Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of power electronic conversion and control, and more specifically, relates to a frequency doubling soft switch control method and a controller for a six-tube Buck-Boost converter. Background Art

[0002] In common energy storage systems, bidirectional DC / DC converters are key devices for achieving voltage conversion and power transmission. With the increase in the voltage level of energy storage devices, higher pressure-bearing requirements are put forward for the bidirectional DC / DC energy storage side ports. In order to facilitate the selection of switching devices and reduce the switching voltage stress, a three-level bridge arm is used to replace the two-level bridge arm in the traditional four-tube Buck-Boost converter to form a new six-tube Buck-Boost converter. Compared with the midpoint clamped three-level and cascaded three-level structures, the six-tube Buck-Boost converter composed of a flying capacitor three-level has the advantages of common input and output grounding and unrestricted switching timing, which is more suitable for high-voltage and high-power occasions.

[0003] At present, the research on six-tube Buck-Boost converters is still focused on hard-switching control strategies. In order to overcome the problems of high switching losses and low device efficiency caused by the traditional hard-switching control method in high-voltage and high-power working scenarios, zero voltage switching (ZVS) can be used to eliminate the loss when the switch is turned on. Without adding additional auxiliary soft-switching loops, compared with the traditional hard-switching method, the realization of soft switching of all switching devices will increase the pulsation and effective value of the inductor current, resulting in increased conduction losses. Under fixed-frequency control, if the switching frequency in the two-level bridge arm is the same as the switching frequency in the three-level bridge arm, when the input voltage is large and the power is low, a larger proportion of circulating current modes will appear, and the pulsation value and effective value of the inductor current will be large, resulting in larger conduction losses.

[0004] Therefore, in order to improve the working efficiency and power density of the six-tube Buck-Boost converter within the full working range, it is of great research significance to realize soft switching control of the entire device, reduce the proportion of circulating current modes, and reduce the inductor current ripple and effective value under the conditions of large input voltage and low power.
