Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of Boost PFC converters, and in particular to a cascade-free cooperative control method and system of a Boost PFC converter based on a super-local model. Background Art

[0002] To meet harmonic requirements for power equipment connected to the grid, as mandated by international standards and grid codes, power factor correction (PFC) converters have garnered significant research attention. Boost PFC converters, due to their compact size, lightweight, high efficiency, and minimal conduction losses, have become the primary circuit topology for implementing power factor correction in medium- and high-power applications. Control strategies for boost PFC circuits are typically based on a dual closed-loop structure, consisting of a low-bandwidth outer voltage loop and a high-bandwidth inner current loop. Traditional boost PFC converter voltage control systems primarily design a PI voltage controller based on the converter's mathematical model. This controller actively reduces bandwidth to limit the passage of double-frequency voltage ripple. However, when the load changes, the low-bandwidth PI voltage control results in a slow dynamic response of the system output voltage, resulting in large overshoots and a long stabilization time. This increases circuit losses and can even damage circuit components.

[0003] To achieve low harmonic distortion in the Boost PFC converter's steady-state input current while ensuring rapid convergence of the output voltage during dynamic operation, Chinese patent CN112350565B employs a cascaded model-free predictive control system to design the control of the outer voltage loop and inner current loop. The outer voltage loop indirectly maintains the converter's output voltage stability by providing a reference value for the inner current loop. However, due to the low bandwidth of the outer voltage control loop, this indirect control of the output voltage affects the overall system's dynamic performance. Boost PFC converters suffer from component conduction voltage drops, resistive losses, and switching losses, leading to poor steady-state control accuracy in the cascaded model-free control system. Furthermore, the control system requires a dual closed-loop cascade control structure, comprising the inner current loop and the outer voltage loop, resulting in a complex control structure.

[0004] Cooperative control, a highly promising control method, boasts a simple control structure and flexible implementation. It can also improve the steady-state accuracy of the system's output voltage by varying the design of macro variables. Due to differences in steady-state control accuracy among different control strategies, cooperative control faces a challenge in manifold design. The control of the input voltage and input current of a boost PFC converter directly impacts system control performance. Therefore, the most classic manifold design is to design the manifold as a linear combination of the output voltage error term and the inductor current error term. Given that boost PFC converters are affected by factors such as component conduction voltage drops, resistor losses, and switching losses in actual operation, cooperative control based on traditional macro variable designs exhibits a static error in the average output voltage. Therefore, an integral term for the output voltage error is added to the traditional macro variable design to eliminate the static error in the average output voltage caused by factors such as component conduction voltage drops, resistor losses, and switching losses. Cascade-free cooperative control can effectively improve the steady-state control accuracy of the boost PFC converter's output voltage. It also offers the technical advantages of a simple control structure and strong resistance to load disturbances under sudden load power fluctuations, comprehensively improving the dynamic control and steady-state performance of boost PFC converters. Summary of the Invention

[0146] (3) The dynamic evolution equation of the system converging to the manifold is set as shown in Equation (17):

[0147]

[0148] Where T represents the convergence time constant of the system toward the manifold surface, T>0; Represents the derivative of a macro variable.

[0149] (4) By solving equations (15) to (17), the duty cycle control law of non-cascaded cooperative control is obtained as equation (18);

[0150]

[0153]

[0154] Wherein, d is the duty cycle control signal.

[0155] (6) Unlike the cascade control system, the cascade-free control system removes the voltage outer loop, and the reference current amplitude is given by the average power conservation principle:

[0163] in, is the differential of the Lyapunuov function;

[0164] Because T>0, ψ 2 >0, so The defined Lyapunuov function satisfies the asymptotic convergence condition, proving that the proposed cascadeless cooperative control achieves stable operation of the Boost PFC converter system.

[0165] The fourth step is cascade-free cooperative control of the Boost PFC converter: the duty cycle control signal is modulated by the PWM modulation module to obtain the power switch device drive signal s[k] of the kth cycle, and the action of the power switch device S of the Boost PFC converter is controlled to realize the cascade-free cooperative control of the Boost PFC converter based on the super-local model.

[0166] like Figure 2 As shown, a system of a cascadeless cooperative control method of a Boost PFC converter based on a super-local model is also provided herein. The single-phase Boost PFC converter includes a single-phase Boost PFC converter main circuit and a cascadeless cooperative control system.

[0167] The main circuit of the single-phase Boost PFC converter includes an uncontrolled rectifier bridge circuit and a Boost converter. The Boost converter includes a boost inductor L, a power switch device (tube) S, a freewheeling diode D, an output capacitor C and a resistive load R. One end of the boost inductor L on the input side of the Boost converter is the input end of the Boost converter, and the other end is respectively connected to the anode of the freewheeling diode D and the drain of the power switch device S. The source of the power switch device S is grounded, and the gate is connected to the output end of the PWM modulation module in the cascaded model-free predictive control system. The cathode of the freewheeling diode D is connected to one end of the output capacitor C, and the other end of the output capacitor C is grounded. The resistive load R is connected in parallel to both ends of the output capacitor C.

[0168] The cascade-free collaborative control system includes a PWM modulation module, a reference inductor current value generation module, a load current estimation module, and a collaborative control module. The input of the average filter module is connected to the output of the output voltage, and the output is connected to the input of the model-free predictive voltage controller; the output of the PWM modulation module is connected to the gate of the power switching device S; the output of the reference current value generation module is connected to the input of the collaborative controller; the input of the collaborative controller is connected to the reference output voltage value, inductor current reference value, output voltage value, and inductor current value specified by the user, and the output is connected to the input of the PWM modulation module.

[0169] In order to verify the effectiveness of the control method of the cascade-free cooperative control system described in the present invention, Matlab / Simulink simulation was carried out. The specific process of Matlab / Simulink simulation is as follows:

[0170] Use Matlab / simulink software to build Figure 2 The simulation model of the single-phase Boost PFC converter control system without cascade cooperative control is shown in the figure. The converter main circuit parameters are: load rated power 1000W, AC input voltage 110V / 50Hz, DC output voltage 300V, boost inductor 486μH, output capacitor 990μF, switching frequency 50kHz, n F The data window length n F =12, the number of sampling points N in the average filtering algorithm module is 20.

[0171] The macro variable ψ decays exponentially with the time constant T. After 3T to 4T, the system approaches a manifold, and the system continues to operate on this manifold. The dynamic response time T of the Boost PFC converter is obtained based on the system transient response process. d is about 0.16s, and the range of the time constant T is [T d / 4, T d / 3], so the time constant T is set to 0.04. The macro variable design primarily includes three parameters: the inductor current error coefficient k1, the output voltage error coefficient k2, and the voltage error integral coefficient k3. The coefficient k1 defines the inductor current weighting factor in the macro variable, and its value affects the quality of the inductor current waveform. When the system reaches the manifold surface, its proportionality parameter must balance the output voltage and inductor current control performance. Increasing the relative proportion of the current error coefficient improves the controller's tracking of the inductor current reference value, but results in a larger output voltage tracking error. Increasing the relative proportion of the voltage error coefficient increases the controller's dynamic response to the output voltage, but affects the quality of the inductor current waveform. Increasing the relative proportion of the output voltage error integral coefficient improves the controller's output voltage accuracy when reaching steady-state. After tuning data from multiple simulations and experiments, k1, k2, and k3 were set to 1, 0.4, and 10, respectively.

[0172] The system simulation results through Matlab / Simulink are as follows Figure 3-Figure 12 As shown; where i ac Represents the input current of the converter; i ac ref Represents the reference value of the converter input current; v o Represents the output voltage of the converter. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5The waveforms of the input voltage, input current, and input current reference value for load powers of 1000W, 600W, and 300W under the cascadeless cooperative control scheme are shown. The input current quality has been significantly improved. This is due to the cascadeless cooperative control scheme, which is based on a hyperlocal model design. Algebraic identification techniques are used to estimate the inductor current online, and the power conservation principle is used to generate the inductor current reference value. Due to factors such as actual switching losses and on-state voltage drop, the inductor current reference value cannot be accurately generated, resulting in steady-state errors. The integral term for the output voltage error is added to the traditional macro variable design to further improve the system's steady-state performance.

[0173] Figure 6 The dynamic simulation waveforms of the output voltage and input current of the converter when the load power steps from 1000W to 500W under cascade-free cooperative control are shown; Figure 7 The following diagram shows the dynamic simulation waveforms of the converter's output voltage and input current for a load power step from 500W to 1000W under cascade-free cooperative control. The output voltage recovers quickly and stabilizes quickly. This is due to the unified management of inductor current and output voltage achieved under the cascade-free cooperative control scheme based on a hyperlocal model. This compensates for the limited dynamic response of the traditional cascade control scheme, where the outer voltage loop indirectly provides a reference value for the inner current loop, thereby accelerating the system's dynamic response performance.

[0174] Figure 8 The steady-state experimental waveforms of the input voltage and input current of the non-cascaded cooperative control system are shown when the load power is 1000W; Figure 9 This is the steady-state experimental waveform of the input voltage and input current of the non-cascaded cooperative control system when the load power is 500w; Figure 10 It is a dynamic experimental waveform diagram showing the output voltage and input current of the cascade-free cooperative control system when the load power steps from 1000W to 500W; Figure 11 Figure 3 shows the dynamic experimental waveforms of the output voltage and input current of the cascadeless cooperative control system when the load power steps from 500W to 1000W. The experimental results are consistent with the simulation results, confirming that the proposed cascadeless cooperative control scheme based on the hyperlocal model has high control accuracy and convergence speed, while taking into account both the steady-state and dynamic control performance of the Boost PFC converter system.

[0175] Figure 12 The power factor of the Boost PFC converter input current under different control schemes is shown. This clearly shows that the cascadeless cooperative control scheme is overall superior to the cascaded model-free control and PI control schemes. In particular, the cascadeless cooperative control significantly improves the input current power factor and optimizes the current quality of the Boost converter input current at low power load output.

[0176] In summary, the proposed cascade-free cooperative control scheme based on the hyperlocal model can take into account both the system dynamic control performance and steady-state operation performance.
