In an Electric Vehicle a galvanically insulated auxiliary power module of suitable power size is employed to interface the high-voltage main energy storage battery to the low voltage auxiliary loads. Such converter must be reliable, efficient and compact. Resonant converters have reached widespread application as they are characterized by high efficiency and low Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). Resonant converters are usually operated in Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) with fixed duty cycle. In case of high power applications characterized by wide output voltage regulation, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) can be beneficially adopted to extend the continuous modulation operation at low output voltage / low output power. This work analyses drawbacks and critical aspects of use of PWM along with some modulation strategies able to minimize hard switching commutations in this operating condition. After a first analytical comparison, different PWM strategies are evaluated by means of numerical simulations and experimentally assessed. A Quasi-Resonant control is proposed and assessed by means of simulation, resulting in an effective solution to hard switching commutation.
