi-sinusoidal pulses (QSPs) and the corresponding current is formed by unequal QSPs and adaptively phase-shifts to the impedance load. The nonlinear control strategy is designed against the input DC perturbation and achieves good dynamic regulation. The presented FB-SRI is operated by frequency modulation with a constant-on time control. Waveform syntheses for the output sinusoidal voltage and its current are clearly derived. A typical design example of a 500 W FB-SRI inverter is examined to assess the system performance. The power efficiency is over 90% when the inverter output is above 200W. The total harmonic distortions (THDs) for various impedance loads are all within 6%.
