Popis: Series resonant converters are widely used in applications such as transformer-isolated DC-DC conversion and induction heating. The resonant capacitor in these converters is often a difficult component since it requires high current-handling capability and tight tolerance. This paper discusses replacement of the series resonant capacitor with a bridge. The series bridge is gated to behave as a capacitive element in a fashion akin to converter-based static series compensation used in flexible AC transmission systems. The advantages of the approach, particularly for three-phase series resonant conversion or converters with multi-winding transformers, will be discussed.
