Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pulse power source technology, specifically to a pulse generator based on magnetic induction current sharing parallel switching. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, pulsed power technology has been widely used in food processing, microalgae treatment, plasma reactions, and underwater discharge. In these applications, due to their low-impedance load characteristics, in addition to the need for high-voltage pulse output, the ability to generate large currents is also required. Pulse generators are also developing towards higher power. Simultaneously, to meet the demands of large-scale industrial applications requiring low cost, short pulse width, and high repetition rate, higher requirements are placed on pulse sources and their switching devices. Existing pulse generators based on capacitor energy storage can achieve high-voltage output, but their output current is limited by the switching devices used. Currently, the rated current of a single commercially available switch is still very limited, and increasing the rated output current of pulse generators remains a challenge that needs to be addressed.
[0003] Parallel connection of switches is a simpler and more efficient solution to improve the output current and power of a pulse generator. However, due to the dispersion of parameters between devices and the lack of consistency in circuit parasitic parameters, current imbalance inevitably occurs in different parallel switch branches when two or more switches are connected in parallel. This includes imbalance in static current after conduction and imbalance in transient current generated during the switching process. Ensuring current sharing in parallel switches is a prerequisite for the long-term stable operation of the generator and remains an unresolved challenge.
[0004] Existing parallel module schemes can output high-current pulses on low-impedance loads. However, these schemes increase the size and structural complexity of the pulse generator. Furthermore, the lack of current sharing measures among the parallel modules results in current imbalances that pose a significant challenge to the long-term reliable and stable operation of the entire pulse generator. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The host computer generates circuit parameters and transmits them to the control signal generation module, which then generates solid-state switch control signals.
[0035] Furthermore, when solid-state switches S1 and S2 are turned on, the first current branch and the second current branch flow into two coupled coils with the same number of turns on the magnetic core, generating magnetic fluxes in opposite directions in the magnetic circuit.

[0230] The various modules of this invention patent are as follows: Figure 1 As shown.
[0231] Figure 2This is a topology circuit using magnetic induction current-sharing parallel switching pulse generation technology. When the parallel SiC MOSFETs begin to conduct, the currents in the two SiC MOSFET branches flow into two coupled coils with the same number of turns on a common magnetic core, generating magnetic fluxes in opposite directions in the magnetic circuit. Assuming the devices are perfectly identical and the power loop is perfectly symmetrical, the currents in the two parallel branches are equal, generating magnetic fluxes in opposite directions and of equal magnitude in the magnetic core. The resultant magnetic flux is zero and has no effect on the branch currents. However, due to inconsistencies in device parameters and circuit parasitic parameters, there is a deviation in the currents of the two branches. This current difference generates magnetic flux in the magnetic core. According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the primary coil will induce an electromotive force V. m The secondary coil induces an electromotive force -V m V m =L m dΔi d The electromotive force / dt will drive the unbalanced current to remain zero, thus achieving current balance between the two switching branches. Essentially, the magnetically coupled coil uses magnetic flux as a medium to transfer current from one branch to another, ideally eliminating unbalanced current without energy loss.

[0249]
[0250] Among them, I L For the current across the load resistor after the MOSFET is fully turned on, the equation, after Laplace transformation, yields:
[0251]
[0252] It can be seen that during the switching transient process, the dynamic response time of the unbalanced current is:
[0253] τ 1= (2Lm +L σ +L d1 +L s1 ) / R ds1 ≈2L m / R ds (10)
[0254] During the switching dynamic process, the variable resistor R ds Typically, the value is large, in the MΩ range, so the unbalanced current during the switching dynamic process can be effectively suppressed in a very short time.
[0255] Figure 5 This is the equivalent circuit model of the magnetic induction current sharing in the switching branch after the switch is fully turned on. At this point, the SiC MOSFET can be equivalent to an on-resistance R. dson The transient unbalanced current of the switch has been effectively suppressed, i d1 =i d2 However, due to the switch on-resistance R dson There are differences. As the pulse width increases, the static unbalanced current in the switching branch gradually increases. At this time, the current sharing principle of the magnetic induction coupling coil is as follows:
[0256] From the branch current equation,
[0257] i d1 +i d2 =I L (11)
[0258] It can be known that:
[0259] 2i d1 -Δi d =I L ,2i d2 +Δi d =I L (12)
[0260] Then we can obtain:
[0261]
[0262] At this time, the branch current satisfies the equation:

[0265]
[0266] because
[0267]
[0268] Equation (16), after Laplace transformation, can be expressed as:

[0270] Therefore, it can be seen that when the switch is fully turned on, the magnetizing inductance L m For unbalanced current Δi d The time constant for the inhibitory effect is:
[0271] τ2=2L m / R dson1 (18)

[0274] To fully verify the feasibility of the magnetic induction current sharing method based on coupled inductors proposed in this invention in suppressing transient and static unbalanced currents of parallel SiC MOSFETs in a capacitor energy storage pulse generator, a simulation model based on PSpice software was built. Figure 2 Simulation circuits, such as Figure 7 As shown in Table 1, the Pspice simulation model parameters are also shown. In the simulation circuit, small resistors of different values are connected in series with the source of the SiC MOSFETs in different branches. ds The difference in on-resistance and parasitic resistance of the main discharge circuit, representing the device parameters, is reflected in the drain series inductance L of the SiC MOSFET. d This represents the inconsistency in the parasitic inductance parameters of the switching device and the main circuit. Different values of drive resistor R are connected in series with the gate of the SiC MOSFET. g This represents the difference in parasitic parameters of the switch drive circuit.

[0276]
[0277] The Marx simulation output results for a single-stage magnetic induction current sharing system based on coupled inductors are as follows: Figure 8As shown in the figure, the simulation circuit operates with a DC input of 800V and a pulse width of 500ns. It can be seen that when the parameters of the switching devices in different branches are dispersed or the parasitic parameters of the loop lack consistency (i.e., when the parasitic resistance and stray inductance of the simulated parallel MOSFET branches are inconsistent), the parallel SiC MOSFET exhibits current imbalance during both transient and static conduction processes without current sharing measures. After adopting magnetic induction current sharing, the unbalanced current during both transient and static processes is effectively suppressed.

[0279] See Figures 1 to 9 A magnetic induction current sharing parallel switch pulse generator, the main technical contents of which include:
[0280] To verify the feasibility of this invention, experimental tests were conducted, and a system was built. Figure 8 The test platform shown.
[0281] Figure 9 The figure shows the experimental test results of the capacitor energy storage parallel switch pulse generator. As can be seen from the figure, without current sharing measures, a large unbalanced current appeared between the parallel switches under a pulse width of 500ns. However, after adding magnetic induction current sharing measures, a better current sharing effect was achieved.
[0282] In summary, addressing the challenge that traditional pulse generators are limited by the rated current of the switching devices used, making it difficult to achieve higher current and power outputs, this invention proposes a parallel switching pulse generation technology based on magnetic induction current sharing. By employing magnetic induction current sharing to suppress transient and static unbalanced currents during pulse generation, the problem of uneven current distribution between parallel switching devices is solved, ensuring the reliability and stability of high-current output from capacitor-based energy storage generators.
