An Improved Topology of Isolated Bidirectional Resonant DC-DC Converter Based on Wide Bandgap Transistors for Electric Vehicle Onboard Chargers by Md. Tanvir Shahed, A. B. M. Harun-Ur Rashid

“…As opposed to the conventional capacitor-inductor-inductor-inductor-capacitor (CLLLC) resonant converter, the proposed converter’s resonant circuit is composed of a capacitor-inductor-inductor-inductor (CLLL) structure, whose inductances, except the capacitor, can be fully integrated with the leakage and mutual inductances of the high-frequency transformer (HF). Therefore, this offers a smaller size, lower costs, minimal power loss, and eventually higher efficiency. …”
