Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Example 1 The first aspect of this invention proposes a dual active bridge frequency converter phase-shift control method based on boundary judgment adaptive control, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: This embodiment uses a 3kW dual active bridge converter applied to a DC microgrid interface as an example to illustrate the implementation process of the present invention in detail.

The key waveforms generated by the dual active bridge converter are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The diagram shows the switching signals S1-S8 and the corresponding inductor current waveforms. Key design parameters of this prototype are shown in Table 1. Table 1 Key design parameters of the prototype Step 1: Collect the operating data of the dual active bridge converter and determine the soft switching implementation status of the dual active bridge converter based on the operating data; Specifically, the primary and secondary voltages of the dual active bridge converter are acquired, the voltage sampling signals are preprocessed, and the data are averaged again using an RC low-pass filter and a DSP to obtain the primary voltage. and secondary voltage The real-time control parameters in the DSP are shifted relative to... and switching frequency Accessed from the control output. The turns ratio of the transformer in a dual active bridge converter. and inductance These are fixed parameters that are pre-written into the DSP.

[0018] Specifically, in this embodiment, the primary side voltage , .

[0019] Furthermore, the specific method for determining the soft-switching implementation status of the dual active bridge converter based on the operating data of the dual active bridge converter in step 1 is as follows: Calculate the turn-off current of the primary and secondary bridge arm switches based on the operating data of the dual active bridge converter; If the calculated turn-off current of the primary and secondary bridge arm switches is greater than zero, the soft-switching implementation state of the dual active bridge is achieved; otherwise, the soft-switching implementation state of the dual active bridge converter is lost.

[0020] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the turn-off current i1 of the primary side bridge arm switch is as follows: The formula for calculating the turn-off current i2 of the secondary bridge arm switch is: Where i1 is the current at the turn-off moment of the primary-side switch; i2 is the current at the turn-off moment of the secondary-side switch; U ab U is the primary voltage; cd denoted as secondary voltage; n is the turns ratio of the primary and secondary transformers; D is the shift ratio of the primary and secondary switching times; f is the switching frequency of the switching transistor; and L is the inductance value.

[0021] Step 2: If the soft switching implementation state of the dual active bridge converter is soft switching loss, calculate the shift ratio boundary value of the zero-voltage switching of the dual active bridge converter; Furthermore, the shift ratio boundary of the zero-voltage switch in step 2. The calculation formula is: Among them, U ab U is the voltage on the primary side. cd denoted as the secondary voltage, n as the turns ratio of the primary and secondary transformers, and D as the shift ratio at the switching time of the primary and secondary sides.

[0022] Step 3: Based on the boundary value of the shift ratio of the zero-voltage switch, perform boundary judgment, determine the adaptive control mode of the dual active bridge converter according to the boundary judgment result, and use a PI controller to switch the adaptive control mode of the dual active bridge converter.

[0023] Furthermore, the specific method for determining the adaptive control mode of the dual active bridge converter in step 3, based on the boundary value of the shift ratio of the zero-voltage switch, includes: Step 31: Shift ratio boundary value based on zero-voltage switch Calculate a dual active bridge converter with a fixed minimum frequency f. min The critical power that can achieve zero-voltage switching in constant-frequency phase-shift control mode ; Step 32: Set the preset power P of the dual active bridge converter to... ref With critical power For comparison, if the preset power P ref Greater than critical power Select the fixed-frequency phase-shift control mode; If the preset power P ref Less than or equal to critical power Select the fixed-phase-value frequency modulation control mode.

[0024] Furthermore, critical power The calculation formula is: Among them, U abU is the voltage on the primary side. cd Where is the voltage on the secondary side, n is the turns ratio of the primary and secondary transformers; D is the shift ratio at the switching time on the primary and secondary sides; f min To fix the minimum frequency.

[0025] Furthermore, the specific method for switching the adaptive control mode of the dual active bridge converter using a PI controller in step 3 includes: The PI controller is invoked based on the mode selection signal, and the PI controller generates a shift ratio. and switching frequency The control signal controls the switching transistors of the drive converter to complete the adaptive control mode switching.

[0026] Specifically, When the preset frequency is 40kHz and the preset power is 1kW, the input is a mode selection signal output by comparing the critical power calculated based on actual operation with 1kW. The input of the PI controller is the error between the current reference value and the actual current value. The current reference value is calculated from the preset power value and the actual voltage value. The PI controller selects one set of PI parameters for control based on the control selection signal output by the zero-voltage switching boundary calculation module. The parameters of the two sets of PI control have been tested separately, and the frequency and phase shift ratio output of the two sets of PI control are each set of fixed values, realizing the decoupling of the two control quantities. Finally, the PI controller outputs the control quantities D and f, which are the specific values ​​obtained from the adaptive control calculation. In this embodiment, the fixed frequency phase shift control mode uses a fixed 40kHz, and the phase shift ratio is greater than the boundary phase shift ratio. Range control. In the fixed-phase-value frequency modulation control mode, the fixed phase shift value is the boundary phase shift value. The frequency is controlled within the range of 40kHz to 150kHz. Finally, the specific control quantity is sent to the PWM generation module to generate a PWM wave that acts on the switching transistors of the dual active bridge to complete the control.

[0027] This embodiment effectively extends the zero-voltage switching range under different voltage ratios and load conditions. DC microgrids typically use a 400V bus voltage, while downstream electrical equipment commonly uses 48V. 36V and 60V are typical values ​​when the voltage deviates significantly. Under typical boundary conditions such as 400V to 36V and 400V to 60V, traditional single-phase-shift control results in the loss of soft switching on either the primary or secondary side. However, by adopting adaptive boundary control, the system re-achieves zero-voltage switching through automatic frequency adjustment.

[0028] Figure 4 This example demonstrates an efficiency comparison between adaptive control and traditional single-phase-shift control for a 400V input and a 1kW load. Figure 5This example demonstrates a comparison of the efficiency of adaptive control and traditional single-phase-shift control when the input is 400V and the load is 2kW. The curves represent the theoretical efficiency curves, while the points represent the measured efficiency points.

[0029] The adaptive control effectively prevented the sharp drop in efficiency caused by the loss of soft switching. Efficiency test results further confirmed that the proposed strategy is significantly effective under light load conditions: at 1kW, 400V to 30V, the peak efficiency was improved by 5.7%; in the non-zero voltage switching operating range, the system efficiency was generally improved by more than 1%. Overall, within a wide output voltage range of 28V to 60V, the average efficiency at 1kW and 2kW was improved by 1.95% and 1.2%, respectively, verifying the effectiveness and engineering practical value of the proposed control strategy.
