[0059] To address the technical problem of inaccurate reactor performance evaluation results in the prior art, this application provides a reactor performance evaluation device that can improve the accuracy of reactor performance evaluation results.

[0060] Please see Figure 1a and Figure 1b , Figure 1a This is one of the flowcharts illustrating a reactor performance evaluation method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1b This is a schematic diagram of a reactor performance evaluation method provided in an embodiment of this application. In one embodiment, the method includes:

[0061] S1. Build a semi-physical circuit simulation model, an electromagnetic simulation model, and a thermal simulation model.

[0062] The semi-physical circuit simulation model includes a target reactor; the target reactor includes, but is not limited to, DC reactors and AC reactors.

[0063] In one embodiment, the semi-physical circuit simulation model includes:

[0064] Simulation software is used to build the target simulation circuit and obtain the excitation signal of the target reactor. The target simulation circuit includes the target reactor.

[0065] A physical control board used to output control signals;

[0066] The host computer is used to configure the physical control board;

[0067] The signal transmission box is used to transmit control signals, sampling signals of the target simulation circuit, and to run the target simulation circuit.

[0068] In one embodiment, the signal transmission box includes a control core and an electrical core; wherein the control core is used to provide a channel for the transmission of the physical control board with the target control signal and the target sampling signal; and the electrical core is used to run the target simulation circuit.

[0069] Specifically, a control chip exists on the physical control board. The control core captures the pulse width modulation (PWM) signal emitted by the control chip. Then, the control core processes the PWM signal and transmits the processed PWM signal to the electrical core.

[0070] This application embodiment uses a bidirectional three-phase interleaved parallel DC-DC converter as an example for the target simulation circuit. For details, please refer to... Figure 1c , Figure 1c This application provides a circuit topology diagram for a bidirectional three-phase interleaved parallel DC-DC converter. The control core inputs the received PWM signal to the target simulation circuit to enable the electrical core to control the switching transistors in the target simulation circuit. Under the action of the PWM signal, the target reactor generates current and voltage. The control core collects the current and voltage in the target simulation circuit to enable the electrical core to run the simulation circuit and obtain the excitation signal required by the target reactor. The excitation signal can be an excitation voltage or an excitation current.

[0071] This application uses finite element analysis software capable of performing electromagnetic and thermal analysis as a simulation tool to build electromagnetic and thermal simulation models.

[0072] The electromagnetic analysis simulation specifically begins by drawing a three-dimensional structural model of the target reactor. Next, the transient solution field, excitation conditions, electromagnetic properties of the target reactor material, mesh type, maximum mesh element size, simulation step size, total simulation duration, and field data saving time nodes are set. In this embodiment, a semi-physical circuit simulation model is used to obtain the excitation signal, which is then used as the excitation condition. The electromagnetic properties of the target reactor material include, but are not limited to, the curves relating magnetic field strength to magnetic induction intensity (HB curve), the curves relating magnetic induction intensity to core loss (BP curve), winding conductivity, and core conductivity. The mesh type can be tetrahedral, hexahedral, or conformal. The maximum mesh element size can be set according to the material geometry, such as 1 / 10 of the maximum size of the geometric model. The simulation step size and field data saving time nodes are set based on the excitation signal. For example, the simulation step size can be set to 1 / 50 to 1 / 100 of the excitation signal period, and the field data saving time nodes can be set to 1 / 20 to 1 / 50 of the excitation signal period. The total simulation duration should be set to at least 3 to 5 complete cycles of the excitation signal. For example, if the frequency of the excitation signal is 1 kHz, then the period of the excitation signal is 1 ms, and the total simulation duration can be set to 3 ms to 5 ms. Of course, the total simulation duration can also be set to other multiples of the excitation signal period. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0073] The thermal analysis simulation specifically begins by drawing a three-dimensional structural model of the target reactor. This three-dimensional structural model is identical to the one used in the electromagnetic simulation model. Next, the steady-state solution field, material thermal properties of the target reactor, heat loss, mesh type, maximum mesh element size, ambient temperature, flow regime, radiation, number of iterations, and residual values ​​are set. The material thermal properties of the target reactor include, but are not limited to, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and surface emissivity. The ambient temperature can be the critical temperature for derating, such as 40°C. In this embodiment, the loss distribution obtained from the electromagnetic simulation is mapped to heat loss to obtain the heat loss required for the thermal simulation model.

[0074] S2. Simulate using a semi-physical circuit simulation model to obtain the excitation signal of the target reactor.

[0075] It should be noted that this application uses the semi-physical circuit simulation model built in the above embodiments to simulate and obtain the excitation signal of the target reactor.

[0076] It should be noted that the excitation signal of the target reactor differs from the excitation signal obtained under pure circuit simulation conditions. This is because the control signal of the semi-physical reactor is provided by the control board, while the control signal established by pure circuit simulation differs from the actual signal.

[0077] S3. Set the excitation signal as the excitation condition of the electromagnetic simulation model.

[0078] It should be noted that, in order to improve the accuracy of the reactor performance evaluation results, the excitation signal obtained from the semi-physical circuit simulation model in this embodiment is set as the excitation condition of the electromagnetic simulation model. Since this excitation signal can realistically reflect the actual operating conditions of the target reactor, the electromagnetic simulation results obtained through this excitation condition are more consistent with reality.

[0079] S4. Set the first material parameters of the target reactor as the first simulation condition of the electromagnetic simulation model.

[0080] The first material parameters include the winding resistivity, the permeability of the core material, the iron loss, and the second temperature information of the target reactor. The second temperature information will be described in detail in later embodiments of this application. It will not be repeated here.

[0081] In this embodiment of the application, the permeability and iron loss of the core material are obtained by consulting the specifications provided by the target reactor manufacturer. Here, iron loss refers to the core loss.

[0082] The formula for calculating winding resistivity is as follows:

[0083] ρ T =ρ1*[1+K 绕组 *(T-20)]

[0084] Where, ρ T ρt is the resistivity of the winding material at temperature T, ρ1 is the resistivity of the winding material at 20℃, and Kt is the resistivity of the winding material at 20℃. 绕组 This is the temperature coefficient.

[0085] It should be noted that K 绕组 The values ​​are shown in Table 1. Table 1 shows the temperature coefficient values ​​for different materials.

[0086] Material <![CDATA[ρ1(Ω·m)]]> <![CDATA[K 绕组 (℃-1)]]> silver <![CDATA[1.59×10 -8 ]]> <![CDATA[3.80×10 -3 ]]> copper <![CDATA[1.72×10 -8 ]]> <![CDATA[4.10×10 -3 ]]> aluminum <![CDATA[2.83×10 -8 ]]> <![CDATA[3.93×10 -3 ]]>

[0087] Table 1

[0088] S5. Based on the first simulation conditions and excitation conditions, use the electromagnetic simulation model to perform simulation and obtain the first performance evaluation parameters of the target reactor.

[0089] The first performance evaluation parameters include: the inductance of the target reactor, the magnetic flux density map of the target reactor, and the loss distribution of the target reactor. The loss distribution of the target reactor includes the winding loss and the core loss.

[0090] S6. Map the first performance evaluation parameters to thermal loss to obtain the thermal loss distribution data of the target reactor.

[0091] Specifically, in this embodiment of the application, the winding loss and core loss of the target reactor are mapped to the heat loss distribution data of the target reactor using thermal simulation software.

[0092] S7. Input the heat loss distribution data into the thermal simulation model and perform thermal simulation to obtain the first temperature information of the target reactor.

[0093] The first temperature information can be either the temperature distribution or the temperature value.

[0094] In one embodiment, when the first temperature information is a temperature distribution, specifically, heat loss distribution data is input into a thermal simulation model and thermal simulation is performed to obtain the temperature distribution of the target reactor. In the three-dimensional model of the target reactor, each corner point (also called a node) of a mesh cell corresponds to a temperature value. The temperature at any location within the cell is obtained by interpolating the node temperatures using a shape function. For example, in a hexahedral mesh cell, each of the eight nodes corresponds to a temperature value, and the temperature T at any point (x, y, z) within the cell is obtained by interpolating the shape function Ni with weighted node temperatures Ti.

[0095]

[0096] N i The value is 1 at node i and 0 at other nodes; in the linear hexahedral element, the temperature changes linearly within the element (gradient is constant).

[0097] The first temperature information is the three-dimensional temperature field obtained from thermal simulation, which is transmitted to the electromagnetic simulation model in mesh nodes as the basic unit. The temperature value of each mesh node participates in the material parameter update.

[0098] In the electromagnetic simulation model, temperature data is mapped to geometric topology: Each component (such as coil or magnetic core) in the electromagnetic simulation model receives the temperature field of the corresponding geometric region of the thermal simulation project. If the components are geometrically identical, the temperature field is accurately mapped according to the node coordinates; if there is an offset, the simulation platform automatically performs nearest neighbor interpolation.

[0099] In another embodiment, when the first temperature information is a single temperature value, this embodiment obtains the three-dimensional temperature field of the target reactor through thermal simulation, then extracts the maximum value from the three-dimensional temperature field and uses this maximum value as the first temperature information. Alternatively, this embodiment can extract the average temperature value of all grid nodes from the three-dimensional temperature field and use this average temperature value as the first temperature information.

[0100] S8. Determine the second performance evaluation parameters of the target reactor based on the first temperature information and the first material parameters.

[0101] The second performance evaluation parameters are used to evaluate the performance of the target reactor. These parameters include: the inductance of the target reactor, the magnetic flux density map of the target reactor, and the loss distribution of the target reactor.

[0102] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, the magnetic density cloud diagram of the target reactor is examined to ensure that the magnetic core of the target reactor has not experienced magnetic saturation.

[0103] This application provides a method for evaluating the performance of a reactor. The method includes: constructing a semi-physical circuit simulation model, an electromagnetic simulation model, and a thermal simulation model based on a target reactor; performing simulation using the semi-physical circuit simulation model to obtain an excitation signal for the target reactor; setting the excitation signal as an excitation condition for the electromagnetic simulation model; setting a first material parameter of the target reactor as a first simulation condition for the electromagnetic simulation model; performing simulation using the electromagnetic simulation model based on the first simulation condition and the excitation condition to obtain a first performance evaluation parameter for the target reactor; mapping the first performance evaluation parameter to thermal loss to obtain thermal loss distribution data for the target reactor; inputting the thermal loss distribution data into the thermal simulation model and performing thermal simulation to obtain first temperature information for the target reactor; and determining a second performance evaluation parameter for the target reactor based on the first temperature information and the first material parameter, wherein the second performance evaluation parameter is used to evaluate the performance of the target reactor. Therefore, this application uses a semi-physical circuit simulation model to obtain the excitation signal of the target reactor; sets the first material parameter of the target reactor as the first simulation condition of the electromagnetic simulation model, and performs simulation based on the first simulation condition and the excitation condition to obtain the first performance evaluation parameter of the target reactor. Then, the first performance evaluation parameter is mapped to heat loss to obtain the heat loss distribution data of the target reactor; the second performance evaluation parameter of the target reactor is determined based on the first temperature information and the first material parameter. The performance of the target reactor is evaluated using the second performance evaluation parameter. Thus, the excitation signal of the target reactor is obtained through semi-physical circuit simulation. Therefore, this excitation signal can truly reflect the actual operating conditions of the target reactor, thereby improving the accuracy of the reactor performance evaluation results.

[0104] Please see Figure 2a , Figure 2a This is a second schematic flowchart illustrating a reactor performance evaluation method provided in an embodiment of this application. In one embodiment, the first material parameter includes the second temperature information of the target reactor. Determining the second performance evaluation parameter of the target reactor based on the first temperature information and the first material parameter includes:

[0105] S201. Determine whether the performance evaluation parameters of the target reactor have been extracted based on the first temperature information and the second temperature information; if yes, proceed to S202; otherwise, proceed to S203-S205.

[0106] In one embodiment, determining whether the performance evaluation parameters of the target reactor have been extracted based on the first temperature information and the second temperature information includes:

[0107] S2011. Calculate the difference between the first temperature information and the second temperature information.

[0108] The second temperature information can be either temperature distribution or temperature value.

[0109] When both the first and second temperature information are temperature distributions, the temperature difference corresponding to the same grid nodes in the two temperature distributions is calculated to obtain multiple temperature difference values. For example, if the first temperature information includes temperature value a1 of grid node A and temperature value b1 of grid node B, and the second temperature information includes temperature value a2 of grid node A and temperature value b2 of grid node B, then the difference between the first and second temperature information is a1-a2 and b1-b2.

[0110] When the first temperature information and the second temperature information are temperature values, the difference between the first temperature information and the second temperature information is the difference between the two temperature values. For example, if the first temperature information is 80℃ and the second temperature information is 66℃, then the difference is 14℃.

[0111] S2012. Determine whether the performance evaluation parameters of the target reactor have been extracted based on the difference.

[0112] Specifically, the process involves determining whether the difference is within a preset range. If so, the extraction of performance evaluation parameters for the target reactor is complete. If not, the extraction of performance evaluation parameters for the target reactor is incomplete. The preset range is set by the applicant based on experience. It should be noted that the closer the first temperature information is to the second temperature information, the higher the accuracy of the extracted performance evaluation parameters for the target reactor. The preset range can be set to 0-1℃. Of course, the preset range can also be set to other numerical ranges. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0113] S202, Use the first performance evaluation parameter as the second performance evaluation parameter.

[0114] When the difference is within the preset range, the performance evaluation parameters of the target reactor are extracted. At this point, the first performance evaluation parameter is used as the second performance evaluation parameter.

[0115] S203. Correct the first material parameters based on the first temperature information to obtain the second material parameters;

[0116] If the difference is outside the preset range, the extraction of performance evaluation parameters for the target reactor is incomplete. In this case, the first material parameters need to be corrected based on the first temperature information, and the simulation needs to be repeated. Specifically, the winding resistivity, core material permeability, and iron loss of the target reactor are modified based on the first temperature information to obtain new winding resistivity, core material permeability, and iron loss for the target reactor. The second material parameters are the same as the first material parameters. This will not be elaborated upon further in this application.

[0117] S204. Set the second material parameter as the second simulation condition of the electromagnetic simulation model;

[0118] It should be noted that S204 is the same as or similar to S6. This application will not elaborate further on this point.

[0119] S205. Based on the second simulation conditions and excitation conditions, use the electromagnetic simulation model to perform simulation and obtain the second performance evaluation parameters.

[0120] It should be noted that S205 is the same as or similar to S7, and the second performance evaluation parameter is the same as the first performance evaluation parameter. This application will not elaborate further on this.

[0121] It should be noted that S203-S205 can be executed once or multiple times. When it is determined that the performance evaluation parameters of the target reactor have not been fully extracted, this embodiment of the application repeats S203-S205 to ensure that the performance evaluation parameters of the target reactor are fully extracted. At this time, the performance evaluation parameters obtained from the electromagnetic simulation model are the second performance evaluation parameters.

[0122] Please see Figure 2b , Figure 2b This is a schematic diagram illustrating the framework of a reactor performance evaluation method provided in this application embodiment. A semi-physical circuit simulation provides current data for the target reactor and uses this current data as the excitation condition in the electromagnetic simulation. After the electromagnetic simulation, the inductance, magnetic flux density map, and loss distribution of the target reactor are generated. The loss distribution is then thermally mapped to generate the thermal loss data required for thermal simulation. The thermal simulation model performs thermal simulation based on the thermal loss data to obtain the temperature information of the target reactor. The thermal simulation model then feeds the temperature information back to the electromagnetic simulation model and performs the electromagnetic simulation again. When the difference between the temperature information of the target reactor generated by the thermal simulation and the temperature information of the target reactor in the electromagnetic simulation is within a preset range, the electromagnetic and thermal simulations end. At this point, the inductance, magnetic flux density map, and loss distribution of the target reactor generated by the final electromagnetic simulation by the electromagnetic simulation model are used to evaluate the performance of the target reactor.

[0123] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a process for obtaining an excitation signal for a reactor, provided as an embodiment of this application. In one embodiment, the step of using the semi-physical circuit simulation model to perform simulation and obtain the excitation signal for the target reactor includes:

[0124] 301. Set up the physical control board via the host computer to generate the target control signal.

[0125] In this embodiment, the physical control board is controlled by debugging software on a host computer. Specifically, the host computer sets the communication parameters or operating mode of the physical control board. For example, the serial communication baud rate of the physical control board is set to 115200bps. The physical control board generates a target control signal based on the settings of the host computer. This target control signal is a PWM signal.

[0126] 302. Control the target simulation circuit according to the target control signal.

[0127] Please see Figure 1b The signal transmission box acquires the PWM signal from the physical control board. It should be noted that the sampling step size of the signal transmission box should be minimized as much as possible to ensure that the PWM signal acquired by the signal transmission box is consistent with the PWM signal emitted by the physical control board, thereby ensuring high accuracy of the excitation signal of the target reactor.

[0128] The signal transmission box inputs the PWM signal to the target simulation circuit to control the switching transistors in the target simulation circuit.

[0129] 303. Acquire the target sampling signal of the target simulation circuit.

[0130] The target sampling signals include current signals and voltage signals.

[0131] 304. Input the target sampling signal to the physical control board.

[0132] The signal transmission box inputs the collected current and voltage signals to the physical control board.

[0133] 305. Adjust the target control signal through the physical control board according to the target sampling signal so that the target sampling signal meets the actual working conditions.

[0134] The physical control board adjusts the duty cycle of the target control signal based on the current and voltage signals, so that the target simulation circuit outputs the required excitation signal.

[0135] 306. Collect the excitation signal of the target reactor by ensuring that the output voltage and current of the target simulation circuit meet the requirements of the actual working conditions.

[0136] It should be noted that S303-S305 can be executed once or multiple times. When the target control signal cannot make the target reactor output a stable excitation signal, the physical control board needs to modulate the duty cycle of the target control signal according to the target sampling signal to obtain a new target control signal. The new target control signal then controls the target simulation circuit so that the excitation signal collected by the signal transmission box is a stable excitation signal.
