Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of CLLC converter, and particularly relates to a modulation method for CLLC converter to realize bidirectional symmetric power transmission. BACKGROUND

[0002] The CLLC converter is a typical resonant converter, and its main feature is to realize soft switching operation through a resonant cavity, thereby reducing switching loss and improving conversion efficiency. The CLLC converter is widely used in power electronics, especially in occasions requiring high efficiency energy conversion and bidirectional power transmission. However, the traditional CLLC converter still has certain challenges in gain characteristics, frequency modulation range and symmetry during bidirectional power transmission.

[0003] Under the requirement of bidirectional operation, the reverse operation in the existing modulation scheme is to reverse the original and secondary side drive signals, that is, the secondary side is driven with 50% duty cycle, and the primary side is synchronized rectified, which will make the reverse gain curve of the converter become the inverse of the forward gain curve. Then, the prior art scheme has the following problems:

[0004] (1) Generally, bidirectional power switching is carried out under the condition that the gain is unchanged, which will make the CLLC converter switch from the PO mode to the NP mode, and the frequency span range is large, resulting in problems such as wide comprehensive frequency modulation range and low efficiency.

[0005] (2) Worse still, the more flat gain curve under the NP mode limits the gain range of the converter. Specifically, in order to meet the required bidirectional gain range, a rectangular box is used to enclose the operating area, as shown in Figure 6 The upper limit of the gain range is limited by the NP mode, considering the symmetric switching frequency range. Even if the gain curve can be extended, the required high switching frequency may be difficult to achieve due to the limitation of switching devices, which may be dangerous, especially in high power applications.

[0051] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, in which the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0052] Firstly, the key technical terms related to the embodiments of the present application are explained, as shown in Table 1.

[0053] Table 1

[0054]

[0055]

[0056] In the embodiments of the present application, the CLLC converter is a bidirectional isolated DC-DC converter. Due to its resonant working principle, it can effectively realize excellent soft switching characteristics, thereby having high efficiency. Its symmetrical resonant cavity makes it very suitable for use in scenarios requiring bidirectional power transmission, such as energy storage systems.

[0057] The topology of the CLLC converter is shown in Figure 1 . Referring to Figure 1 , the CLLC converter is composed of two H-bridges and a resonant cavity. The input side is the primary side and the output side is the secondary side when working in the forward direction. The switch tubes of the primary side are S1-S4, and the switch tubes of the secondary side are S5-S8. The switch tubes are usually silicon-based or silicon carbide (SiC)-based metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), or gallium nitride high mobility transistors (GaNHEMTs). The resonant cavity includes a primary resonant inductor L r1 , a resonant capacitor C r1 , a transformer with a transformation ratio of n:1 and its excitation inductor L m , a secondary resonant inductor L r2 , and C r2 . Large capacitors C in and C out may be connected in parallel between the input terminals of the primary side and the output terminals of the secondary side to stabilize the terminal voltage. The square wave voltage v AB is generated by the primary H-bridge between the input points A and B of the resonant cavity, and the voltage between the output points C and D is v CD . The primary input voltage is V p , and the output voltage V s is rectified by the secondary H-bridge. In the circuit, the loop resonant current of the primary side is i p , the excitation current is i m , and the loop resonant current of the secondary side is i s .

[0058] The CLLC converter is usually modulated by pulse frequency. According to the relationship between the switching frequency f s and the resonant frequency , it can be divided into three modes: f s <f r , f s =f r , and f s >f r . The bidirectional gain characteristics of the CLLC converter under frequency modulation are shown in Figure 2 . For ease of description, in the embodiments of the present application, the bidirectional normalized gain is uniformly defined as V s / (nV p ), regardless of the direction of power transmission.

[0059] For the existing CLLC converter:

[0060] In f s <f r (When the switching frequency is less than the resonant frequency), CLLC converters are generally designed to operate in the PO mode, such as... Figure 3 As shown. The primary-side switches S1 and S4 and switches S2 and S3 are alternately turned on, each occupying 50% of the cycle. Therefore, the resonant cavity input voltage u... AB It presents a square wave, which excites the resonant cavity to generate a resonant current. The primary current i p From the secondary current i s and excitation current i m It is formed by superposition. Secondary current i s It resonates to its peak value within half a cycle and then decays to zero. Secondary current i s The resonant phase is called the P-phase, and the phase after the resonant current decreases to zero is called the O-phase. In the simplest driving mode, the secondary-side switches remain normally closed, and only their anti-parallel diodes control the secondary-side current i. s When the voltage is not zero, it is passively turned on, achieving the effect of uncontrolled rectification. To reduce the conduction loss of the diode during secondary-side rectification, CLLC converters often employ synchronous rectification technology. Therefore, during the positive half-cycle, the secondary-side switches S5 and S8, when the secondary-side current i... s When the current is greater than 0, the circuit is turned on, allowing current to flow through the active switch and reducing losses.

[0061] In f s =f r In this case, the CLLC converter operates in the P mode, which can be regarded as a special case of the PO mode, that is, the O mode time is reduced to 0.

[0062] In f s >f r In general, CLLC converters operate in NP mode, such as... Figure 4 As shown. The primary-side switches S1 and S4 and S2 and S3 are also alternately turned on, each occupying 50% of the cycle. During this time, the secondary-side current, under the rectification of the uncontrolled diode, does not have a zero-current phase. Within half a cycle, the secondary-side current is initially negative, at which point v... AB and v CD The polarities are opposite, which is the N stage; thereafter, the secondary current i s Become positive, v AB and v CD With the same polarity, it is the P stage. The equivalent circuit diagrams for P, N, and O stages are as follows: Figure 5 As shown.

[0063] It can be seen that, compared with the PO mode and the NP mode, the CLLC converter has better operating characteristics in the PO mode. The reasons include: (1) In the NP mode, the switching frequency is greater than f r, the switching loss is large. At the same time, in terms of variation, the same amplitude of gain drop will lead to a large increase in switching frequency (the gain curve is flatter), thereby increasing the switching loss. (2) In the NP mode, the current on the reverse side is cut off at its peak, resulting in a large turn-off loss.

[0064] Therefore, it is desirable for the CLLC to work in the PO mode as much as possible.

[0065] As described in the above background, under the requirement of bidirectional operation, the reverse operation in the existing modulation scheme is to reverse the primary and secondary side drive signals, that is, the secondary side is driven with a 50% duty cycle, and the primary side is synchronized to rectify. This will make the reverse gain curve of the converter become the inverse of the forward gain curve, as shown in Figure 2 .

[0066] The existing technical solutions have the following problems:

[0067] (1) Generally, bidirectional power switching is carried out under the condition of constant gain, which will make the CLLC converter switch from the PO mode to the NP mode, and the frequency span range is large, resulting in problems such as wide comprehensive frequency modulation range and low efficiency.

[0068] (2) Worse still, the flatter gain curve in the NP mode limits the gain range of the converter. Specifically, in order to meet the required bidirectional gain range, a rectangular box is used to enclose the operating area, as shown in Figure 6 . The upper limit of the gain range is limited by the NP mode, considering the symmetric switching frequency range. Even if the gain curve can be extended, the required high switching frequency may be difficult to achieve due to the limitations of the switching device, especially in high-power applications, which can be dangerous.

[0069] Therefore, in view of the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a modulation method for a CLLC converter to achieve bidirectional symmetric power transmission, which realizes symmetric bidirectional power transmission characteristics, reduces the frequency modulation range of the CLLC converter, and improves the comprehensive efficiency.

[0070] Specifically, the present application includes the following steps:

[0071] Step 101, obtaining the topology structure of the CLLC converter, determining the connection relationship of the H-bridge circuit of the primary side and the secondary side, the resonant cavity and the input and output ports;

[0072] Step 102, when transmitting reverse power, making the CLLC converter work in the OP mode, wherein the OP mode includes P phase and O phase: in the P phase, the secondary side current is negative, the converter transmits reverse power, and the secondary side current enters the O phase after completing the zero current switching; in the O phase, the secondary side current becomes positive, enters the negative P mode, and completes the reverse power transmission;

[0073] Step 103, when switching between the P phase and the O phase, the original side 50% complementary square wave driving signal is used for control, ensuring that the switching frequency is the same when transmitting forward and reverse under the same voltage gain and opposite load, and realizing bidirectional switching of reverse and forward power transmission by adjusting the aligned edges of the original side and the secondary side driving signals.

[0074] It should be noted that the topology of the CLLC converter has been described in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0075] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present application embodiment proposes a new CLLC working mode-OP mode, and the waveform diagram is as shown in Figure 7 The working principle is as follows:

[0076] In the P phase [φ t1 ~φ t2 ]: This phase is the same as the P phase in the original forward PO mode, and the secondary side current i s is negative. Therefore, the converter is transmitting reverse power (v CD ·i s <0). At φ t2 , due to the reverse of v AB , the resonant circuit changes, and the main side resonant circuit continues to consume power. Since S5 and S8 are turned off, and their anti-parallel diodes cannot conduct negative i s , i s remains at zero, and the secondary side enters the dead time, i.e. the O phase. When i s approaches zero, S5 and S8 are turned off, completing zero current switching (ZCS). S1 and S4 are turned off when the main side current i p is at a medium value.

[0077] In the O phase [φ t2 ~φ t3 ]: At φ t2 , S6 and S7 are turned on under zero voltage switching (ZVS). Due to the change in the combination of the main side switches, the CLLC converter enters the negative half cycle. The main side current remains positive. At φ t3 , S6 and S7 continue to be turned on, v CD is reversed, i s becomes positive, providing reverse power (v CD ·i s <0). Therefore, the converter enters the negative P mode.

[0078] Since in each half cycle, the O phase must occur before the P phase, the present application embodiment calls this power transmission mode OP mode.

[0079] In addition, in the OP mode, the time-domain state of the P stage is:

[0080]

[0081] In the OP mode, the time-domain state of the O stage is:

[0082]

[0083] wherein φ = 2πf r t, k = L m / L r1 , P1, P2, P3, P4, O1, O2, and M are undetermined variables;

[0084] To determine the undetermined variables, boundary conditions are constructed, and the formula is:

[0085]

[0086] By simultaneously solving the above formula 1), formula 2), and formula 3), the accurate time-domain behavior of the OP mode can be calculated.

[0087] In addition, based on the OP mode, as described in step 103, the embodiments of the present application also propose a new bidirectional modulation strategy, as shown in Figure 8 . This scheme realizes reverse power transmission by replacing the NP mode with the OP mode. In the primary side, the driving signals of the PO mode and the OP mode are both the same 50% complementary square wave. Under the same voltage gain and opposite load, the switching frequency of the PO mode is the same as that of the OP mode. The bidirectional switching operation of the forward and reverse can keep the switching frequency unchanged. The only change of control is to adjust the aligned edges of the primary and secondary driving signals.

[0088] In the embodiments of the present application, the gain curve of the CLLC converter under the bidirectional modulation strategy is as shown in Figure 9 It can be seen that the gain curves of the PO mode and the OP mode overlap, and the bidirectional switching operation is represented by the same point on the gain curve. Therefore, the reverse gain range is the same as the forward gain range, and is no longer limited by the high resonance region. Figure 9 It also shows that the switching frequency range is saved beyond the part of the resonance frequency, because the maximum switching frequency f s,max is not greater than the resonance frequency f r .

[0089] These characteristics bring two main advantages, significantly reducing switching loss:

[0090] 1. The saved switching frequency range reduces f s .

[0091] 2. Replacing NP mode with OP mode reduces the hard-off current, thus reducing the off energy E off .

[0092] In addition, the parameter design method proposed in the embodiments of the present application is also very rich when considering one-way operation. The parameter design includes two parts: the values of the converter elements and the control parameters. The design of these two parts can be coupled or independent, and can be designed for optimization of any desired characteristics, which is not specifically limited in the present application. Unlike the complex asymmetric parameter design method which reconsiders the entire design process, the parameter design of the scheme proposed in the present application only needs to easily extend the one-way parameter design to the other direction, whether the forward design is open-loop or closed-loop, using SR with sensor or SR without sensor.

[0093] Because of the symmetry of PO and OP, when the control parameter design in PO mode is completed, i.e. the switching frequency f s and the duty cycle D p and D s , the same parameter values can be directly applied to OP mode for the same gain and opposite load, and the only change is to transfer the aligned edge from the rising edge to the falling edge.

[0094] It should be noted that the symmetry of PO and OP is defined as: under the condition of meeting the boundary condition frequency equal constraint and the opposite load current constraint, the forward PO and reverse OP gains are the same, the resonant current waveform is symmetric about the center (t = 1 / 4*T, i = 0) in half a cycle, and the resonant voltage waveform is symmetric about t = 1 / 4*T in half a cycle.

[0095] Figure 10 The complete parameter design process of PO mode is shown. The parameter design process includes the following steps:

[0096] Step I: Element parameter design.

[0097] In this step, some element parameters in the CLLC converter need to be designed, such as L r1 , L r2 , L m , n, C r1 , C r2 , etc.

[0098] Step II: Control parameter design.

[0099] This step involves the design of the switching frequency f s and the duty cycle D p and D s . Specifically:

[0100] In open-loop control, fs_PO Designed according to the required gain M and load current I0; f s_PO Designed according to the set value and feedback loop.

[0101] Duty cycle D p_PO Always designed as 50%.

[0102] When there is sensor synchronous rectification, D s_PO Designed according to the current sensor measurement value and dead zone; when there is no sensor synchronous rectification, D s_PO Designed according to prediction.

[0103] Step III: Save the design parameters.

[0104] In this step, the selected switching frequency f s_PO , duty cycle D p_PO and D s_PO are saved, and the working condition M and load current I0 are recorded.

[0105] Step IV: Control parameter design of OP mode under working condition M and load current I0.

[0106] In this step, the control parameter design is adjusted as:

[0107] f s_OP = f s_PO

[0108] D p_OP = D p_PO

[0109] D s_OP = D s_PO

[0110] That is, the switching frequency f s and duty cycle D p of OP mode and D s are consistent with PO mode.

[0111] In addition, the embodiments of the present application are tested on the experimental platform shown in Table 2, and the waveform diagram of OP mode can be obtained as Figure 11 shown, so it can be seen that the OP mode proposed in the present application indeed exists, and the theoretical time domain model and the actual one are highly consistent, and the modeling is accurate.

[0114] Under the same external working condition (V p = 300V, I s = ±10A, Vs The time-domain waveforms of PO, NP, and OP (with opposite forward and reverse currents) at 158V are shown in Figure 12. The waveform symmetry of PO and OP, as well as the significant frequency difference between them and NP, can be observed.

[0115] The gain curves of PO, NP and OP were measured experimentally as follows: Figure 13 As shown, the gain curves conform to theoretical expectations, and the PO and OP curves almost overlap, ensuring that the bidirectional power transfer frequency range is below the resonant frequency, thus saving the switching frequency range and reducing switching losses during reverse transmission. Efficiency is then measured, such as... Figure 14 As shown, the OP mode significantly improves the converter's operating efficiency under the same external operating conditions, proving the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

[0116] Based on the analysis of diode mechanisms and mode theory, this application's embodiments discovered the OP mode, which possesses gain characteristics symmetrical to the PO mode, significantly improving reverse performance. Furthermore, this application's embodiments propose a symmetrical modulation scheme, integrating the OP mode to provide a good solution for a high-efficiency, wide-gain, low-switching-frequency-range bidirectional DC-DC converter. This application can be used with any unidirectional CLLC converter design to achieve the same reverse performance.
