High-Efficiency Contactless Power Transfer System for Electric Vehicle Battery Charging Application
Cong Zheng,Jih-Sheng Lai,Rui Chen,William Eric Faraci,Zaka Ullah Zahid,Bin Gu,Lanhua Zhang,Gianpaolo Lisi,Dave Anderson +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a contactless charging system for an electric vehicle (EV) battery is proposed, which consists of three parts: 1) a high-frequency power supply from a full-bridge inverter with frequency modulation; 2) a loosely coupled transformer that utilizes series resonant capacitors for both the primary and secondary windings; and 3) a rectification output circuit that uses a fullbridge diode rectifier.

A High-Efficiency MOSFET Transformerless Inverter for Nonisolated Microinverter Applications
Baifeng Chen,Bin Gu,Lanhua Zhang,Zaka Ullah Zahid,Jih-Sheng Jason Lai,Zhiling Liao,Ruixiang Hao +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a novel MOSFET-based phase leg configuration to minimize the failure risk from body diode reverse recovery, increased conduction losses due to more devices, or low magnetics utilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
A High-Efficiency Hybrid Resonant Converter With Wide-Input Regulation for Photovoltaic Applications
TL;DR: The proposed converter is designed as a series resonant converter with nominal-input voltage and operates under two additional modes: a boost converter with low- input voltage and a buck converter with high-input Voltage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design Considerations to Reduce Gap Variation and Misalignment Effects for the Inductive Power Transfer System
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of coupling coefficient deviation to compensation network efficiency is analyzed, and design considerations to reduce gap and misalignment effects for the inductive power transfer (IPT) system are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid Transformer ZVS/ZCS DC–DC Converter With Optimized Magnetics and Improved Power Devices Utilization for Photovoltaic Module Applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a non-isolated, high boost ratio dc-dc converter with the application for photovoltaic (PV) modules is presented, which utilizes a hybrid transformer to incorporate the resonant operation mode into a traditional high-boost ratio active-clamp coupled-inductor pulse-width-modulation dc-DC converter, achieving zero-voltage switching (ZVS) turn-on of active switches and zero-current-switching turn-off of diodes.
