[0001] This invention relates to the field of airborne aviation bidirectional power converter technology, specifically a high-voltage bidirectional power module based on DAB topology. Background Technology

[0002] As a key electronic conversion device, bidirectional power modules enable bidirectional energy flow and precise control between DC systems and have become a core component of modern energy systems. They are widely used in applications requiring bidirectional power transmission, such as energy storage and electric vehicles. However, existing bidirectional power modules require the parallel connection of multiple power devices for capacity expansion, resulting in high switching losses and device stress, making it difficult to meet the requirements of 1.5 times overload and twice short-circuit current for airborne applications. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-voltage bidirectional power supply module based on DAB topology to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-voltage bidirectional power supply module based on DAB topology, comprising an inductor, a transformer, and a control circuit. The primary side of the transformer is connected to a first full-bridge, and the secondary side of the transformer is connected to a second full-bridge. The first full-bridge consists of parallel power transistors S11, S12, S13, and S14, and the second full-bridge consists of parallel power transistors S21, S22, S23, and S24. When the output voltage of the first full-bridge exceeds the output voltage of the second full-bridge, power flows in the forward direction; when the output voltage of the first full-bridge lags behind the output voltage of the second full-bridge, power flows in the reverse direction. The turns ratio of the primary to the secondary side of the transformer is 2:1. The control circuit is connected to the gates of the power transistors of the first and second full-bridges, respectively. The control circuit uses a voltage-current dual closed-loop control to control the phase shift duty cycle between the primary first full-bridge and the secondary second full-bridge to achieve bidirectional power transmission for forward discharge and reverse charging.

[0005] Furthermore, the forward discharge power transmission controlled by the control circuit is a 500V-560V input voltage converted to a 270V output, and the reverse charging power transmission controlled by the control circuit is a 260V-280V input voltage with an output voltage of 540V.

[0006] Furthermore, the control circuit has a digital signal processor with a built-in triple phase-shift control algorithm to achieve phase-shift control and ZVS control of the full bridge of the primary and secondary sides of the transformer.

[0007] Furthermore, the digital signal processor is a TMS320F28335 processor.

[0008] Furthermore, the power transistors S11, S12, S13, S14, S21, S22, S23, and S24 are all SiC MOSFETs.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention adopts a DAB topology, a digital signal processor control circuit, and a parallel design of multiple SiC MOSFETs. It can realize phase shift control and ZVS control of the full bridge of the primary and secondary sides of the transformer without the need for expansion of multiple power modules in parallel.

[0012] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0013] Please refer to Figures 1-2, which provide a technical solution for this invention: a high-voltage bidirectional power supply module based on DAB topology, including an inductor 2, a transformer 3, and a control circuit 5. The primary side of the transformer 3 is connected to a first full-bridge 1, and the secondary side of the transformer 3 is connected to a second full-bridge 4. The first full-bridge 1 consists of parallel power transistors S11, S12, S13, and S14. The second full-bridge 4 consists of parallel power transistors S21, S22, S23, and S24. The first full-bridge 1 also has a capacitor C1 connected in parallel, and the second full-bridge 4 also has a capacitor C2 connected in parallel. The power transistors S11, S22, S23, and S24 are connected in parallel. Power transistors S12, S13, S14, S21, S22, S23, and S24 are all SiC MOSFETs. Power flows in the forward direction when the output voltage of the first full-bridge 1 exceeds the output voltage of the second full-bridge 4, and in the reverse direction when the output voltage of the first full-bridge 1 lags behind the output voltage of the second full-bridge 4. The primary to secondary turns ratio of transformer 3 is 2:1. To reduce the size of magnetic components, the switching frequency is set to 100kHz. The single high-voltage bidirectional power supply module is set to a power level of 10kW for the input and output voltage levels and the existing power transistor levels.

[0014] In this embodiment, the control circuit 5 is connected to the gates of the power transistors of the first full-bridge 1 and the second full-bridge 4 respectively. The control circuit 5 uses a voltage and current dual closed-loop control to control the phase shift duty cycle between the primary side first full-bridge 1 and the secondary side second full-bridge 4 to achieve bidirectional power transmission for forward discharge and reverse charging. The forward discharge power transmission controlled by the control circuit 5 is a 500V-560V input voltage converted to a 270V output, which meets the requirements of 1.5 times overload and twice the short-circuit current. The reverse charging power transmission controlled by the control circuit 5 is a 260V-280V input voltage and an output voltage of 540V. The control circuit 5 has a digital signal processor, which has a triple phase shift control algorithm embedded in it to realize the phase shift control and ZVS control of the primary and secondary full-bridges of the transformer 3. The digital signal processor is a TMS320F28335 processor.

[0015] It should be noted that control circuit 5 adopts a direct power control strategy to achieve voltage and current regulation. After obtaining an output power reference value, it combines a triple phase-shift control algorithm to obtain a set of phase-shift angles. This power reference value is generally the output of the voltage loop. In order to achieve short-circuit current limiting, a current loop also needs to be added. The output of the current loop is multiplied by the output voltage to obtain the output power reference value. This power reference value is calculated by the loop and is not the actual required power, so it is called virtual direct power control. In order to accelerate the dynamic response speed, power feedforward is added, which is the output current feedforward control. The actual output power and the output power of the current loop are used together as the input of the triple phase-shift control algorithm.

This high-voltage bidirectional power supply module based on DAB topology has a power density of no less than 3.5 kW / kg. The control circuit 5 features a TMS320F28335 digital signal processor, enabling the high-voltage bidirectional power supply module based on DAB topology to meet the comprehensive needs of analog signal acquisition, status signal acquisition, PWM wave output, fault reset, and other functions. It also expands to an external AD converter to achieve high-precision, multi-channel analog signal acquisition and uses high-speed linear optocouplers and operational amplifiers to achieve dynamic response.
