[0061] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more.

[0062] The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application are introduced.

[0063] The present application provides a composite control method for optimizing the dynamic performance of a resonant converter. The composite control method includes an open-loop control part and a closed-loop control part. Whether it is the composite control method or the open-loop control part and the closed-loop control part contained therein, the control quantity is the switching frequency f s The output of the compound controller is the sum of the output of the open-loop control part and the closed-loop control part.

[0064] Example 1

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a composite control method for optimizing the dynamic performance of a resonant converter. The circuit state parameter required to be sampled by the composite control method is the input voltage V in , output voltage V o And the output current I o , the output is the switching frequency f of the resonant converter s , the specific resonant converter topology is as follows Figure 2 As shown;

[0066] The output frequency f of the open-loop control so It is a constant value when there is no large-scale load mutation; when a large-scale load mutation occurs, its output frequency changes according to the current circuit state (input voltage V in And the output current Io ), matching the corresponding steady-state operating point, so that the output frequency jumps to the corresponding output frequency f of the next state so ;

[0067] The feedback quantity of closed-loop control is the output voltage V o , its output frequency f sc It changes slightly in each control cycle to stabilize the output voltage in steady state;

[0068] The output of the composite control method is the switching frequency f of the resonant converter. s , whose value is the output frequency f of the open-loop control so The output frequency f of the closed-loop control sc Addition;

[0069] A composite control method for optimizing the dynamic performance of a resonant converter, wherein a method for selecting a steady-state operating point comprises the following steps:

[0070] (1) Setting the circuit parameters of the resonant converter;

[0071] (2) Using the obtained circuit parameters to calculate, simulate or test the actual machine to obtain the gain G of the resonant cavity with the quality factor Q and the switching frequency f s The X-axis represents the switching frequency f s and the resonant frequency f n The Y axis represents the gain G of the resonant cavity; the resonant converter includes a resonant cavity;

[0072] (3) Draw a straight line parallel to the X-axis (representing the same input voltage) with an appropriate resonant cavity gain interval. The intersection of the straight line and the curve is the steady-state operating point at different loads under the input voltage represented by the current straight line; among them, the output current I o representation;

[0073] To more clearly illustrate the process of selecting the steady-state operating point, a design example and diagrams are provided below. This example is a 3200W 12V LLC resonant converter design. The specific design parameters are shown in the following table.

[0074]

[0075] Where P is the rated output power of the resonant converter; C r is the capacitance value of the resonant capacitor; L r is the inductance value of the resonant inductor; L m is the inductance of the excitation inductor; N is the turns ratio of the primary and secondary sides of the transformer; f n C r and L rThe series resonant frequency of

[0076] The LLC circuit parameters are used to simulate the LLC resonant converter. LLC refers to a resonant cavity composed of two inductors (L) and a capacitor (C). The gain G of the resonant cavity varies with the quality factor Q and the switching frequency f. s The changing curve, such as Figure 3 As shown, due to the difference between Q and I o is proportional, so Figure 3 Directly use Q with I o Instead, it is more intuitive to convert the load size into output current I o size.

[0077] Draw straight lines parallel to the X-axis (representing the same input voltage) at appropriate intervals. The intersection of the straight line and the curve is the steady-state operating point at different loads under the input voltage represented by the current straight line. The corresponding horizontal axis is the normalized switching frequency at the current steady-state operating point. Further multiply by the resonant frequency f n The switching frequency at the current steady-state operating point can be obtained. The specific selection of the steady-state operating point is shown in Figure 4(a) and Figure 4(b). It should be noted that Figure 4(a) and Figure 4(b) only show the straight lines represented by part of the input voltage to illustrate the method of selecting the steady-state operating point.

[0078] (4) Finally, the obtained data is organized into a table, and the table is looked up in each control cycle to determine the output frequency of the open-loop controller. The steady-state operating point table obtained according to the above embodiment is as follows: Figure 5 As shown; the table records the gain of different resonant cavities, different quality factors (characterizing the load) and switching frequency f s and the resonant frequency f n The ratio between.

[0079] Further preferably, after determining the appropriate steady-state operating point, the open-loop control specifically includes the following steps:

[0080] (1) Collect the input voltage V of the resonant converter in and the output current I of the resonant converter o ;

[0081] (2) Using the rated input voltage V of the resonant converter N Divide by the collected current input voltage V in , get the gain G of the current resonant cavity;

[0082] (3) Using output current I o Multiply by the proportional coefficient to convert to the corresponding quality factor Q. The conversion method is given in formulas (5) and (6). In this example, k = 0.00138 can be calculated;

[0083] More specifically, I o The conversion between I and Q is a simple proportional relationship. Taking the LLC resonant converter as an example, the conversion between I o The relationship between Q is deduced as follows:

[0084] According to the definition of quality factor Q:

[0085]

[0086] Among them, R ac is the primary side fundamental wave equivalent resistance;

[0087] The primary side fundamental wave equivalent resistance R ac With the load resistor R L There are the following relationships:

[0088]

[0089] Where N is the transformer primary to secondary turns ratio;

[0090] And because the load resistance R L With the output voltage V o and output current I o There are the following relationships:

[0091]

[0092] Combining formulas (1) to (3), we can obtain:

[0093]

[0094] Output voltage V o In this control mode, it can be regarded as a fixed value, and the other parameters are constants that have been determined in the parameter design stage. Therefore, taking the LLC resonant converter as an example, the output current I o The relationship with the quality factor Q can be expressed as:

[0095] Q=k·I o (5)

[0096] The expression of the constant k is:

[0097]

[0098] It should be understood that some of the above formulas for calculating the k value may vary slightly in different resonant converters, but the calculation ideas and the rule that k is a constant are applicable to resonant converters with any frequency control;

[0099] (4) If the change of G and Q does not exceed the specified range, the output of the open-loop controller remains unchanged; if the value of G and Q changes beyond the specified range, the value of G and Q is approximated, and the corresponding frequency in the steady-state operating point table is found using the corresponding G and Q, which is the output frequency f of the open-loop controller. so .

[0100] It is worth noting that since G and Q in the steady-state operating point table are limited to a few discrete values, not all calculated G and Q can find corresponding operating points in the table, so it is necessary to approximate the calculated G and Q to correspond to the points in the table. There are many methods to choose from for data approximation. It should be noted that the purpose of data approximation is to find the corresponding values ​​of all calculated G and Q in the table, and then determine the output frequency. Therefore, the method and logic of data approximation will not be elaborated in detail here. It should be pointed out here that the number of steady-state operating points selected, that is, the number of elements in the steady-state operating point table, is related to the number of different quality factors Q selected and the number of different input voltages V in If m steady-state operating points with different quality factors under n different input voltages are selected, the number of elements in the steady-state operating point table is m*n.

[0101] Closed-loop control is as follows Figure 1 The closed-loop controller shown in the figure includes the following steps:

[0102] S1: Collect output voltage V o ;

[0103] S2: Output voltage V o With reference voltage V ref The voltage error signal V e ;

[0104] S3: Perform proportional integral (PI) operation on the error signal to obtain the closed-loop controller output frequency f sc Finally, the output frequency of the open-loop controller is added to the output frequency of the closed-loop controller to obtain the output frequency of the composite controller, which is the switching frequency f of the resonant converter. s .

[0105] In summary, taking a 3200W 12V LLC resonant converter as an example, the composite control method for optimizing the dynamic performance of the LLC resonant converter is explained in detail, and the implementation steps of the control method proposed in this application are explained. The optimization effect of the composite control provided in this application on the dynamic performance of the LLC resonant converter is as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the composite control method will input voltage V in =450V, the voltage drop when switching from no-load to full-load is reduced from 3.9V to 0.5V, which effectively optimizes the dynamic performance of the LLC resonant converter.
