报告题目:Design Challenges of SiC Based High-Power,  High-Frequency CLLC Resonant Converter with Wide Gain Range.

报告摘要:
Generation 3 power semiconductor devices, such as SiC, offers significant reduction of  switching losses in comparison with its counterpart IGBT for high power applications. In general, a factor of 2-3 increase in switching frequency is expected. In many DC/DC convertor applications where the gain range is relatively narrow, resonant convertors are already deemed a preferred choice. With ZVS turn-on and ZCS turn-off, resonant converters have been demonstrated with one order of magnitude increasing in switching frequency and with improved efficiency.
However, in many emerging high-power applications such as EV charging, renewable energy, and energy storage are featured with wide gain range, PWM converter with some form of soft switching are still in the mainstay. The subject of this presentation is about the propose means to overcome the challenges related to the wide gain range and means to operate beyond 100KHz , with much improved efficiency.  The control strategies are proposed as follows, “flexible link voltage” to extend the operating range while high efficiency is critical; “shorting” mode to boosting the tank energy to realize high voltage gain; and “PWM” mode to enable much reduced frequency range while operating at light load. The proposed strategies together have changed the fundamental properties while removed the limitations of the CLLC converter, such that it is best suited for high power applications while wide gain range are required.
