Soft switching in-phase buck-boost converter based on coupling inductor and control method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of switching power supplies, in particular to a soft switching in-phase buck-boost converter based on coupling inductors and a control method.
Background
In recent years, DC-DC converters have been widely used in various fields, particularly in various power supply systems including high-voltage direct-current power transmission including energy storage units, micro-grids, electric vehicles, and the like. With the increasing requirements for energy conversion in the field of power electronics, converters are gradually developing toward higher frequencies, higher efficiencies, and higher power densities. There are many applications today that require a constant output voltage even if the input or load changes, such as portable devices and automotive electronics that use batteries as a power source, requiring a buck/boost converter to handle the change in input and produce a stable output voltage. DC/DC converters, however, are classified into two broad types, isolated and non-isolated, and non-isolated converters are preferred for such applications due to the size and space constraints and better rejection of common mode interference.
Due to the simple structure and the wide voltage range conversion capability, the in-phase buck-boost converter (NIBBC) is widely applied to the fields of renewable energy development, energy storage equipment, even basic power converter module integration and the like. To simplify the control of the NIBBC, the two switches are usually switched synchronously, in which case the NIBBC has two control variables, including the two duty cycles of the two sets of switches. This control is easy to implement, but the converter efficiency is reduced because there are always two switches operating under hard switching. To reduce switching losses, the zero voltage switching technique of NIBBC has been extensively studied. These methods can be broadly classified into no auxiliary circuit and auxiliary circuit according to the type of auxiliary device.
The non-auxiliary circuit NIBBC mainly adopts a Triangular Current Mode (TCM) operation and a corresponding modulation mode, and provides a soft switching condition for the NIBBC without adding additional auxiliary equipment. However, the transmission delay and dead time of the comparator can lead to unpredictable output voltage ripple, resulting in converter failure. Ripple interference can be eliminated through a mode conversion technology of duty cycle lock control. However, this complicates the control of the inverter and reduces the reliability of the device.
To achieve all soft switching conditions for NIBBC, simplifying the control strategy, auxiliary circuitry may be added. The zero voltage is achieved using an auxiliary circuit consisting of an inductor, an auxiliary switch and a power diode. Although the volume of the auxiliary circuit is reduced, additional control methods and driving circuits are still required. Documents (y.zhang, x.cheng and c.yin, "a soft-switching non-inverting buck-boost converter with inductance and performance improvement," in IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, vol.34, No.12, pp.11526-11530, dec.2019) propose a coupled inductor auxiliary circuit, which uses magnetic coupling effect to generate auxiliary current to achieve zero voltage, and can adjust soft switching range by adjusting auxiliary current. However, this solution adds a larger number of auxiliary devices, reducing the power density of the device and also increasing the corresponding device losses.
