This paper presents a single-phase bidirectional isolated AC-DC converter with Power Factor Correction (PFC) consisting of a half-bridge on the AC side and a full-bridge on the DC side to accomplish single-stage power conversion. The converter applies a new control scheme combining phase-shift and frequency modulation to achieve Zero-Voltage-Switching (ZVS) over the full range of the AC line voltage. Compared to the conventional boost PFC approach, the proposed converter eliminates high frequency harmonic distortions on the mains due to the inherently integrated LC input filter stage. The operating principle in AC-to-DC and DC-to-AC under ZVS conditions by means of analytical considerations are provided. Simulation results and a detailed loss model of a 3.3 kW electric vehicle battery charger to connect to the 230 Vrms / 50 Hz mains considering a battery voltage range of 280 V to 430 V validate the theoretical analysis. The converter can also be used as a submodule in a Cascaded H-Bridge Converter (CHB) for medium or high voltage applications.

“…Each and every one of these alternatives has its advantages and drawbacks as will be pointed out further. An interesting way of achieving the harmonic injection, while varying the voltage and power supplied to the lamp is to modulate the voltage applied to the lamp, i.e., a high frequency current modulated by a low frequency waveform [23], [24].…”

The modulation index control is used in this work to control the lamp power supply permitting the removal of the output transformer out of the inverterresonant filter setup. The Acoustic resonance in HPS lamps can be avoided by using a controlled PWM inverter and third harmonic injection.Experimental and simulation results are shown for the control of the inverter power subject to variation in the input voltage. Results for different DC bus voltages are also provided which attest the transformer removal and avoid the acoustic resonance with different modulation indexes. An ignitor for high-intensity discharge lamps, based on forced oscillation via an external periodic voltage square wave, supplied by a digitally controlled inverter, is also presented. The crest factor of the current can also be reduced by this approach.1
