Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of transformers, and particularly relates to a method for calculating the voltage stress inside a cascaded high-frequency transformer. Background Art

[0002] As a core component in a DC-DC isolation converter, a high-frequency transformer not only undertakes the important tasks of energy transmission and voltage conversion, but also ensures the safe and stable operation of the system through its electrical isolation function. Under typical operating conditions, the end of the high-frequency transformer is long-term subjected to the action of pulses or square-wave voltages with steep rising edges. A large number of high-frequency harmonic components contained in these voltage waveforms may cause resonance phenomena inside the winding, resulting in a non-uniform distribution characteristic of the internal voltage stress different from that under low-frequency conditions. This non-uniformly distributed voltage stress poses a serious threat to the insulation system of the high-frequency transformer, increases the risk of insulation breakdown, and thus affects the reliability and lifespan of the entire power electronics system.

[0003] Currently, for the calculation of the internal voltage stress of a high-frequency transformer, the field-circuit coupling method is mostly adopted, that is, first establish a field model of the high-frequency transformer through a multi-field coupling finite element simulation software, extract the circuit model parameters under square-wave excitation, and then construct a circuit model to study the internal voltage distribution. However, whether it is the field model or the circuit model, it is more about the parameter extraction and internal voltage stress calculation and analysis of the high-frequency transformer under single-ended excitation conditions, and does not fully consider the typical operating conditions outside the high-frequency transformer, especially the operating conditions under the cascaded conditions of a DC-DC isolation converter. Under cascaded conditions, there are complex electrical connections and mutual influences between different ports of the high-frequency transformer, resulting in particularly complex application of boundary conditions. The traditional field-circuit coupling model is difficult to accurately reflect the voltage stress distribution under the simultaneous excitation of multiple ports. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Among them, Step S1 includes: Step S11: Obtain the pre-stored DC-DC isolation converter parameters, including the external cascading method, internal topology, converter device characteristics, and control strategy; among them, the external cascading method is the electrical connection relationship between pre-stored multi-stage converters; the internal topology includes the circuit configurations of pre-stored full-bridge, half-bridge, or LLC resonant topologies; the control strategy includes the duty cycle of the pre-stored pulse width modulation signal and switching frequency ; the converter device characteristics include the conduction time of the MOSFET in the converter and pulse rise time ; Step S12: Based on the obtained DC-DC isolation converter parameters, construct an equivalent circuit model of the cascaded DC-DC isolation converter in a circuit simulation tool to simulate the time-domain voltage waveforms of each port of the high-frequency transformer under cascading conditions; Step S13: Perform spectral analysis on the time-domain voltage waveforms of each voltage port through fast Fourier transform, extract the harmonic frequency range, and output the spectral information including the fundamental frequency, harmonic amplitude, and phase. Store the spectral information as a frequency-domain data set.

[0029] Further, the simulation equation for the time-domain voltage waveforms of each port of the high-frequency transformer under cascaded conditions is: ; Where is the simulation function, which internally includes Kirchhoff's law, device transient models (such as MOSFET switch models, diode reverse recovery models), and magnetic core nonlinear models; is the internal topology function, which characterizes the circuit connection relationship of the full-bridge LLC topology (such as the on-off logic of the upper and lower tubes of the H-bridge); is the nonlinear magnetic permeability; and are the time-domain voltage waveforms of the high-voltage and low-voltage ports respectively.

[0030] Taking "2 full-bridge LLC converters cascaded (IPOS topology)" as the object, retrieve the electrical connection drawings of the corresponding model converters from the preset cascaded topology library (such as the "input parallel - output series (IPOS)" topology diagram), clarify the port connection relationship between multiple converters (such as the high-voltage sides HV1 and HV2 in parallel, and the low-voltage sides LV1 and LV2 in series), and mark the physical interface and terminal connection correspondence of the high-voltage port (parallel input, voltage 800V), and the low-voltage port (series output, target voltage 1600V).

[0031] Call the circuit configuration file in the preset power topology library (such as the CAD drawing of the full-bridge LLC topology), identify the layout of the core power devices (internal topology structure), and build an equivalent circuit in a circuit simulation tool (such as PLECS) according to the circuit principle of the full-bridge LLC topology - the primary-side H-bridge (generating high-frequency square waves) consists of 4 MOSFETs, and the secondary side consists of 2 synchronous rectifier diodes ((model IDW30G65C5)), with an intermediate series resonant capacitor and a high-frequency transformer (including the exciting inductance , leakage inductance ).

[0032] Export the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal parameters from the control board parameter configuration system - the duty cycle (determines the conduction pulse of the PWM square wave, set according to the power adjustment requirement), the switching frequency (Determine the fundamental frequency of the PWM square wave, which is matched by the resonator design), determine the fundamental frequency and pulse width of the voltage waveform, and maximize the resonance gain of the LLC (Low-Loss Coupling) topology.

[0033] Obtain the characteristics of the converter devices: MOSFET characteristics: Refer to the data sheet of the used model (such as IPW60R041C6) to extract the turn-on time of the MOSFET (A time constant representing the transition of the MOSFET from the off high-impedance state to the on low-impedance state, representing the switching speed ( The larger it is, the slower the drain-source resistance drops, and the drain-source voltage has a flatter falling edge, indirectly resulting in a lower slope of the rising edge of the load current and the port voltage)), pulse rise time (During the turn-off stage of the MOSFET, the time when the drain-source voltage drops from 90% of the rated value to 10% of the rated value, reflecting the turn-off speed ( The smaller it is, the lower the turn-off loss and the better the voltage spike suppression effect)); Core characteristics (retrieve the N87 ferrite data from the pre-stored magnetic core material library): Based on the retrieved B-H curve of the N87 core, calculate the non-linear permeability (When the magnetic field strength H changes, the permeability adjusts dynamically. When the magnetic field strength is reached, the permeability is approximately constant; where is the saturation threshold of the magnetic field strength), and embed it into the excitation inductance model of the high-frequency transformer (N is the number of turns, is the cross-sectional area of the magnetic core, is the magnetic path length).

[0034] Based on the above parameters, simulate the time-domain voltage waveform at the port of the high-frequency transformer under cascade conditions according to the above simulation equation.

[0035] For the time-domain voltage waveform obtained by simulation (such as the HV port , ), set the sampling frequency to 10 times the switching frequency (1 MHz), that is, the sampling frequency ), to avoid high-frequency harmonic aliasing.

[0036] Apply a Blackman-Harris window to the sampled time-domain signal (to suppress spectral leakage), and decompose it through the fast Fourier transform (FFT) to obtain the frequency, amplitude, and phase of each harmonic: Fundamental frequency , and the corresponding amplitude is times the effective value of the port voltage (such as the fundamental amplitude of the HV port is about 752 V); Harmonic frequencies such as the 3rd and 5th harmonics are , , and their amplitudes are jointly determined by the topological harmonic characteristics (such as the resonance gain of the LLC topology) and device characteristics (such as the high-frequency oscillations introduced).

[0037] Organize the extracted spectral information into a standardized data set (such as in JSON format), including: Fundamental wave information: frequency 100 kHz, amplitude 752.3 V, phase -0.12 rad; Harmonic information: 3rd harmonic (300 kHz, 85.1 V, 2.1 rad), 5th harmonic (500 kHz, 42.7 V, -1.9 rad), etc.

[0038] Through the transient solver of the simulation tool, iteratively calculate the differential equation after coupling the above parameters, and finally output the time-domain voltage waveforms at the high / low voltage ports of the high-frequency transformer , .

[0039] Directly correlate the fundamental wave frequency in the frequency-domain data set with the control strategy in step S11 ( ), and correlate the harmonic amplitudes and phases with the characteristics of the converter devices in step S12, ensuring the closure of the technical chain of "time domain - frequency domain - device characteristics", ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the simulation results, and providing a strong guarantee for the optimal design of the high-frequency transformer and the reliability assessment of the insulation system.

[0040] The present invention ensures the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the simulation model by obtaining and integrating multi-dimensional parameters such as the external cascading method, internal topological structure, converter device characteristics, and control strategy. The external cascading method clarifies the electrical connection relationship between multiple-level converters, the internal topological structure defines the circuit configuration, the control strategy determines the fundamental frequency and pulse width of the voltage waveform, and the converter device characteristics correct the on / off transient characteristics of the power devices, providing a solid physical basis for the simulation. By consulting the data manuals and magnetic core material libraries, Based on the circuit principle of the full-bridge LLC (L-network linked coupled inductor) topology, an equivalent circuit is built in a circuit simulation tool in the present invention, realizing the accurate mapping of the topology structure and the control strategy. By integrating the device characteristics into the simulation model, the present invention can accurately simulate the conduction voltage drop of the power device, the turn-off overshoot, and the saturation effect of the magnetic core, so as to obtain more realistic simulation results. By introducing simulation equations including Kirchhoff's law, device transient models, and magnetic core nonlinear models, the present invention realizes the refined simulation of the time-domain voltage waveforms at each port of the high-frequency transformer. Parameters such as the internal topology structure function and the nonlinear magnetic permeability in the simulation equations enable the simulation results to accurately reflect the working state of the actual circuit.

[0041] The present invention performs spectral analysis on the time-domain voltage waveforms obtained by simulation through the fast Fourier transform, efficiently extracting key spectral information such as the harmonic frequency range, fundamental frequency, harmonic amplitude, and phase. This method not only improves the analysis efficiency but also ensures the accuracy of the spectral information.

[0051] Current amplitude matching: The amplitude of the current excitation is derived from the load current in the simulation equation in step S12 (e.g., for a 10 kW converter, the full-load current is about 12.5 A, and the amplitude of the fundamental wave current is about 17.7 A), ensuring that the excitation current intensity is consistent with the actual working conditions.

[0052] Physical principle of parameters: Distributed resistance : Reflects the high-frequency skin effect of the litz wire. The higher the frequency, the smaller the skin depth ( is the angular frequency, is the copper conductivity), the effective conductive area decreases, and the resistance increases; Distributed inductance : Reflects the self - inductance of the Litz wire, the mutual inductance between turns, and the non - linear magnetic permeability of the iron core Resulting in the inductance frequency dependence (when magnetic saturation occurs, attenuation, and the inductance decreases synchronously).

[0055] For example: At 100kHz, the distributed capacitance between turns of the windings between the 1st layer and the 2nd layer is 22.3pF, and the distributed conductance is 1.5nS; the distributed resistance of the 1st turn of the Litz wire is 0.05Ω, and the distributed inductance is 120nH.

[0056] Based on the finite - element method, the present invention establishes an electrostatic field analysis model and a steady - state magnetic field analysis model for high - frequency transformers, focusing on the electric and magnetic field characteristics of the insulating medium and the conductor and the magnetic core respectively, and realizes a comprehensive analysis of the frequency - variable distributed parameters of high - frequency transformers. This multi - dimensional analysis model construction method ensures the accuracy and comprehensiveness of parameter extraction. During the model construction process, the present invention fully considers physical principles such as the frequency - variable dielectric constant and conductivity of insulating materials, the skin effect of Litz wires, and the non - linear magnetic permeability of iron cores, making the simulation results closer to the actual physical process.

[0057] Based on the spectral information extracted in step S13, the present invention applies a voltage excitation on the conductor surface that matches the spectral amplitude and applies a ground constraint to the reference node. This precisely matched setting of the conductor boundary conditions ensures the accuracy and reliability of the voltage excitation during the simulation process, providing a solid foundation for subsequent parameter extraction. By referring to the frequency-dependent dielectric spectra and conductivity data of the insulating material, the present invention inputs the permittivity and conductivity values at different frequencies into the simulation model, accurately reflecting the polarization ability and leakage current characteristics of the insulating material at different frequencies.

[0058] By inputting the set conductor boundary conditions and insulating material properties into the electrostatic field analysis model, the present invention successfully extracts the distributed capacitance and distributed conductance of the insulating material at different frequencies. These parameters respectively characterize the inter-turn / inter-layer electric field coupling and leakage current characteristics. At the same time, through the steady-state magnetic field analysis model, the present invention extracts the distributed resistance and distributed inductance of the Litz wire at different frequencies. These parameters reflect the high-frequency skin effect and magnetic field energy storage characteristics of the Litz wire. During the geometric model and mesh generation process, the present invention performs encrypted mesh processing on regions with large electric field gradients and large magnetic field gradients, ensuring the simulation accuracy. At the same time, by defining current excitation conditions that match the actual current spectrum, the present invention improves the efficiency and accuracy of magnetic field parameter extraction.

[0059] Based on the extracted distributed capacitance, distributed conductance, distributed resistance, and distributed inductance, the present invention constructs a frequency-dependent distributed parameter database for the high-frequency transformer. This database stores data in the dimension of "frequency - spatial position - parameter", realizing the structured management and efficient query of the frequency-dependent distributed parameters of the high-frequency transformer.

[0060] In addition, step S3 includes: Step S31: Discretize each turn of the winding of the high-frequency transformer into independent calculation units, define the unit numbers corresponding to each independent calculation unit in the high-voltage and low-voltage windings, and establish a geometric relationship mapping table between the units based on the unit numbers. The mapping table records the current path topology and the inter-turn / inter-layer geometric relationship including the inter-turn distance and the inter-layer insulation thickness; Step S32: Map the distributed capacitance and distributed conductance parameters of the insulating material to the admittance branches between the units that characterize the electric field coupling characteristics according to the inter-turn / inter-layer geometric relationship; map the distributed resistance and distributed inductance parameters of the Litz wire to the impedance branches in the units that characterize the magnetic field coupling characteristics according to the current path topology; the distributed inductance parameters include self-inductance and mutual inductance parameters between adjacent turns; Step S33: Take the two ends of each turn of the winding as independent nodes, connect impedance branches in series between adjacent nodes, realize magnetic field coupling between non-adjacent nodes through mutual inductance branches, and connect admittance branches in parallel between each node and the reference ground to form a chain node network of the high-voltage and low-voltage windings, completing the construction of the frequency-dependent distributed parameter equivalent circuit of the high-frequency transformer.

[0061] Furthermore, the distributed capacitance and distributed conductance parameters of the insulating material are mapped to the admittance branch that characterizes the electric field coupling characteristics between units according to the inter-turn / inter-layer geometric relationship. The specific expression is as follows: ; ; where, is the distributed capacitance, characterizing the frequency-varying capacitance between the i-th turn and the j-th turn of the winding; is the frequency-varying permittivity, characterizing the polarization ability of the insulating material at different frequencies f, reflecting the dynamic change of the electric field coupling strength with frequency, with the unit of F / m; is the coupling area, characterizing the effective area of the electric field overlap between the i-th turn and the j-th turn of the winding; is the dielectric thickness, characterizing the physical thickness of the insulating layer between the i-th turn and the j-th turn of the winding; is the distributed conductance, characterizing the frequency-varying conductance between the i-th turn and the j-th turn of the winding; is the frequency-varying conductivity, characterizing the leakage current characteristics of the insulating material at different frequencies f, reflecting the dynamic change of the dielectric loss with frequency, with the unit of S / m; The distributed resistance and distributed inductance parameters of the Litz wire are mapped to the impedance branch that characterizes the magnetic field coupling characteristics in the unit according to the current path topology.

[0062] Taking the high-frequency transformer of a 10kW full-bridge LLC converter as an example (20 turns on the primary side and 5 turns on the secondary side, using Litz wire windings), each turn on the primary side and each turn on the secondary side are divided into independent calculation units. Define the primary side unit number as , and the secondary side as , and clarify the correspondence relationship of "unit number → physical winding position" (e.g., corresponds to the innermost first turn on the primary side).

[0063] Measure and record the current path topology and turn - to - turn / layer - to - layer geometric parameters between units to form a two - dimensional table: Current path topology: The primary winding is wound in a clockwise spiral, and the current flows in from the head end and out from the tail end; The secondary winding is wound in a counter - clockwise spiral, and the current flows in from the head end and out from the tail end.

[0064] For unit pairs (such as ), combine the frequency - varying distributed capacitance extracted in step S23, the distributed conductance, and the geometric parameters in the mapping table, calculate through the above formula, and use the frequency - varying distributed capacitance and the distributed conductance as the admittance branch parameters to connect and the corresponding nodes to characterize the turn - to - turn electric - field coupling strength and leakage - current loss.

[0065] For a single unit (such as ), combine the frequency - varying distributed resistance extracted in step S25, the distributed inductance (including self - inductance and mutual inductance between adjacent turns), the current - path length, the number of adjacent coupled turns, calculate through the above formula, and use the frequency - varying distributed resistance and the distributed inductance as the impedance - branch parameters to connect in series between the head - end and tail - end nodes to characterize the high - frequency skin effect loss and magnetic - field energy - storage characteristics of the Litz wire.

[0066] Set the head - end and tail - end of each turn of the winding as independent nodes (such as the head - end is node and the tail - end is node ; the head - end is and the tail - end is , and so on), and establish a "unit → double - node" mapping relationship.

[0067] Branch - topology integration: Series impedance branch: Connect the impedance branches of the corresponding units in series between adjacent nodes (such as connect in series of , ; connect in series of , ); Mutual inductance branch connection: Magnetic field coupling is achieved between non - adjacent units through mutual inductance branches (such as and there is mutual inductance , then between () end) and () end), a mutual inductance branch is connected ); Admittance branch to ground: A shunt admittance branch is connected between each node and the reference ground (such as shunt - connected to ground , where , are the distributed capacitance and conductance between Figure 2 and ground). The frequency - dependent distributed parameter equivalent circuit of the constructed high - frequency transformer is as shown in

[0068] In the present invention, each turn of the winding of the high - frequency transformer is discretized into independent calculation units, and the number of each unit is defined, realizing a refined description of the internal structure of the transformer. This discretization method makes subsequent parameter mapping and circuit construction more accurate. Based on the unit numbers, a geometric relationship mapping table between units is established, recording the current path topology and the geometric relationship between turns / layers, providing a basis for subsequent parameter mapping. This mapping relationship ensures the accuracy and consistency of parameter mapping.

[0069] In the present invention, the distributed capacitance and distributed conductance parameters of the insulating material are mapped to the admittance branches representing the electric - field coupling characteristics between units according to the geometric relationship between turns / layers, and specific mathematical expressions are given. This mapping method accurately reflects the electric - field coupling strength and leakage - current characteristics of the insulation between turns / layers, providing key parameters for the construction of the circuit model. The distributed resistance and distributed inductance parameters of the Litz wire are mapped to the impedance branches representing the magnetic - field coupling characteristics in the unit according to the current - path topology, and specific mathematical expressions are also given. This mapping method takes into account the high - frequency skin effect and magnetic - field energy - storage characteristics of the Litz wire, making the circuit model closer to the actual physical process.

[0070] In the present invention, both ends of each turn of the winding are used as independent nodes, impedance branches are connected in series between adjacent nodes, magnetic - field coupling is achieved between non - adjacent nodes through mutual inductance branches, and a shunt admittance branch is connected between each node and the reference ground. This definition method of nodes and branches forms a chain - type node network for the high - and low - voltage windings, providing a structural basis for the construction of the circuit model. Through the integration of series impedance branches, mutual inductance - branch connections, and admittance branches to ground, a complete frequency - dependent distributed parameter equivalent circuit of the high - frequency transformer is constructed. This circuit model can accurately reflect the electrical characteristics of the high - frequency transformer at different frequencies, providing strong support for subsequent circuit simulation and analysis.

[0071] After that, step S4 includes: Step S41: Based on the number of nodes and branches in the constructed frequency-varying distributed parameter equivalent circuit, define the dimensions of the impedance branch matrix and the admittance branch matrix, and define variables including the node voltage vector, the impedance branch current vector, and the admittance branch current vector; Step S42: Based on the corresponding dimensions and variables defined for the impedance branches, integrate the frequency-varying parameters of all impedance branches in the frequency-varying distributed parameter equivalent circuit to form the impedance branch matrix; Step S43: Based on the corresponding dimensions and variables defined for the admittance branches, integrate the frequency-varying parameters of all admittance branches in the frequency-varying distributed parameter equivalent circuit to form the admittance branch matrix; Step S44: Define the incidence matrix that describes the connection relationship between the admittance branches / impedance branches and the nodes; Step S45: Through Kirchhoff's law, associate the incidence matrix, the impedance branch matrix, the admittance branch matrix with the node voltage vector to form the solution equation for the network node voltage in the frequency-varying distributed parameter equivalent circuit, and complete the construction of the general parametric model of the frequency-varying distributed parameter equivalent circuit.

[0072] Specifically, taking the example of "each of the high-voltage and low-voltage windings contains n = 2 units" (primary side , ; secondary side , ), define the matrix dimensions and variables according to the following rules: Number of nodes: For a single-winding with n units, it corresponds to n + 1 nodes (such as for the primary side , corresponding to nodes , , ), and for a double-winding, they share 1 reference ground node , so the total number of nodes is 2n + 2 = 6 (node list: , , , , , ).

[0077] The present invention establishes a systematic model framework in step S4 by defining the dimensions of the impedance branch matrix, the admittance branch matrix, and variables such as the node voltage vector, the impedance branch current vector, and the admittance branch current vector. This systematic model construction method enables the electrical characteristics of the high-frequency transformer to be accurately described in the form of a mathematical matrix, providing a basis for subsequent circuit analysis and optimization. By defining a unified matrix dimension and variable naming rules, step S4 ensures the consistency and comparability of high-frequency transformers of different specifications and types in model construction. This unified standard helps technicians share experience and exchange technology between different projects.

[0078] The present invention forms a complete impedance branch matrix in step S4 by integrating the frequency-dependent parameters of all impedance branches in the frequency-dependent distributed parameter equivalent circuit. The matrix can accurately reflect the resistance and inductance characteristics of the high-frequency transformer at different frequencies, and provides key parameters for circuit simulation and analysis. Similarly, by integrating the frequency-dependent parameters of all admittance branches, step S4 forms a complete admittance branch matrix. The matrix can accurately reflect the conductance and capacitance characteristics of the high-frequency transformer at different frequencies, and further improves the description of the circuit model.

[0079] Through defining the incidence matrix that describes the connection relationship between the admittance branch / impedance branch and the nodes, step S4 clarifies the topological relationship between each branch and the nodes in the circuit model. This way of defining the incidence matrix makes the structure of the circuit model clearer, facilitating circuit analysis and fault troubleshooting for technicians. By applying Kirchhoff's laws to associate the incidence matrix, impedance branch matrix, admittance branch matrix with the node voltage vector, step S4 forms a solution equation for a complete frequency-varying distributed parameter equivalent circuit.

[0082] Based on the method in step S1, the voltage waveforms V i (t) of different ports of the high-frequency transformer under the cascaded condition of the DC-DC isolation converter are obtained, where i is the port number of the high-frequency transformer. If the voltage is an ideal square wave with a period T (T = 1 / f s ), f s is the fundamental frequency of the voltage wave, D i is its duty cycle. Within each period, the amplitude of V i (t) is V i in the first D i T time, and the amplitude of V i (t) is -V i in the subsequent (1 - D iBy performing independent Fourier decomposition on the square wave of each port, the following can be obtained: (7) In the formula, ; , where k represents the kth harmonic.

[0083] The actual square wave has a finite rise time and fall time , and the waveform is closer to a trapezoidal wave. At this time, the Fourier coefficients need to be corrected, and according to the Shannon sampling theorem, the key parameters are truncated, where K is the truncation order ( , is the highest frequency of concern): (8) where is the phase shift (determined by timing control).

[0085] In the present invention, by performing Fourier decomposition on the obtained cascaded multi-port voltage waveforms, step S5 can accurately extract the amplitudes and phases of the harmonic components of the voltages of each port. This decomposition method enables complex periodic voltage waveforms to be decomposed into the superposition of a series of simple sine waves and cosine waves, facilitating subsequent analysis and processing. The extracted amplitude and phase information of the harmonic components provides technicians with a comprehensive understanding of the harmonic characteristics of the voltage waveforms, which helps to analyze the electrical performance of high-frequency transformers under different operating conditions.

[0086] Based on the effective frequency range of the parameters pre-stored in the extracted frequency-variable parameter database and combined with the frequency-variable dielectric characteristics set in the insulating material properties, step S5 can accurately determine the target frequency spectrum range.

By accurately determining the target frequency spectrum range, step S5 enables the frequency spectrum analysis to focus on the frequency range that has the greatest impact on the electrical characteristics of high-frequency transformers, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the analysis.

[0087] According to the target frequency spectrum range and the preset harmonic truncation accuracy threshold, step S5 can reasonably calculate the minimum truncation order K. This calculation method ensures that the error between the waveform after harmonic truncation and the original waveform is within an acceptable range, guaranteeing the accuracy of the analysis. By reasonably calculating the minimum truncation order K, step S5 avoids unnecessary harmonic calculations and analyses, optimizing the utilization efficiency of computing resources.

[0088] The present invention extracts the harmonic component spectra within the Kth order for each port and outputs a harmonic data set including frequency, amplitude, and phase. Step S5 realizes the comprehensive integration and output of key harmonic information. Such a data set provides rich data support for the subsequent construction of the network parametric model and simulation analysis. The output harmonic data set has traceability and reusability, facilitating data sharing and reuse among technicians in different projects, and improving work efficiency and data utilization rate.

[0089] For the kth harmonic component of each excitation port i, the present invention sets the excitation vector as an expression including frequency, amplitude, and phase. Step S5 realizes the accurate construction of the excitation vector. This construction method enables the excitation vector to accurately reflect the harmonic characteristics of the actual voltage waveform, providing accurate boundary conditions for the solution of the subsequent network parametric model. By precisely setting the boundary conditions, step S5 improves the accuracy of the solution of the network parametric model, making the simulation results closer to the actual electrical characteristics.

[0090] Aiming at the finite rise time and fall time of the actual square wave, step S5 effectively processes the non-ideal square wave by correcting the Fourier coefficients and truncating the key parameters according to the Shannon sampling theorem. This processing method makes the analysis closer to the actual working conditions and improves the practicability and reliability of the model.

[0092] In step S5, the square-wave excitation voltage of different port classes in Equation (9) is decomposed into sine excitations within a certain frequency spectrum. The sine voltages within the target frequency spectrum of all ports are applied to the parametric model at different frequencies respectively, and the nodal voltages in this state are calculated (single-frequency excitation). Finally, the superposition principle is used to solve the total response waveform.

[0093] The present invention proposes the following method for applying single-frequency excitation boundary conditions: Take the numbers of all excitation nodes, grounding nodes, and response nodes in the distributed parameter model to form sets d, g, and r. Delete all elements in the d-th row and d-th column and the g-th row and g-th column of the coefficient matrix M in Equation (6) of step four to form a new square matrix N of order (2n + 2 - numel(d) - numel(g)); After deleting the d-th and g-th elements from the d-th column of M, form a new column vector N of dimension (2n + 2 - numel(d) - numel(g)) d , to form a new equation: (10) where, U r is the original nodal voltage column vector U after deleting the known voltages U d and U g elements, consisting of all (2n + 2 - numel(d) - numel(g)) unknown nodal voltage values to be solved, that is, all voltages with the numbers of response node numbers r. Using Equation (10), the single-frequency excitation voltage boundary conditions of all ports can be applied to the distributed parameter network of the high-frequency transformer to solve the voltage values of all unknown response nodes.

[0094] Specifically, in combination with the 6-node chain equivalent circuit constructed in step S3 ( , , primary side with 2 turns + secondary side with 2 turns + shared reference ground), clarify the physical meanings and numbering rules of the three types of nodes: 1.

[0099] 2. Excitation Column Vector Extraction: The d-th column of the original coefficient matrix (the column corresponding to the excitation node), after deleting the first and second rows (the rows of the excitation node itself) and the sixth row (the row of the grounding node), form a new column vector with a dimension of 3×1.

[0100] 3. Reorganize the Solving Equation: In the original node voltage column vector , the voltage of the excitation node (determined by the fundamental / harmonic amplitude of the frequency domain data set in Step S13) and the grounding voltage are known quantities, and the remaining unknown quantity is the voltage of the response node (with a dimension of 3×1, corresponding to the voltages , , ). The final reorganized equation is: .

[0105] The present invention converts the single-frequency components in the extracted harmonic data set into frequency-domain complex voltage excitations. Step S6 realizes the conversion from the time domain to the frequency domain, providing convenience for subsequent frequency-domain analysis. By accurately applying the frequency-domain complex voltage excitations to the identified excitation nodes and grounding nodes, step S6 ensures that the excitation voltage can act on the circuit as expected, improving the accuracy of voltage response calculation.

[0106] The present invention inputs the frequency-domain complex voltage excitations into the solution equation of the frequency-varying distributed parameter equivalent circuit. Step S6 can efficiently calculate the frequency-domain voltage vectors of the response nodes. This calculation method avoids complex time-domain simulations and improves the calculation efficiency. By calculating the frequency-domain voltage vectors of the response nodes, step S6 can comprehensively obtain the voltage response amplitudes and phases of all nodes at this frequency, providing rich data support for subsequent insulation evaluation and design.

[0107] The single-frequency excitation boundary condition application method proposed by the present invention realizes the effective application of the single-frequency excitation voltage boundary condition by deleting specific elements in the coefficient matrix and forming a new equation. This method simplifies the calculation process and improves the solution efficiency. Using the new equation, step S6 can accurately solve the voltage values of all unknown response nodes, providing a key basis for subsequent voltage stress distribution analysis and insulation design.

[0108] The node voltage response under single-frequency excitation calculated in step S6 of the present invention provides basic data for subsequent solving the total response waveform using the superposition principle. This close connection ensures the coherence and accuracy of the entire analysis process. Through the node voltage response data obtained in step S6, technicians can further conduct insulation evaluation and design optimization to improve the insulation performance and reliability of high-frequency transformers.

[0109] Based on the constructed equivalent model of the high-frequency transformer and the method for applying different port excitations, the present invention finally realizes the analysis and calculation of the internal voltage stress under the important condition that there are excitations at all ports of the high-frequency transformer under cascade conditions, avoiding the limitation of only considering single-end excitation in traditional methods.

[0110] Step S7 includes: Based on the superposition principle, perform time-domain synthesis on the node frequency-domain voltage responses at all harmonic frequency components; According to the control strategy of the cascade topology, calibrate the initial phases of the excitations of each port to ensure that the time-domain voltage waveform is synchronized with the actual working conditions; After calibration, reorganize the time-domain voltages of all nodes according to the physical positions of the windings to form a map of the internal voltage stress distribution of the high-frequency transformer.

[0111] Specifically, select the main harmonic components (fundamental wave , 3rd harmonic , 5th harmonic ) of the frequency-domain data set in step S13, and for each node in the general parametric model in step S4 (such as the first-turn head node of the primary side , the first-turn tail node of the secondary side , etc.), synthesize the time-domain voltage according to the superposition principle, that is, the voltage distribution of each node under all harmonic components of the multi-port sinusoidal excitation in the target frequency band: (11) wherein, is the harmonic response amplitude of each node (node n) at frequency , which is derived from the analytical solution result in step S6, and its magnitude is directly related to the frequency-varying distribution parameters extracted in step S2 (such as the inter-turn distributed capacitance determines the electric field coupling strength. If increases, the harmonic amplitude will be amplified); is the harmonic response phase of node n at frequency , which is obtained by solving in step S6, and its phase difference reflects the perturbation of the device characteristics in the simulation equation. Based on Equation (11), the internal voltage stress distribution of the high-frequency transformer under the final cascade multi-port excitation condition can be obtained, which is used to evaluate the voltage borne by the insulation of the high-frequency transformer under the cascade condition of the DC-DC isolation converter, and provides a reference for the insulation design of the high-frequency transformer.

[0112] For example, fundamental wave , V, ; 3rd harmonic , V, ; 5th harmonic , V, ; the synthesized time-domain terminal voltage is: .

[0113] Taking the IPOS cascade topology as an example, combining the control strategy and the device characteristic parameters in the simulation equation, the phase calibration is implemented in two layers: Based on the control strategy of "input parallel synchronization, output series in-phase" of the IPOS cascade topology, calibrate the initial phases of the port excitations in two layers: 1. Phase reference anchoring of the control strategy: IPOS topology requirements: The PWM triggers of the two LLC converters on the primary side are strictly synchronized (phase difference ), ensuring input parallel voltage sharing; The output voltage phases of the two converters on the secondary side are superimposed (phase difference ), ensuring output series voltage boosting. From the control strategy in step S11, the PWM trigger moment corresponds to the initial phase (the duty cycle corresponds to the phase at the start moment of the pulse width), which is used as the phase reference for the excitation of all ports.

[0114] 2. Compensation for the inherent phase difference of the topology: In the full-bridge LLC topology, there is an inherent phase difference between the square wave output by the primary H-bridge and the rectified voltage on the secondary side (determined by the topology structure of "diagonal conduction logic + full-wave rectification"). It is necessary to compensate the phase of the synthesized waveform: The phase of the primary excitation nodes (such as , ) is maintained (matching the PWM trigger reference); The phase of the secondary response nodes (such as , ) is calibrated to (matching the voltage transfer phase characteristics of the topology).

[0115] For example, the initial phase of the synthesized voltage at the end node of the first turn on the secondary side is , and the phase difference with the primary excitation node meets the topology requirements, ensuring that the time-domain waveform is synchronized with the actual power flow direction.

[0116] Establish a mapping table of node number - winding physical position as shown in Table 1 (i.e., establish a mapping table of geometric relationships between units by unit number), and clarify the spatial coordinates of each node (taking 2 turns on the primary side and 2 turns on the secondary side as an example): Table 1: Mapping table of node number - winding physical position

[0117] Classify the calibrated node time-domain voltages (such as , , etc.) in the order of "radial layer → axial turn" of the mapping table, and render the voltage values in a two-dimensional coordinate system: Horizontal axis: Axial turn number (primary side first turn → primary side second turn → secondary side first turn → secondary side second turn); Vertical axis: Radial layer number (primary side layer / secondary side layer); Color coding: Red indicates the high-voltage area, and blue indicates the low-voltage area.

[0118] Calculate the turn-to-turn / layer-to-layer voltage difference and mark the insulation risk areas: Turn-to-turn voltage difference: For example, the voltage difference between the first turn ( ) and the second turn ( ) of the primary side ; Layer-to-layer voltage difference: For example, the voltage difference between the primary side layer ( ) and the secondary side layer ( ) .

[0119] If the voltage difference exceeds the tolerance threshold of the insulating material (such as the polyimide film has a withstand voltage of 2 kV), it is marked as the "high stress area", providing a reference for insulation design optimization (such as increasing the insulation thickness, replacing the corona-resistant material).

[0120] Based on the superposition principle, in step S7, the time-domain synthesis of the nodal frequency-domain voltage responses under all harmonic frequency components is performed. This method ensures that the contributions of all harmonic components to the voltage response are comprehensively considered, thus obtaining a time-domain voltage waveform closer to the actual working conditions. Through time-domain synthesis, step S7 can comprehensively describe the voltage response of the high-frequency transformer under different harmonic frequency components, providing complete voltage data support for subsequent insulation evaluation.

[0121] According to the control strategy of the cascaded topology, in step S7, the initial phases of the excitations at each port are calibrated. This calibration method ensures the synchronization of the time-domain voltage waveform with the actual working conditions, improving the accuracy and reliability of the simulation results. By accurately calibrating the initial phases, step S7 effectively eliminates the voltage response deviation caused by phase errors, making the simulation results closer to the actual electrical characteristics.

[0122] After calibration, in step S7, the time-domain voltages of all nodes are reorganized according to the physical positions of the windings, forming a voltage stress distribution map inside the high-frequency transformer. This map can visually display the voltage stress distribution of each node inside the high-frequency transformer, providing a clear basis for insulation evaluation for technicians. Through the voltage stress distribution map, technicians can accurately understand the insulation withstand situation of the high-frequency transformer under different working conditions, providing a strong reference for the insulation design of the high-frequency transformer.
