Smooth Power Direction Transition of a Bidirectional LLC Resonant Converter for DC Transformer Applications

Drazen Dujic, Jakub Kucka

The bidirectional LLC resonant converter operated at fixed switching frequency is a preferable candidate for a true dc transformer that does not actively control the power flow. This is due to its naturally stiff voltage ratio regardless of the imposed loa ...
