Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This paper presents astudy of the effect parasitic capacitance full bridge class-D current source rectifier (FB-CDCSR) on a high step-up push–pull multi-resonant converter (HSPPMRC).

I consider that overall this paper, is a quite good work: the theory seems correct and the reported results are interesting, but I think that the authors should take into account some issues:

1) From the title is not clear what is the purpose of this paper: presenting the study of the effect parasitic capacitance full bridge class-D current source rectifier (FB-CDCSR) on a high step-up push–pull multi-resonant converter (HSPPMRC) or proposing an innovative design.

2) The Authors should better show how this work could advance the state of the art.

3) Figures from 8 are not correctly numbered/referenced.

4)  A deep linguistic review of the manuscript should be carried out by a native English-speaking person.

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments

The topic covered in this paper is important in terms of improving the operation of power inverters. It is important that all the parameters that influence the operation of the inverters are taken into account in the design of this equipment. Through the results presented in the paper, the authors justify the fact that it is necessary not to neglect in the design of the inverters the parasitic capacities that intervene in their operation. Neglecting these capacities can lead to unacceptable errors in sizing inverters.

 

1.In fig. 3 the signals vgs1, vgs2, vD1, vD2, vD3, vD4, iD1, iD2, iD3, iD4, ip1, ip2  do not intervene in fig. 2. Why?

2.Fig.4 refers to the mode M1 (d) and M2 (c) which are not in the figure.

 

3.In relation 2 and 6 the sign = is missing.

4.In rel. 4, 8, 10, 12 is the left term missing ?

5.Who is the CD in re. 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17?

6.The loss of active power in the ferromagnetic core of the transformer is neglected. Why?

7.In relation 23 what is cos-1?

8.In relation 30, 103 must be replaced by 10-3.
