  text: The LLC converter achieves the highest efficiency in resonant operation. Conventionally,
    the input DC-link voltage is controlled to operate the LLC converter at resonance
    for the given operating point. However, the DC-link capacitor voltage shows a
    low-frequency voltage ripple (typically the second harmonic of grid frequency)
    in cascaded converters so that the LLC has to adapt its switching frequency within
    the grid period. Conventionally, the LLC converter operates 50% of the time above
    the resonant frequency of 40 kHz and 50% below resonance. Both operating conditions
    cause additional losses. However, experimental measurements indicate that the
    below-resonance operation causes significantly higher losses than above-resonance
    operation due to much higher primary and secondary transformer currents. It is
    better to increase the DC-link voltage by 30% of the peak-to-peak low-frequency
    voltage ripple to mostly avoid below-resonance operation (i.e., from 650 V to
    680 V in this case). With the proposed control, the LLC converter operates about
    75% of time over resonance and only 25% of time below resonance. The overall efficiency
    increases from 97.66% to 97.7% for the average operating point with an 80% load
    current. This corresponds to a 2% total loss reduction. Finally, the peak resonance
    capacitor voltage decreases from 910 V to 790 V (−13%).

  text: "Although there are numerous design and control methodologies for the LLC
    resonant converter,\r\nthey often do not consider decentralized control strategies
    to operate them as isolated DC-DC converters within a\r\ncascaded H-bridge. The
    total output power of all LLC converters must be constant to supply a load such
    as a wa-\r\nter electrolyzer. However, each individual LLC converter can vary
    its output power as long as the total output\r\npower remains constant. This opens
    new possibilities in increasing the system efficiency and robustness. Usually,\r\nthe
    DC-link voltage of each module capacitor shows a 2nd harmonic voltage ripple.
    However, the total stored energy\r\nin all DC-link capacitors is constant within
    a grid period for a balanced three-phase system. By controlling each\r\nLLC converter’s
    output power locally to be proportional to the energy stored in its DC-link capacitor,
    modules with\r\na lower instantaneous DC-link voltage transfer less power to the
    load than modules with a higher DC-link voltage.\r\nAs a result, a higher efficiency,
    voltage gain and lower peak resonant capacitor voltage can be achieved with the\r\nsame
    components. The 22.2kW experimental prototype of the LLC converter reaches an
    efficiency of over 97% at\r\nresonance which is similar to the precalculated value."

  text: LLC resonant converters are typically unsuitable to be applied for wide voltage-transfer
    ratio applications. With a full-bridge inverter, however, they can be operated
    in a variety of different modulations. Most notably, by permanently turning on
    one MOSFET and turning off the other MOSFET of the same bridge leg, the LLC can
    be operated in half-bridge configuration reducing the gain by a factor of two.
    The resonant capacitor is hereby charged to an average voltage of half the input
    voltage. In this modulation, however, the switch that is permanently turned on
    is stressed by the complete resonant current while exhibiting no switching losses.
    This paper proves that the frequency-doubler modulation can better balance the
    losses among all MOSFETs and should be the preferred mode of operation favored
    over the conventional half-bridge modulation. This paper analyzes the beneficial
    loss distribution, proposes an on-the-fly morphing modulation and discusses potential
    operating strategies to further reduce the junction temperature. Furthermore,
    it is shown that this modulation can also be altered to achieve the asymmetrical
    LLC operation. Experimental measurement results show that the modulation results
    in a substantial decrease of the maximum MOSFET temperature and shows that the
    converter can be smoothly transitioned during operation from full-bridge modulation
    to the frequency-doubler half-bridge operation and back.

  text: In this paper, a full-bridge modular multilevel converter (MMC) and two half-bridge-based
    MMCs are evaluated for high-current low-voltage e.g. 100 - 400V DC-applications
    such as electrolysis, arc welding or datacenters with DC-power distribution. Usually,
    modular multilevel converters are used in high-voltage DC-applications (HVDC)
    in the multiple kV-range, but to meet the needs of a high-current demand at low
    output voltage levels, the modular converter concept requires adaptations. In
    the proposed concept, the MMC is used to step-down the three-phase medium-voltage
    of 10kV, and provide up to 1 MW to the load. Therefore, each module is extended
    by an LLC resonant converter to adapt to the specific electrolyzers DC-voltage
    range of 142 - 220V and to provide galvanic isolation. The six-arm MMC converter
    with half-bridge modules can be simplified and optimized by removing three arms,
    and thus halving the number of modules. In addition, the module voltage ripple
    and capacitor losses are decreased by 22% and 30% respectively. By rearranging
    the components of the half-bridge MMC to build a MMC consisting of grid-side full-bridge
    modules, the voltage ripple is further reduced by 78% and capacitor losses by
    64%, while ensuring identical costs and volume for all MMCs. Finally, the LLC
    resonant converter is designed for the most efficient full-bridge MMC. The LLC
    can not operate at resonance with a fixed nominal module voltage of 770V because
    the output voltage is varying between 142 - 220V. By decreasing the module voltage
    down to 600V, additional points of operation can be operated in resonance, and
    the remaining are closer to resonance. The option to decrease the module voltage
    down to 600V, increases the number of required modules per arm from 12 to 15,
    which requires to balance the losses of the LLCs and the grid-side stages.

  text: Although there are numerous design methodologies for the LLC resonant converter,
    they often do not consider the possibility of input voltage adjustment. In the
    proposed concept, a modular multi-level converter (MMC) is used to step-down the
    three-phase medium voltage of 10 kV, and provide up to 1 MW of pure DC power to
    the load consisting of electrolyzers for hydrogen generation. Therefore, each
    module is extended by an LLC resonant converter to adapt to the specific electrolyzers
    DC voltage range of 142...220 V and to provide galvanic isolation. In order to
    achieve a high efficiency for a wide range of load conditions, the input voltage
    of the LLC converter is adjusted between 600 V and 770 V while operating at resonance
    or close to resonance. The parameters of the 11kW LLC resonant converter with
    an integrated leakage inductance are systematically optimized to maximize the
    efficiency for all loads while achieving zero-voltage switching. For a fast estimation
    of eddy current losses, a new method is proposed, which uses a single FEM simulation
    to fit newly developed loss equations. The calculated average efficiency is 97.8%.
    The prototype of the LLC converter reaches a peak efficiency of over 98% at resonance
    at half load which is similar to the precalculated value.
