Constant gain bidirectional DC-DC resonant converter and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a constant gain bidirectional DC-DC resonant converter and a control method thereof. Both sides of a transformer of the resonant converter are identical in circuit structure and include a port, two resonant capacitors and anti-parallel auxiliary diodes thereof, a resonant inductor, an auxiliary inductor and two power switch tubes. The constant gain bidirectional DC-DC resonant converter disclosed by the invention is symmetrical in circuit structure and consistent in forward and reverse working performance. Under the control method designed by the invention, the zero voltage switching (ZVS) of all power switch tubes can be well achieved with the help of the auxiliary inductor, and the circulating current loss of the converter is reduced. Meanwhile, the constant voltage gain within the range from rated load to no load is realized at the same time, thereby being capable of playing a role of power limiting in the case of overload with the help of the auxiliary diodes. The natural bidirectional flow of energy in forward and reverse operation modes is realized, and the transmission efficiency and reliability of the converter are improved.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The converter has relatively prominent shortcomings. First, it is uncontrollable at no-load, and second, it requires a very high switching frequency to maintain the output voltage at light load. As the switching frequency becomes higher, the circulating current of the converter increases, and the output efficiency lower

The most common control strategy is frequency conversion control, that is, the voltage gain is adjusted by controlling the switching frequency. However, for LC series resonant converters, under frequency conversion control, the forward and reverse gain characteristics are inconsistent, which is not conducive to dynamic performance; there is another commonly used The control strategy is fixed-frequency phase-shift modulation on the primary side. However, under this control strategy, the maximum equivalent gain is 1, and the large phase-shift angle will cause serious circulation loss and lower transmission efficiency.
