Abstract:
This paper presents the comparison of resonant and passive lossless snubber circuits implementation for DC-DC boost converter to achieve soft-switching condition. By applying high switching frequency, the volume reduction of passive component can be achieved. However, the required of high switching frequency cause the switching loss during turn-ON and turn-OFF condition. In order to reduce the switching loss, soft-switching technique is required in order to reduce or eliminate the losses at switching devices. There are various of soft-switching techniques can be considered, either to reduce the switching loss during turn-ON only, or turn-OFF only, or both. This paper discusses comparative analyses of resonant and passive lossless snubber circuits which applied in the DC-DC boost converter structure. Based on the simulation results, the switching loss is approximately eliminated by applying soft-switching technique compared to the hard-switching technique implementation. The results show that the efficiency of resonant circuit and passive lossless snubber circuit are 82.99% and 99.24%, respectively. Therefore, by applying passive lossless snubber circuit in the DC-DC boost converter, the efficiency of the converter is greatly increased. Due to the existing of an additional capacitor in soft-switching circuit, it realizes lossless operation of DC-DC boost converter.

Abstract:
This paper presents parameters analysis of 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter with hard-switching and soft-switching implementation. Principally, by considering the selected circuit structure of the 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter and appropriate pulse width modulation (PWM) switching strategy, the overall converter volume able to be reduced. Specifically, phase-shifted of 120° of each switching signal is applied in the 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter in order to increase the inductor current ripple frequency, thus the charging and discharging times of the inductor is reduced. Besides, volume of converters is greatly reduced if very high switching frequency is considered. However, it causes increasing of semiconductor losses and consequently the converter efficiency is affected. The results show that the efficiency of 2-level conventional boost converter and 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter are 98.59% and 97.67%, respectively in hard-switching technique, and 99.31% and 98.15%, respectively in soft-switching technique. Therefore, by applying soft-switching technique, switching loss of the semiconductor devices is greatly minimized although high switching frequency is applied. In this study, passive lossless snubber circuit is selected for the soft-switching implementation in the 4-level capacitor-clamped boost converter. Based on the simulation results, the switching loss is approximately eliminated by applying soft-switching technique compared to the hard-switching technique implementation.

Abstract:
—This The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) DC-to-AC inverter has been widely used in many applications due to its circuit simplicity and rugged control scheme. It is however driven by a hard-switching pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter, which has low switching frequency, high switching loss, high electro-magnetic interference (EMI), high acoustic noise and low efficiency, etc. To solve these problems of the hard-switching inverter, many soft-switching inverters have been designed in the past. Unfortunately, high device voltage stress, large dc link voltage ripples, complex control scheme and so on are noticed in the existing soft-switching inverters. This proposed work overcomes the above problems with simple circuit topology and all switches work in zero-voltage switching condition. Comparative analysis between conventional open loop, PI and fuzzy logic based soft switching inverter is also presented and discussed.

Abstract:
A soft-switching hybrid DC-DC converter with a 2-phase switched capacitor is proposed for the implementation of a fully-integrated voltage regulator in a 65 nm standard CMOS process. The soft-switching operation is implemented to minimize power loss due to the parasitic capacitance of the flying capacitor. The 2-phase switched capacitor topology keeps the same resonance value for every soft-switching operation, resulting in minimizing the voltage imbalance of the flying capacitor. The proposed adaptive timing generator digitally calibrates the turn-on delay of switches to achieve a complete soft-switching operation. The simulation results show that the proposed soft-switching hybrid DC-DC converter with a 2-phase 2:1 switched capacitor improves the efficiency by 5.1% and achieves 79.5% peak efficiency at a maximum load current of 250 mA.

Abstract:
DC-DC converters are widely used in many applications such as power supplies, PV system, renewable energy systems and industrial applications. One of the main problems in dc-dc converters is the switching loss which affects efficiency and also the power density of the converter. To alleviate the switching loss problem this paper proposes novel soft switching PWM isolated dc-dc converters topology. The proposed full bridge dc-dc converter with active auxiliary circuit is designed and tested with full-bridge rectifier diode. The proposed converter is designed and evaluated in term of soft switching. In the proposed topology, the soft switching operations are achieved by charging and discharging process of the capacitor and additional switches. In the proposed topology, all the power switches operate under soft-switching conditions. Therefore, the overall switching loss of the power switches is greatly reduced. The output voltage of the converter is varied by PWM control. The effectiveness of the new converter topology is evaluated by experimental results of a laboratory scale down prototype. The obtained experimental results are found agreed with theoretical and soft switching is achieved.

This paper presents a novel soft-switching boost DC-DC converter, which uses an edge-resonant switch capacitor based on the pulse width modulation PWM technique. These converters have high gain voltage due to coupled inductors, which work as a transformer, while the boost converter works as a resonant inductor. Upon turning on, the studied soft switching circuit works at zero-current soft switching (ZCS), and upon turning off, it works at zero-voltage soft switching (ZVS) while using active semiconductor switches. High efficiency and low losses are obtained while using soft switching and auxiliary edge resonance to get a high step-up voltage ratio. A prototype model is implemented in the Power Electronics Laboratory, Assiut University, Egypt. Seventy-two-panel PV modules of 250 W each were used to simulate and execute the setup to examine the proposed boost converter.

Abstract:
The soft-switching technique has the potential to significantly enhance the performance of the power converter. This is primarily because it allows for an increase in the switching frequency, which ultimately leads to improved modulation quality. This raises extra concerns, particularly in high-power applications, because in a standard hard-switching converter structure, components can often not function at frequencies higher than a few hundred hertz. This paper presents a high-efficiency soft switching CUK converter.When the main and auxiliary switches are turned on and off at zero voltage, the proposed converter yields zero voltage and zero current. The suggested method is ideal for a DC-DC converter based on IGBTs or MOSFETs. The recommended systems are described using theoretical analysis, the results of computer simulations, and experimental data derived from a prototype. The design parameters of the inductance and capacitor circuit for edge-resonant soft switching were obtained using the output power and the switching duty ratio. In the end, soft-switching is better than hard-switching in terms of efficiency, particularly when operating under full load.

Abstract:
By using bi-directional inductive power transfer (IPT) systems as battery chargers for electric vehicles (EVs), battery charging operations become convenient and safe. However, IPT systems have problems such as occurrences of much electromagnetic noise and power loss because the converters of IPT systems are driven in high frequency by tens of kHz. To solve these problems, there is a case where the soft-switching technique needs to be applied to the converters of IPT systems. However, in soft-switching operation, the power factor of the resonant circuit becomes lower, resulting in a lower resonant circuit efficiency. In previous works, when the soft-switching technique was applied to the converters, the resonant circuit had not always been able to be operated with high efficiency because the influence caused by soft-switching operation had not been considered. For this reason, there was a case where the efficiency of the overall system with soft-switching operation became lower than the efficiency in hard-switching operation. Therefore, in this paper, the influence on the efficiency of the resonant circuit caused by the soft-switching operation is clarified by the theoretical analysis and experiments; then, the guideline for improving the efficiency of IPT systems is shown. As a result, in the experiments, it could be understood that the efficiency of the overall system with soft-switching operation becomes higher than the efficiency in hard-switching operation when the operating point of the resonant circuit was close to the requirement guideline, which is shown by using the primary-side voltage and the secondary-side voltage of the resonant circuit. Therefore, it is suggested that the efficiency of IPT systems could be improved by properly regulating the primary-side direct current (DC) voltage.

This paper proposed a novel single-phase soft-switching unipolar PWM rectifier (SSUPR) using a simple auxiliary resonant unit. All main switches of high-frequency arm operate at zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) turn-on, while the auxiliary switches operate at zero-current-switching (ZCS) turn-off. All main switches of low-frequency arm operate at 60 Hz to greatly reduce switching losses. Moreover, a soft-switching unipolar PWM strategy is used for the proposed soft-switching rectifier. This strategy results in a better input current waveform than for the bipolar PWM strategy. Furthermore, the proposed rectifier achieves a near unity power factor, a sinusoidal input current and a bidirectional power flow capability.

Abstract:
The LLC-type resonant dual-active-bridge (LLC-DAB) DC-DC converter with a high voltage gain, high power density, and low backflow power has attracted increasing attention in recent years. However, its soft-switching and backflow power problems are still not solved, so the improvements to these problems are studied in this paper. Based on the dual phase shift (DPS) modulation method, the operating characteristics are analyzed, and a soft-switching and no backflow power modulation curve is established based on the voltage-current time-domain characteristics. On this basis, a soft-switching and no backflow power optimized control method based on DPS modulation is proposed to achieve soft-switching operation and eliminate backflow power. Due to the complex time-domain characteristics of the resonant tank voltage and current, the relationship between the phase shift ratios is fitted and optimized with this method based on the soft-switching and no backflow power characteristic curve, and the optimized results of the phase shift ratio under different operating conditions are obtained. The simulation results indicate that the soft-switching operation of the LLC-DAB converter can be achieved with the optimized control method proposed in this paper, and the backflow power is effectively eliminated.

A method for determining the optimal values of the soft switching boost converter design parameters has been proposed, by determining the ideal values for the inductor, capacitor, and duty cycle of the boost converter with soft switching, this method enables the key matching of the PV system with the DC/DC converter configuration. In addition to presenting an analysis of several MPPT methodologies, the entire design of the PV converter system is also included. This study compares the perturb-and-observe (P&amp;O) method and the incremental conductance (IC) method for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in the MATLAB/Simulink application. The PV systems with both MPPT algorithms have been simulated beginning with an implemented model of the photovoltaic (PV) array together with the soft switching boost converter and its MPPT control. The simulation results based on irradiance and temperature are then shown. In the end, soft-switching is more efficient than hard-switching, especially when operating at full load.</span>

Abstract:
<span lang="EN-US">This research provides a new control technique for mitigating conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) in a buck converter designed for solar applications. Indeed, hard-switching direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converters, commonly used in industrial applications, pose a significant risk to the surrounding environment regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Usually, the fast-switching phase induces abrupt changes in current and voltage, which adds to substantial electromagnetic interference in both conducted and radiated modes and excessive auditory noise. An architecture based on the duality of soft-switching topology and fuzzy logic control technology is developed to address these issues. On the one hand, resonant circuit topologies are used to induce switches to achieve soft switching conditions, which subsequently lessen the effects of EMI. On the other hand, the adoption of fuzzy logic control technology is interesting since it can reduce electrical stresses during switching. Furthermore, the simulation results show that zero current switching (ZCS) soft-switching closed-loop fuzzy logic converters outperform typical open-loop converters and soft-switching closed-loop converters with proportional integral (PI) control in terms of EMC requirements.</span>

Abstract:
This article delves into the growing demand for efficient power conversion technologies accompanying the rise in electric vehicle (EV) adoption. Boost converters, essential for increasing the battery pack voltage to propel EV motors, pose a challenge due to the electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by the high switching frequency of power devices. To address this issue, practitioners employ zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and zero-current switching (ZCS) techniques. In this comparative study, we systematically evaluate the effectiveness of these soft switching techniques in reducing conducted EMI in boost converters designed for EV applications. The results illuminate the potential of both ZVS and ZCS in significantly mitigating EMI emissions when compared to conventional hard-switching methods. Notably, ZVS soft switching emerges as more efficient and effective, particularly under higher loads, while ZCS soft switching excels in reducing EMI at lighter loads. In conclusion, the study asserts that ZVS soft switching presents a more promising solution for curtailing conducted EMI in boost converters for EV applications, particularly in high-load scenarios. However, it underscores the importance of considering specific operational conditions when deciding between the two techniques.

Abstract:
The goal of the paper is the design of soft sensors for single input single output (SISO) nonlinear processes. This goal is of essential importance for process monitoring, fault detection and fault isolation. The observer-based technique, being a fruitful direction in soft sensor design, is followed to develop soft sensors for nonlinear processes with known dynamics and unknown physical parameters. A new and general approach, based on the identified I/O linear approximant system descriptions, around prespecified operating points, and a bank of switching linear observers, will be developed. The system property of the I/O reconstructability of the state space linear approximant of a nonlinear model is presented. The design of each observer is based on the I/O measurements and structural characteristics of the nonlinear process. Observer-oriented target areas are introduced, and the respective dense web principle is formulated. The design is completed by the design of a data-driven rule-based system, providing stepwise switching among the observers of the bank. The number of observers of the bank is equal to the number of the linear approximants of the nonlinear process model and is equal to the number of the respective target operating areas. The target operating areas are required to satisfy the dense web principle. The information provided by the soft sensor is the estimation of the non-measured variables of the process. The information used by the soft sensor is the identified I/O approximants of the process as well as the real time values of the measurement variables. The efficiency of the design scheme is illustrated through symbolic and numerical simulation results for a chemostat. The nonlinear model of the chemostat is initially approximated by a set of ten linear approximants. After, the I/O approximants are identified, the respective observers are designed and the target operating areas are determined, where several cases of the satisfaction of the dense web principle are investigated. The soft sensor is composed in terms of the designed observers. Simulation results illustrate the satisfactory performance of the designed soft sensor.

Abstract:
Abstract Return power and soft switching are important performance indicators for dual active bridge DC-DC converters (DAB). Aiming at the problem that the DAB converter has a large return power under the traditional control strategy, a control strategy that optimizes the return power in the full power range is proposed, and on this basis, the soft switching range of the switching device is increased. The control strategy not only ensures the minimum return power in the entire power range, but also increases the soft switching range, reduces the switching loss, and further improves the efficiency. Finally, an experimental platform is built for verification, and the experimental results verify the validity of the theoretical analysis.

Abstract:
A soft switching boost converter, with a small number of components and constant frequency control, is proposed herein by using the quasi-resonance method and the zero-voltage-transition method, realizing (1) the zero-voltage switching during the switch-on transient of the main switch, (2) the zero-current switching during the switch-off transient of the main switch, (3) the zero-current switching during the switch-on transient of the auxiliary switch, and (4) the zero-current switching during the switch-off transient of the auxiliary switch. Accordingly, the corresponding efficiency can be improved. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed structure are validated by the field programmable gate array (FPGA).

Abstract:
Marine electromagnetic transmitter transmits electromagnetic waves with large power frequency conversion to the seabed to obtain the submarine structure and mineral resources. However, the current transmitter presents several problems, such as low efficiency, serious heat, and poor adaptability to the load. Soft-switching controlled-source circuit is used to reduce circuit losses. The mathematical model of controlled-source circuit should be established to realize a closed-loop control for increasing the output transient performance of electromagnetic waves. Given that the soft-switching controlled-source circuit has more status and that direct modeling is difficult, small-signal model of soft-switching controlled-source circuit is established based on that of hard-switching controlled-source circuit by analyzing the effect of output filter inductor current transformer leakage inductance and input voltage soft-switching controlled circuit on change in the duty cycle. Finally, experiments verify the accuracy and validity of the model.

Abstract:
For renewable power production systems to use less energy overall, power converters with improved efficiency over a wider load range are crucial. We introduce an unique dual-transformer DC-DC converter with many resonant components. With the right choice of resonance parameters, the converter can achieve a broad DC voltage gain range thanks to several resonance features. More resonance frequencies are included in the proposed converter as well, which will allow the load to receive more of the tertiary active power. Diodes achieve soft-switching or quasi-soft-switching during both the on and off periods, and all power switches are capable of on-soft switching. The proposed and analysis of variable frequency modulation (VFM) are achieved. By providing soft switching throughout the whole load range, the suggested modulation approach can lower switching losses. Additionally, the center-tapped bridge implementation of the synchronous rectifier further reduces conduction losses while the proposed modulation technique ensures soft switching of all devices. We installed a 500W prototype in the laboratory to confirm the theoretical analysis. According to the findings of the experiments, the suggested converter can maintain a relatively high efficiency (95%) throughout a wide load range. Starting with 300W, the highest efficiency is 95.4%.

Abstract:
According to the characteristics of grinding process and accuracy requirements of technical indicators, a hybrid multiple soft-sensor modeling method of grinding granularity is proposed based on cuckoo searching (CS) algorithm and hysteresis switching (HS) strategy. Firstly, a mechanism soft-sensor model of grinding granularity is deduced based on the technique characteristics and a lot of experimental data of grinding process. Meanwhile, the BP neural network soft-sensor model and wavelet neural network (WNN) soft-sensor model are set up. Then, the hybrid multiple soft-sensor model based on the hysteresis switching strategy is realized. That is to say, the optimum model is selected as the current predictive model according to the switching performance index at each sampling instant. Finally the cuckoo searching algorithm is adopted to optimize the performance parameters of hysteresis switching strategy. Simulation results show that the proposed model has better generalization results and prediction precision, which can satisfy the real-time control requirements of grinding classification process.

Abstract:
This paper presents the relationship of switching frequency towards passive components volume of DC-DC boost converter. Principally, the inductor current ripple and capacitor voltage ripple must be considered in order to design the inductor and capacitor, respectively. By increasing the switching frequency, smaller size and volume of passive component can be designed. As the consequences, the switching loss increases during switching transition at turn-ON and turn-OFF conditions. This paper used soft-switching technique to reduce the switching loss at turn-ON condition. The soft-switching technique is realized by adding resonant circuit in DC-DC boost converter. The effectiveness of resonant circuit will be analysed, thus, the efficiency of the converter can be improved. The range of switching frequency considered in the experimental are 50 kHz to 500 kHz. A 100 W prototype has been developed and tested in order to verify the principle. The switching loss experimentally confirm reduced by implementing soft-switching technique with efficiency converter improved from 96.36% to 97.12% when 500 kHz of switching frequency is considered. The passive components volume reduction is achieved when high switching frequency is used where the total volume of passive component when 50 kHz and 500 kHz are 0.083 dm3 and 0.010 dm3, respectively.
