Analysis and Implementation of Transformerless LCL Resonant Power Supply for Ozone Generation

Abstract

Abstract-This paper describes the analysis and design of an LCL resonant power supply for ozone generation. The main advantage of the proposed topology is the absence of high-voltage transformer; the high voltage gain is achievable by means of doubleresonance phenomena. Furthermore, the bandwidth is wider than the ordinary LC and its phase difference is constant over specific frequency range; as a result, an open-loop operation can be implemented. The complete analysis and design procedure of the power supply is presented. The design procedure is verified by implementing the power supply to drive a dielectric barrier discharge prototype ozone chamber. The hardware results are found to be in close agreement with simulation and thus justify the validity of the design procedures. The proposed circuit is suitable for portable ozone power supply fed by low-voltage source such as battery or photovoltaic module.Index Terms-Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), full-bridge inverter, high-voltage power supply, LCL resonant circuit, ozone generation.

Inductively coupled power transfer (ICPT) for electric vehicle charging – A review

“…In [51], a series-parallel LCL pick-up design was presented that offered uninterrupted controlled power and smooth power transitions during switching states but it reflected reactive power back onto the source [52]. Moreover, the SP topology depends upon the coupling coefficient and requires a high-value of capacitance for stronger magnetic coupling [53].…”

Single phase transformerless inverter topologies for grid-tied photovoltaic system: A review

“…Depending on the galvanic isolation between the PV module and the grid, the gridtied PV inverter can be categorized as isolated or non-isolated. The galvanic isolation between the PV module and the grid can be observed by using a line frequency transformer or a high frequency transformer that adjusts converter DC voltage [6,17,18]. Due to size, weight and price in favor of high frequency transformers, the tendency of removing the line frequency transformers is increased when designing the new converter.…”

“…In addition, the constant consumption of fossil fuels is leading to energy crisis and increasing environmental pollution problems. Therefore, the distributed energy resources, particularly PV and wind power basis [5], have achieved great response in current years to meet the world energy demand and become the important alternatives of traditional power sources [3,4,6].…”

Analysis and design of full-bridge Class-DE inverter at fixed duty cycle

“…An interesting feature of the Class DE topology is their ability to achieve both zero-voltage switching (ZV S) and zero-derivative switching (ZDS) con ditions, thereby yielding high power-conversion efficiency, especially at high switching frequencies. This makes them suitable for applications such as RF power supplies and RF power amplifiers [3], induction heating [4], on-chip converters [5], [6], wireless-power transfer systems [7], [8], [20], etc. The Class-DE inverter shares a few features of Class-E as well as Class-D inverters making them an ideal choice for high-power applications [8], [12]- [ 19].…”
