Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power electronic converter control technology, and in particular to a fast and seamless start-up control method and system for a dual active full-bridge DC-DC converter. Background Technology

[0002] Dual-active-bridge (DAB) DC-DC converters are widely used in modern power electronic systems due to their high power density, high efficiency, bidirectional power transfer capability, and electrical isolation characteristics. An efficient DAB DC-DC converter must meet four core requirements during startup: fast startup speed, transformerless DC bias, controllable peak current, and zero-voltage switching (ZVS) for all power switches. Existing research on the startup of DAB DC-DC converters has significant limitations: most schemes focus only on suppressing inrush current, lacking comprehensive analysis and classification, and lacking theoretical support for minimizing startup time; some studies simplify the secondary bridge arm to a diode rectifier bridge and use open-loop control with linearly increasing primary duty cycle, which cannot guarantee optimal startup performance; the selection of modulation strategies relies heavily on experience rather than theoretical derivation, easily leading to problems such as DC bias and excessive current stress during startup; a few closed-loop startup schemes have excessively long startup times when the output voltage is far below the reference value, and it is difficult to balance ZVS achievement and seamless transition to steady-state operation. In traditional startup methods, the fixed duty cycle control in constant frequency mode can cause DC bias and increased current stress in the inductor, while simply increasing the duty cycle can shorten the startup time but exacerbates these problems; under varying load conditions, heavy load will prolong the startup time, while light load can easily lead to voltage overshoot, making it impossible to achieve a balance between startup speed, current stress, and ZVS achievement. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an optimized method that can adapt to different operating modes, avoid DC bias, accurately control peak current, and achieve fast and seamless startup. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a fast and seamless start-up control method and system for a dual active full-bridge DC-DC converter, which achieves a fast, unbiased, and fully ZVS start-up process by optimizing the switching sequence and control parameters.

The circuit parameters include the input voltage, output voltage reference value, switching frequency, inductance value, transformer turns ratio, and output capacitor value. The control objectives include fast startup, no DC bias, inductor current peak limitation, and zero-voltage conduction of all switches.

[0006] Step 2: Traverse all possible start-up phase trajectories and solve the duration and control parameters of each phase based on the iterative algorithm. The control parameters are phase shift angle α, primary side duty cycle φ1, and secondary side duty cycle φ2.

[0007] Step 3: Select the starting mode according to the operating conditions: constant frequency mode CF has a fixed switching frequency of the rated value; variable frequency mode VF has an initial frequency of 1.2 to 1.5 times the rated frequency, and smoothly transitions to the rated frequency during the start-up process;

[0008] Step 4: During startup, control parameters are dynamically updated to meet current peak constraints and ZVS conditions in real time. When the output voltage reaches the preset threshold, it seamlessly switches to steady-state TPS modulation.
