Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power electronics technology, and in particular relates to a trapezoidal current soft-switching method for interleaved parallel DC-DC converters. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of big data, AI, and cloud computing technologies, the demand for DC power supply in AI data centers and computing centers is constantly increasing. High-power DC-DC converters have become a research hotspot in various fields. As the "dual carbon" goals are implemented, high-power DC-DC converters are needed in large quantities in fields such as photovoltaic power generation and energy storage batteries.

[0003] Compared with traditional bidirectional DC-DC converters, multiphase interleaved parallel bidirectional DC-DC converters based on coupled inductors have advantages such as high conversion efficiency, high power density, large output current, and low output current ripple, making them more suitable for applications such as energy storage batteries, CPU / GPU power supplies, and UPS.

[0004] For the traditional delta inductor current modulation method, the peak and effective values ​​of the inductor current are relatively large, resulting in large copper losses and switching losses in the converter. In the continuous conduction mode, it is a hard switching operation, which has large switching losses, low efficiency, and serious electromagnetic interference. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a trapezoidal wave current soft-switching method for interleaved parallel DC-DC converters. By employing a trapezoidal wave instead of the traditional triangular wave modulation, the peak and effective values ​​of the inductor current are reduced while maintaining the same average inductor current, effectively improving conversion efficiency. Furthermore, this method enables soft switching, further reducing switching losses and electromagnetic interference, thus enhancing efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a trapezoidal wave current soft-switching method for an interleaved parallel DC-DC converter, applied to a two-phase interleaved parallel bidirectional DC-DC converter based on coupled inductors, including two two-quadrant chopper modules composed of upper and lower bridge arm switches; Including the following steps: Step 1: Sample the input voltage, output voltage, coupling inductor current, inductor current, and output current of the converter; Step 2: Calculate the average inductor current; Step 3: Establish the relationship between duty cycle and input voltage, output voltage, and average inductor current; Step 4: Calculate the duty cycle D under fixed switching frequency control. 1a and D 2bThis generates a three-mode level 2-1-0, which controls the inductor current based on an approximate trapezoidal wave under the approximate critical conduction mode, and alternately changes the duty cycle of the switching transistor. Step 5: Based on the average current value I avg The magnitude of the positive and negative values ​​determines the operating mode. Iavg>0 and Iavg<0 correspond to Buck mode and Boost mode, respectively. If the duty cycle is within the set threshold range, the inductor current of the converter is controlled by a constant switching frequency control method to form a trapezoidal waveform based on the near-critical conduction mode. The inductor current has positive and negative values ​​in each switching cycle, enabling all switches to achieve zero-voltage conduction. If the duty cycle exceeds the set threshold, a hybrid control method of variable switching frequency and variable duty cycle is used to control the inductor current of the converter to form a trapezoidal waveform based on the near-critical conduction mode. The inductor current has positive and negative values ​​in each switching cycle, enabling all switches to achieve zero-voltage conduction.

[0007] Furthermore, in the fixed switching frequency control and the mixed control of variable switching frequency and variable duty cycle, closed-loop control of the voltage and current of the converter and waveform control of the trapezoidal wave of the inductor current in the near critical conduction mode are adopted.

[0008] Furthermore, the duty cycle in the constant switching frequency control is calculated from the switching frequency, the average inductor current, the input voltage, and the output voltage. By using the relationship between the duty cycle and the average inductor current, the variable duty cycle control is finally achieved.

[0009] Furthermore, the switching frequency of the variable switching frequency and variable duty cycle hybrid control is calculated from the duty cycle, the average inductor current, the input voltage, and the output voltage. By using the relationship between the switching frequency and the average inductor current, the variable switching frequency and variable duty cycle hybrid control is finally achieved.

[0010] Furthermore, the two-phase interleaved parallel converter module based on coupled inductors is treated as one phase; applied to an N-phase interleaved parallel converter, where N≥2; including the following steps: Step 1: Sample the input voltage, output voltage, inductor current of each phase, and output current of the converter; Step 2: Calculate the average inductor current and the current imbalance in each phase; Step 3: Establish the relationship between duty cycle and input voltage, output voltage, and average inductor current; Step 4: Under fixed switching frequency control, calculate the duty cycle of each phase. The duty cycle of the k-th phase is D. ka and D kd This generates a three-mode 2-1-0 level, which controls the inductor current of each phase based on an approximate trapezoidal wave under the approximate critical conduction mode, and alternately changes the duty cycle of the switching transistor. Step 5: Based on the average current value Iavg The magnitude of the positive or negative value determines the selection of different working modes, I avg >0、I avg <0 corresponds to Buck mode and Boost mode, respectively. If the duty cycle is within the set threshold range, the inductor current of the converter is controlled by a constant switching frequency control method to form a trapezoidal waveform based on the near-critical conduction mode. The inductor current has positive and negative values ​​in each switching cycle, so that all switches achieve zero-voltage conduction. If the duty cycle exceeds the set threshold, a hybrid control of variable switching frequency and variable duty cycle is used to control the inductor current of the converter to form a trapezoidal waveform based on the near-critical conduction mode. The inductor current has positive and negative values ​​in each switching cycle, so that all switches achieve zero-voltage conduction. At the same time, current balancing control is performed on each phase.

[0011] Furthermore, in the two-phase interleaved parallel bidirectional DC-DC converter and the N-phase interleaved parallel converter based on coupled inductors, the upper bridge arm switch and the lower bridge arm switch are complementary in conduction, and a dead time is set between the upper bridge arm switch being turned off and the lower bridge arm switch being turned on, and between the upper bridge arm switch being turned on and the lower bridge arm switch being turned off. By utilizing the dead time during which the upper and lower bridge arm switches alternately conduct, the inductor-capacitor resonance effect discharges the parasitic capacitance of the switching transistor or the external resonant capacitor to zero, thereby achieving zero-voltage turn-on of all switching transistors.

[0012] Furthermore, within a 360° switching cycle, the upper bridge arm switches of the N interleaved parallel bidirectional DC-DC converters based on coupled inductors are turned on alternately, and the conduction phase difference between two adjacent modules is 360° / N.

[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting this technical solution are: This invention relates to a two-phase interleaved parallel bidirectional DC-DC converter based on coupled inductors and its multi-phase interleaved parallel converter. The inductor current employs a trapezoidal wave mode, enabling the converter to operate in near-critical conduction mode. A constant switching frequency control or hybrid control method is used, allowing operation in both Buck and Boost modes. Soft switching is achieved by utilizing the inductor-capacitor resonance during the dead time of the alternating conduction of the upper and lower bridge arm switches, causing the parasitic capacitance of the switching transistors or the external resonant capacitor to discharge to zero, thus achieving zero-voltage turn-on for all switches. Current sharing control is employed in the multi-phase interleaved parallel topology. This invention solves the problems of large current peaks and high turn-off losses in the traditional triangular wave current mode, reducing output ripple current. Simultaneously, the proposed soft-switching method reduces switching losses and improves the converter's conversion efficiency.

[0014] This invention utilizes an approximate critical conduction mode to achieve zero-voltage soft switching by forming a resonant circuit with parasitic capacitance or external capacitance and inductors in the circuit without the need for additional passive components. It is applied to a two-phase interleaved parallel bidirectional DC-DC converter topology based on coupled inductors. Its advantages are that it requires fewer components, has a simple circuit structure, and is small in size. It utilizes its reverse current to achieve zero-voltage switching of the power switching transistor.

[0015] This invention also proposes a trapezoidal inductor current control method, which is applied to a two-phase interleaved parallel bidirectional DC-DC converter topology based on coupled inductors. It can operate in Buck mode and Boost mode. Compared with the delta inductor current, the trapezoidal or approximately trapezoidal inductor current has a lower peak current and RMS value under the same average value, which can better reduce losses and reduce the ripple of the output current.

[0016] This invention combines constant switching frequency control with a hybrid control of variable switching frequency and variable duty cycle to maintain the reverse current and keep the circuit in a near-critical conduction mode, thereby achieving soft switching of all power switching transistors. This can significantly reduce switching losses, improve converter efficiency, and adapt to various load currents and output voltages.

[0017] This invention addresses the multiphase interleaved parallel topology of a two-phase interleaved parallel bidirectional DC-DC converter based on coupled inductors. On the basis of the trapezoidal current mode, it adds phase current equalization control, which facilitates current distribution, reduces losses, improves system power density and stability, and reduces output current ripple.

The phase difference between adjacent modules is 360° / N. Combined with phase current balancing control and phase offsetting, this results in ripple current subtraction, significantly reducing output ripple current and increasing current output capability.
