Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of soft switching circuits of reconfigurable secondary / semi-secondary DC-DC converters, and in particular to a transformerless resonant soft switching circuit of a reconfigurable secondary / semi-secondary DC-DC converter, which maintains the original working characteristics of each converter in the reconfigurable circuit, and the resonant network circuits do not affect each other. All power devices in the main circuit of the converter and all power devices in the auxiliary resonant network are fully soft switches. Background Art

[0002] The design of hydrogen production power supply for water electrolysis hydrogen production system in new energy scenarios must not only meet the working characteristics of large current and low ripple on the hydrogen production side of the electrolyzer, but also take into account the strong volatility of the power of new energy hydrogen production. The continuity of the electrolyzer power supply has an impact on the service life of the electrolyzer. Therefore, the DC-DC converter used for new energy water electrolysis hydrogen production should meet the requirements of high step-down conversion ratio, low output current ripple, high fault tolerance, high efficiency, low electromagnetic interference and low cost. Based on the above hydrogen production power supply requirements, the secondary buck and semi-secondary buck-boost reconfigurable topologies as hydrogen production converters are suitable for new energy hydrogen production scenarios.

[0003] In order to reduce the weight and size of the hydrogen production converter and meet the technical requirements of high power density, it is necessary to increase the switching frequency of the converter. However, the increase in switching frequency leads to an increase in switching losses, thereby reducing the transmission efficiency of the traditional pulse width modulation (PWM) switch mode converter. For the reconfigurable secondary / semi-secondary DC-DC converter, although each reconfigurable circuit has only one active power switch tube, there are three power diodes. Under high-frequency working conditions, the switching losses of the four tubes will increase significantly. Therefore, the overall efficiency of the converter can be improved by reducing the switching losses of the power devices. Soft switching technology is to control the conduction and shutdown of the switching device under zero voltage and zero current conditions, which effectively reduces the switching loss and switching noise of the circuit and is widely used in power electronic devices. However, there is a lack of literature and information on the soft switching design of reconfigurable secondary / semi-secondary DC-DC converters. The present invention proposes a resonant soft switching circuit based on a reconfigurable secondary / semi-secondary DC-DC converter, so that all power devices in each converter have soft switching functions, and full soft switching capabilities for conduction and shutdown, and the characteristics of large PWM adjustment range, wide output voltage range, high switching frequency and high power density.
