Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of power electronics, and particularly relates to current balancing technology in parallel application of power devices, and is especially suitable for parallel use of power switching tubes and other power devices, and is widely applied to occasions requiring high power density and high reliability, such as electric vehicle power systems, industrial motor drives, power system power conversion, etc. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to meet the high power requirement of energy storage converters, parallel technology of high-power devices has become a common solution. For example, in some medium and large energy storage systems, multiple insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) or silicon carbide metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (power switching tubes) and other high-power devices are often used in parallel operation. However, this parallel mode faces many challenges. There are certain differences in the manufacturing process of high-power devices, and even devices produced in the same batch have difficulty in being completely consistent in parameters such as on-resistance and threshold voltage. In addition, circuit parasitic parameters such as line inductance and capacitance have a significant impact on current distribution in the parallel circuit. These factors combined together lead to the current imbalance phenomenon between the parallel high-power devices in actual operation.

[0003] Current imbalance can bring a series of serious problems to energy storage converters. Current imbalance is particularly prominent during switching transient process. Some devices that bear larger current will generate excessive heat, causing the junction temperature to rise. In this state for a long time, the aging speed of the device is accelerated, greatly increasing the risk of device damage, thereby reducing the reliability of the energy storage converter. Moreover, current imbalance can also cause additional energy loss, reduce the overall conversion efficiency of the system, and increase the operating cost of the system. At present, for the current imbalance problem of parallel large power devices, the existing driving technology has certain limitations. The passive method such as device screening can select devices with relatively close parameters, but this method is costly and time-consuming, and lacks practicality in large-scale production and application scenarios. The symmetric circuit layout is limited by the physical structure of the actual circuit board, and it is difficult to achieve complete symmetry, especially when multiple large power devices are connected in parallel. It is almost impossible to ensure that the parasitic parameters of each device are completely consistent. Coupled inductors can suppress dynamic current imbalance to some extent, but they are relatively large in size, and as the number of parallel devices increases, the number and cost of inductors required will increase significantly. In the active method, the traditional active gate driver (AGD) technology also has some problems. Some AGD methods require high-bandwidth current sensors, which not only increases the system cost, but also puts higher requirements on the installation and layout of the sensors. Some AGD methods have slow response speed and cannot adapt to the fast switching requirements of large power devices, resulting in large current imbalance during the switching transient process. In addition, some AGD methods have complex control circuits and are difficult to extend to multiple parallel devices, limiting their application range in actual energy storage converter engineering. In summary, in the energy storage converter, the current imbalance problem of parallel large power devices seriously affects the system performance and reliability, and the existing driving technology cannot effectively solve these problems, so there is an urgent need for a new and efficient driving optimization technology to improve this situation.
