Method and Apparatus for Controlling LCL Converters Using Asymmetric Voltage Cancellation Techniques

[0121]It will be appreciated that various of the above-disclosed and other features and functions, or alternatives thereof, may be desirably combined into many other different systems or applications. Also, various presently unforeseen or unanticipated alternatives, modifications, variations or improvements therein may be subsequently made by those skilled in the art, and are also intended to be encompassed by the following claims.

[0122]An overall design configuration of one embodiment of the apparatus, which has the parameter values shown in FIG. 36, is illustrated in FIG. 37. FIG. 38 is a schematic of the gate drivers. FIG. 39 illustrates a current path through the disclosed system.

[0123]FIG. 40 shows a high level block diagram of one embodiment of the system. The dotted blue line denotes isolation, as the NanoBoard 3000 controller communicates with the rest of the circuit via opto-isolators. FIG. 41 shows a resonant tank of the LCL converter.
