Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power electronics, and in particular to a method for predicting the spectral amplitude envelope curve and inflection point of the spectral amplitude envelope curve of a conducted electromagnetic interference source in a soft-switching converter. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of power electronics technology and the upgrading of switching devices, the switching frequency and power density of power electronic devices are constantly increasing, leading to increasingly serious electromagnetic interference problems. The switching devices in power electronic converters generate high voltage and current change rates during operation. Nodes with high-frequency potential transitions in the circuit will generate common-mode conducted interference through parasitic capacitance to ground, while the switching component in the converter's input current will cause differential-mode conducted interference. This electromagnetic noise can be conducted through the device ports, polluting not only the power grid but also affecting the normal operation of other equipment in the system.

[0003] Interference sources, coupling paths, and affected sources together constitute the three essential elements of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems. The design and implementation of conducted EMC suppression measures mainly revolve around the interference source and the coupling path. The basic approaches include cutting off the coupling path and reducing interference source emissions, leading to various measures, among which EMI filters are the most widely used suppression method. When designing EMI filters, their insertion loss and cutoff frequency must be determined based on the noise spectrum and relevant EMC standards. Therefore, predicting the noise spectrum can aid in the design of conducted EMC suppression measures; furthermore, the prediction expression can reveal the relationship between the time-domain waveform and the noise spectrum, providing a basis for actively shaping the spectrum by adjusting time-domain characteristic parameters.

[0004] In power electronic converters, the changing drain-source voltage of the switching transistor is generally considered the primary source of conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise. In hard-switching converters, the drain-source voltage of the switching transistor can be approximated as a trapezoidal wave. However, for converters implementing soft switching, the switching transistor achieves zero-voltage or zero-current switching under resonance, and the rising and falling edges of its drain-source voltage waveform are approximated as sine waves. Due to the different time-domain waveforms, their corresponding spectral contents also differ. N. Oswald et al., in their paper "Analysis of Shaped Pulse Transitions in Power Electronic Switching Waveforms for Reduced EMI Generation" published in IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, Vol. 47, No. 5, pp. 2154-2165 in 2011, provided spectral prediction expressions for symmetrical conducted EMI noise sources in hard-switching and soft-switching converters, assuming that the rising and falling edges are symmetrical waveforms. However, in actual switching waveforms, due to differences in drive and the influence of parasitic parameters, the rising and falling edges are often asymmetrical, i.e., the rise time is not equal to the fall time. Currently, D. Han et al., in their article "Comparative Analysis on Conducted CMEMI Emission of Motor Drives: WBG Versus Si Devices" published in IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, Vol. 64, No. 10, pp. 8353-8363 in 2017, have provided a spectral prediction expression for the asymmetric conducted electromagnetic interference noise source of hard-switching converters. Compared to symmetrical trapezoidal waves, the asymmetric trapezoidal wave spectrum has an additional inflection point f. c Correspondingly, an additional frequency band decreases at a rate of -20dB to 40dB / dec is added. However, there are currently no literature reports on the prediction of the conducted electromagnetic interference noise source spectrum for asymmetric soft-switching converters. This makes it impossible to quickly and accurately predict the noise spectrum using analytical expressions when designing conducted EMI suppression schemes for soft-switching converters, hindering effective noise assessment and parameter optimization in the initial design phase. Summary of the Invention
