Traditional load regulation methods for a resonant converter mainly rely on frequency modulation. It is always a tradeoff between the design of the resonant network and the range of load. Especially for wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, the resonant network usually has a high quality factor. Small variation on frequency leads to huge drop in gain and efficiency. Due to this problem, many WPT systems are unregulated and they need one or two more front-end stages to regulate the dc bus voltage and perform power factor correction (PFC). In order to lower the cost and complexity of two-or three-stages structure, a single-stage solution with a silicon carbide (SiC) based Z-source resonant converter (ZSRC) was recently proposed. The Z-source network provides high reliability as being immune to shoot-through problems. Additionally, a ZSRC can boost the dc bus voltage while the traditional voltage-source inverter can only produce a lower voltage. However, the load regulation of this new topology has not been addressed. Two effective load regulation methods with constant frequency are presented for this SiC-based ZSRC specifically. Operation principle of the two load regulation methods are described in this paper. Experimental results based on a 200-W scale-down prototype with a full-bridge series resonant dc-dc converter are presented to illustrate the mechanism of these two methods.
