Abstract
This paper presents a double-output resonant converter with high-frequency isolation for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications. The proposed topology is developed by using a full-bridge resonant inverter and double-output half-bridge active rectifiers. For the control system, a phase-shifted pulse width modulation (PS-PWM) method is utilized to adjusts the power flow among the output rectifiers in a wide voltage range regulation with a central control. The theoretical analysis of the converter is explored using the system model under different load conditions with constant frequency. The proposed system is validated with experimental results using 60 V input source and generating 0 - 100 V in each output at a full power of 500 W with 96% maximum efficiency in the laboratory experimental setup.
