Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of DC-DC converter technology, specifically to a DC-DC boost converter for photovoltaic charging systems and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic charging systems based on parallel optimizers can not only reduce the carbon footprint of electric vehicles, but also have the following advantages: 1) They can accurately track the maximum power point of each module, achieve the maximum power output of the system under complex and variable lighting conditions, and shorten charging time; 2) They allow the mixed use of modules of different specifications and aging levels, and have flexible expansion capabilities; 3) They can realize module-level status monitoring, intelligent scheduling and rapid shutdown, which reduces operation and maintenance costs and improves system safety.
[0003] The photovoltaic interface converter is the core component of a parallel-type optimizer charging system. To achieve efficient, reliable, and economical operation of the charging system, it must meet the following performance requirements: 1) It must have extremely strong boost capability (more than 15 times) to match the output voltage of the photovoltaic modules (approximately 24-48V) and the voltage of the electric vehicle battery (400V-800V); 2) It must have sufficiently low voltage and current stress to reduce switching losses and conduction losses, improve charging efficiency, and shorten the investment payback period; 3) It must have a smaller number of components and achieve electrolytic capacitor-free operation to reduce device size, improve system reliability, and lower initial investment and maintenance costs.
[0004] In recent years, many scholars have proposed a large number of novel interleaved parallel high-gain converters. These converters have advantages such as low input current ripple, high voltage gain, and low power transistor current and voltage stress. However, they still have significant shortcomings: 1) Complex control is often required to achieve phase-to-phase inductor current sharing; 2) The number of devices is large, and some schemes also have voltage stress that changes abruptly with the duty cycle, requiring the use of high-voltage semiconductor devices, resulting in large conduction losses and high costs; 3) All power transistors operate in hard-switching mode, making it difficult to further improve the system conversion efficiency.
