To further reduce the SHC as well as improve the dynamic performance in the two-stage inverter without adding any extra circuit, this paper proposes a new inductor current
The proposed architecture is applied to an LED driver circuit, and two implementations are demonstrated: a wide input voltage range dc-dc converter and a line interfaced ac-dc converter.
The instantaneous output power of the two-stage single-phase inverter pulsates at twice the output voltage frequency, generating second-order harmonic current (SHC) in the front-end

It can be used as a front-end dc–dc converter that can boost variable low voltage from a power source [battery (home/industrial inverter/industrial UPS application), fuel-cell or solar-PV] and
Among them, the front-stage DC-DC converter is used to achieve electrical matching and electrical isolation, and the latter-stage inverter converts direct current into alternating current.
In this chapter, the second harmonic current (SHC) reduction for the two-stage dc-ac inverter with DCX-LLC resonant converter in the front-end dc-dc converter is studied.
Within two-stage inverters, front-end DC/DC converters process DC voltage matching, while downstream DC/AC inverters convert DC voltage to AC voltage to meet load
