High-frequency Converters: Design, Control, and Applications
Description
High-frequency converters are preferred for system optimization of integrated power devices, the design of RF power IC converters, and other applications. The application of high-frequency converters with compatible magnetic materials which have minimal switching and magnetic losses is important for switching frequency.
In recent years, there has been increasing research focusing on high-frequency converters aided by power electronic control systems. High-frequency converters are becoming key components in determining the performance of complete energy systems in various applications including energy management systems, energy storage, grid integrations, renewable energy conversion, etc., For the effective operation of these applications, high power, high frequency, high-efficiency converters are mandatory. In addition, advanced design criteria and control techniques are required. Furthermore, modern power converters should reduce costs, have fast dynamic responses, and be suitable for multiple applications.
