Description

Technical Field

[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. Therefore, a three-level bridge arm is usually 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 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 converter focuses on model predictive control (MPC) and multi-mode control, both of which are hard-switching control strategies. In order to overcome the problems of high switching loss 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, the soft switching of all switching devices will increase the inductor current pulsation compared to the traditional hard-switching method, resulting in increased conduction losses.

[0004] Therefore, in order to improve the working efficiency and power density of the six-tube Buck-Boost converter, how to achieve soft switching control of the entire device and reduce the inductor current pulsation on this basis is of great research significance. Summary of the invention
