Abstract

An AC/DC converter can include an alternating current (AC) source configured to output AC, one or more AC lines electrically connected to the AC source to conduct the AC, a conversion circuit operatively electrically connected to the one or more AC lines to receive AC, one or more filter inductors electrically connected to at least one of the one or more AC lines, and an inductance control system operatively connected to the one or more filter inductors to modify the inductance of the one or more filter inductors. A DC/DC converter can include a direct current (DC) source configured to output DC, one or more DC lines electrically connected to the DC source to conduct the DC, a non-resonant DC/DC conversion circuit operatively electrically connected to the one or more DC lines to receive DC, one or more filter inductors electrically connected to at least one of the one or more DC lines, and an inductance control system operatively connected to the one or more filter inductors to modify the inductance of the one or more filter inductors to maintain a constant switching frequency while maintaining soft switching of the one or more switches independent of variations in the DC and/or a load connected to the non-resonant DC/DC conversion circuit. The non-resonant DC/DC conversion circuit can be configured for DC/DC conversion. The non-resonant DC/DC conversion circuit can include one or more switches configured to be controlled for DC/DC conversion.
