  • Patent number: 10256738
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for controlling a high frequency dual bridge DC/DC power converter of nominal frequency (fN) and nominal power (PN), in a wide range of input voltage and with power overload capacity up to 200%, said method comprising a step of varying, in a range up to the value of ? radians, a first phase shift (?HB) between the voltage of the full bridge and the voltage of the half bridge, while—varying the operation frequency (f) simultaneously with the said first phase shift and/or—inducing a second phase shift (?FB) between the voltages of the two half bridges or branches constituting the full bridge, modifying thereby the first phase shift (?HB) between the voltage of the full bridge and the voltage of the half bridge and/or—decreasing the operation frequency (f) towards the LC resonance frequency (f0) of the circuit, so as to minimize the switch losses in the DC/DC converter during operation.

  • Patent number: 10116201
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a single phase, non-insulated, miniaturized DC/AC power inverter (1) having an output power density higher than 3000 W/dm3, wherein said first (S1_H), second (S1_L), third (S2_H) and fourth (S2_L) switches are made of wide-band semiconductors and preferably of gallium nitride or GaN semiconductors; and wherein said DC/AC power inverter (1) further comprises: a ripple-compensating active filter comprising a third half-bridge (203) having a fifth switch (S3_H) in series with a sixth switch (S3_L), said fifth switch (S3_H) being connected at one end to the positive terminal (L+) of the DC input, said sixth switch (S3_L) being connected at one end to the negative terminal (L?) of the DC input,the other end of the fifth switch (S3_H) being connected to the other end of the sixth switch (S3_L), defining a third common end, said third common end being connected to a first end of a LC filter, made of at least one inductor (L6) and one storage capacitor (C5), a second end of the LC fil
