The invention discloses a
resonant converter and a method for controlling the same, and belongs to the technical field of
power electronics converters. The
resonant converter comprises two high-frequency square-wave
voltage sources (u<P1> and u<P2>), two resonant inductors (L<r1> and L<r2>), two resonant capacitors (C<r1> and C<r2>), two main inductors (L<m1> and L<m2>), two transformers (T<1> and T<2>), six diodes (D<1>, D<2>, D<3>, D<4>, D<5> and D<6>), an output
filter capacitor (C<o>) and a load (R<o>). The frequencies and the pulse widths of the two high-frequency square-wave
voltage sources are identical to one another, the frequencies of the two high-frequency square-wave
voltage sources are fixed, and output voltages can be adjusted under phase-shift control between the two high-frequency square-wave voltage sources. The
resonant converter and the method have the advantages that two resonant networks which are formed by the resonant inductors, the resonant capacitors and the main inductors constantly work at the fixed frequencies, and accordingly the resonant converter is simple in control and easy to implement;
soft switching on all switch tubes and the diodes of the converter can be implemented in full-voltage and load ranges, high-frequency and efficient power conversion can be implemented, the sizes of the inductors and the sizes of the transformers can be effectively reduced, and high-
power density effects can be realized.
