Sivachidambaranathan.v, Subhransu Sekhar Dash . A Novel Bi-directional Series Parallel Resonant Converter for Power Factor Correction. International Journal of Computer Applications. 48, 2 ( June 2012), 24-29. DOI=10.5120/7321-0120
Resonant converters are very attractive in practice because they have high efficiency, small size, light weight, fast dynamic response, low component stresses and low noise. One of the relatively new resonant DC-DC converters is a Series-Parallel Resonant Converter (SPRC) also called an LCC converter. Under constant frequency, the filter designs are simplified and utilization of magnetic components is improved. The LCC-SPRC takes on the desirable characteristics of the pure series and the pure parallel converter, thus removing the main disadvantages. The use of soft-switching techniques alleviates switching loss problems and allows a significant increase in the converter switching frequency. In the present work Bi-directional Series Parallel Resonant Converter are designed and the simulation results are presented.
