Popis: This paper presents a phase-shifted PWM-controlled DC to DC power converter with a synchronous double rectifier. The power switches can be directed to achieve the zero-voltage switching condition using the technology of the full-bridge power converter and increase the efficiency of the converter on the secondary side of the transformer. A current doubling rectifier with low current ripple and synchronized rectifier circuits are also adopted. The secondary side of the high-frequency transformer uses the synchronous double rectifier. The synchronous double rectifier circuit converts AC voltage to DC voltage to enable high-current applications with two filtering inductors to reduce losses and dissipate heat, resulting in an efficient system. The proposed method can control the input DC voltage of the phase-shifted power converter at 400 V and achieves the required DC voltage of 24 V for battery charging applications under the zero-voltage switching condition. The results of simulations and experiments show 86.7% efficiency at 40% load condition and 91.8% efficiency at full load condition.
