A generalized quantum resonant converter using a new quantum resonant module

Abstract

For the generalization of quantum resonant converters, new quantum resonant modules, which are a quantum series resonant module (QSRM) and a quantum parallel resonant module (QPRM), are proposed. The QSRM and QPRM are modeled as an equivalent inductor and an equivalent capacitor, respectively. The models of the proposed modules are useful in deriving the practical family of quantum resonant converters corresponding to the conventional PWM converters. The AC/AC quantum resonant converters are investigated as useful converters. The concept of modules and the validity of the modeling are confirmed by the experiment.
