Abstract
Multi-port converters (MPC), used in multi-input/multi-output power electronic systems have low cost, low weight and low mass integrated control system. Besides these converters offer bidirectional and isolated ports, which are inevitable in some applications. Three-Port Half Bridge Converters (TPHBC) are the ones which have the lowest component count. But these converters suffer from a low Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) range that is lost in medium to low load powers. Low ZVS range cause low efficiency, especially in low output powers. In this paper a modified Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique is introduced to increase the ZVS range of main switches which results higher efficiency and lifetime of the converter. Verification of theoretical results is done by using simulation in the MATLAB and PSIM softwares. All above-mentioned predictions are validated with simulations.
