LARGE-SIGNAL MODEL FOR SERIES RESONANT CONVERTERS

The modelling of a resonant converter is quite difficult due to its periodic variable framework. The variation of its states implies a global nonlinear behavior. The model proposed in this paper is obtained by using the series expansion of the set of solution of the differential equations which describes the dynamic behavior of the converter. Once the method is introduced, it is applied to an example of a series resonant converter. Furthermore we show that the result can be extended to a family of converters. Experimental results are obtained and a comparison with the model actually in use is given. Finally, this model is applied to a stability analysis of this kind of converter.
