Abstract: This paper presents a comparative evaluation of Fuzzy Logic (FLC) Controller and Open loop Controller for a modified LCL Resonant Converter has been simulated and the performance is analyzed. A three element LCL Resonant converter working under load independent operation is presented in this paper. In this work, the applicability of the ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) processor LPC 2148 is to be investigated as the controller for resonant converter. The simulation study indicates the superiority of Fuzzy Logic control over the conventional control method. The evaluation version of MATLAB was used to model the LCL topology for varied loads and LCL configurations. A LCL Resonant Inverter is proposed for applications in high frequency distributed AC power systems and Resonant Converter is proposed for applications in many space and radar power supplies. The advantages of the LCL topology are low total harmonic distortion (THD) high efficiency and the ability to handle varying loads.
