Background
Energy transmission between different voltage levels can be realized by adopting a direct current-direct current (DAB) topological structure with an isolation type. The double-active full-bridge DC-DC converter has the advantages of high power density, wide input and output voltage range, symmetrical structure, small voltage and current stress of a switching device and the like as a high-efficiency DC converter, and is applied to various medium and high power occasions in a DC micro-grid system and an energy storage system. The dual-active full-bridge DC-DC converter has three controllable variables, and according to the combination condition of the three variables, three control methods are generally available: traditional single phase shift control, double phase shift control and triple phase shift control.
The traditional single phase-shift control or simply single phase-shift control is the simplest control mode, the primary and secondary H bridge switching devices of the transformer are conducted according to 50% duty ratio, and the magnitude and direction of transmission power are adjusted by controlling the phase shift angle between two H bridges. The control strategy is simple, the dynamic response is quick, but large backflow power exists, and the efficiency of the converter is low.
At the moment, the two bridge type power conversion units on the two sides of the transformer are both conducted at a duty ratio of 50%, and the magnitude and the direction of transmission power are adjusted by controlling a phase shift angle between the two bridge type power conversion units. The control mode is simple to operate, soft switching is easy to realize under heavy-load operation, switching loss is reduced, and switching frequency and overall efficiency of the converter are improved; however, when the input and output voltages are not matched, the converter is difficult to realize soft switching during light-load operation, loop current in the converter is high, circulating energy exists, circulating current loss is increased, and the efficiency of the converter is reduced.
On the basis of the traditional single phase-shift control, the double phase-shift control is added with a phase shift angle in an H bridge at a high-voltage side or a low-voltage side on the basis of the single phase-shift control, compared with the single phase-shift control, the degree of freedom is increased, the effective value of the inductive current can be effectively reduced, and the reflux power of the converter can be reduced.
Compared with the traditional single phase-shift control, the method increases a degree of freedom, thereby increasing an optimization target, effectively reducing the effective value of the inductive current and reducing the backflow power of the converter. However, the control mode cannot realize soft switching in a full load range, so that the circulation loss is increased, the control system is difficult to realize, asymmetry exists, and the dynamic performance of the system is poor.
The triple phase shift control is to control three controllable variables simultaneously, and besides controlling the phase shift angle between two bridge type power conversion units to adjust the magnitude and direction of transmission power, the triple phase shift control also has two controllable variables, so that two optimization targets can be realized. The control mode can better realize the reduction of the inductive current peak value, the effective value and the circulating current power of the converter, and has obvious advantages for improving the system efficiency. However, the control method cannot realize soft switching in a full load range, so that the circulating current loss is increased, and the converter has more working modes and a corresponding control system is more complicated.
Triple phase shift control increases phase shift angle in the H bridge on two sides simultaneously, realizes more accurate control, better realizes reducing the inductive current peak value, effective value and circulation power of the converter, and has obvious advantage for improving system efficiency.
In order to improve the working efficiency of the converter under light load, a method for improving the circuit topology of the double-active full-bridge DC-DC converter is also provided.
The attention focus of the existing DAB converter is focused on optimizing the conversion efficiency and the dynamic characteristic of the converter, the realization of multiple phase-shifting control and soft switching is a means for improving the conversion efficiency, and the dynamic characteristic particularly focuses on the current impact problem in the starting process.
The internal shift ratio of the double phase shift and the triple phase shift control needs to be calculated in real time according to the load condition, so that the DAB circulating current power is reduced, the efficiency of the converter is improved, and the internal shift ratio becomes the key content of DAB research.
Meanwhile, the soft switching implementation of the DAB circuit is another research hotspot. Under ideal conditions, when the DAB circuit is in a matching state and single phase-shift control is adopted, all the switching tubes work in ZVS (zero voltage switching) on and hard off states, and all the diodes work in ZCS (zero voltage switching) off states.
In fact, the polarity inversion of the H-bridge output voltage caused by the multiple phase shift control and the dead zone effect may destroy the soft switching characteristics of the DAB circuit. Therefore, an optimal control strategy or circuit improvement must be performed.
Although the single-phase-shift, double-phase-shift and triple-phase-shift control strategies can stabilize the DAB output in most load ranges, the starting process and the light-load working condition still have a larger improvement space.
The output end of the DAB circuit is usually connected with a filter capacitor, and a starting transient output capacitor can be regarded as a short circuit to cause a larger starting transient impact current which is more prominent in high-voltage and high-power occasions.
In the invention application of ' a control method of a double-active-bridge direct-current converter with a soft start function ', which is published under the number of CN108880264A and is an invention of the university of the applicant's artificial fertilizer combination industry, a soft start control strategy is provided, and the slow rise of the equivalent input voltage of a DAB circuit and the reduction of start impact current are realized by simultaneously and linearly increasing the conduction duty ratio D of an original secondary side H bridge. However, the disadvantages of this method are as follows: 1) the minimum conduction duty ratio of the IGBT causes the minimum output voltage of the primary side H bridge, and the method cannot realize real zero-impact current starting; 2) the control strategy ignores the influence of dead zone effects; 3) the control strategy is clearly divided into two phases, and the smoothness of the switching between the phases is not enough.
The dead zone of the switching tube is usually not considered in the phase-shift control mathematical model, and when the dead zone of the switching tube is large, the mathematical model has deviation.
The DAB circuit dead time is assumed to be: MT (multiple terminal)hs
Wherein, ThsIs half the switching period, and M is the equivalent duty cycle of the dead time in half the switching period.
Under ideal conditions:
M=0 (1)
the transmission power P controlled by single phase shift is H-bridge phase shift duty ratio D2(or phase shift time D2Ths) Is a function of the equation.
Please refer to the transmission power curve shown in fig. 1. Where the ordinate P is the per unit value of the transmission power P and the abscissa D2 is the phase-shifted duty cycle.
Under ideal condition, M is 0, and the per unit value p of transmission power is at phase-shifting duty ratio D2Taking the maximum value of 1 when the value is 0.5; duty cycle of phase shiftD2When 0, the transmission power is 0.
After the dead zone effect is considered, the power transmission mathematical model has larger deviation, phase drift and phase shift ratio D between two H bridges2At 0, there is still power transmission, and p varies with M, as shown by the dashed line in fig. 1.
Fig. 1 is a relationship curve among transmission power, outward shift ratio D2 and dead time ratio M when the DAB circuit adopts single phase shift control.
In the figure, P is the per unit value of the transmission power P. Ideally, the dead time is not present, M is 0, and p is in D2Taking the maximum value of 1 when the value is 0.5; d2When 0, the transmission power is 0, and the whole power transmission curve is about D20.5 symmetry.
After the dead zone effect is considered, the power transmission mathematical model has larger deviation, phase drift and external shift phase ratio D between the two H bridges2At 0, there is still power transmission (corresponding to D in FIG. 1)2Where p is not equal to 0), and p varies with M, as shown by the dashed line in fig. 1. As a result, the output voltage of the DAB circuit is too high during light load, and the voltage stabilization control cannot be performed.

Wherein, VH1And VH2The two-way transmission and storage of energy of the double-active full-bridge DC-DC converter, namely the DAB circuit, are mainly dependent on an equivalent inductor L for the equivalent output voltage of the primary and secondary side H1 and H2 bridgesr。
Applied to the inductor LrThe voltages on are as follows:

Referring to fig. 3(b), the control process of the present invention is described in detail as follows:
step S31, start phase
In a first PWM period, the conduction duty ratio D of a switching tube is 0.5, the internal shift ratio D1 of a primary side H bridge H1 is 1, the external shift ratio D2 between the primary side H bridge and a secondary side H bridge is 0, and the internal shift ratio D3 of the secondary side H bridge H2 is 1; the input voltage is V1, the inward shift ratio D1 of the input side H bridge H1 is 1, the switching tubes S1 and S3 are simultaneously conducted, the switching tubes S2 and S4 are simultaneously conducted, and the output voltage VH1 of the primary side H bridge H1 is fixed to 0; output voltage of V2Since the output side H-bridge H2 moves inward to 1 compared to D3, the switching tubes S5 and S7 are simultaneously turned on, and the switching tubes S6 and S8 are simultaneously turned on, the output voltage VH2 of the secondary side H2 is also 0; the circuit implementation starts from zero output voltage.
This step is implemented by the setting unit 61 in the control device given in correspondence with fig. 6.
Step S32, outputting the reference voltage V2 *Increasing, and regulating output duty ratio to be D through proportional-integral regulation (PI regulation for short)PAccording to the output duty ratio DPThe converter can selectively work in the following two working conditions. In the step S331, the first step is executed,
when 0 is present<DP<1, the DAB circuit works in a first working condition of a light load mode.
At this time, the on duty ratio D of the switching tube is set to 0.5, and the primary side H bridge H1 is shifted inward by 1-D compared with D1PThe external shift phase ratio D2 between the original H bridge and the secondary H bridge is 0, and the internal shift phase ratio D3 of the secondary H bridge H2 is 1-DP(ii) a When the dead zone is ignored, the switch tubes S1, S4, S2 and S3 are simultaneously conducted for DPThs, the voltage VH1 output by the primary side H bridge H1 is changed into positive and negative pulse waves with the pulse width DPThs, amplitude ± V1; the primary equivalent output voltage VH1 is subjected to energy transmission through an inductor Lr, the inductor current iLr is gradually increased from 0, the waveform of the output voltage VH2 of the secondary H-bridge H2 is the same as that of VH1, and the output voltage V is2And continuously rising until the circuit is balanced.
Fig. 4 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between the light-load mode driving and the output voltage waveform.
In a step S332, the process is executed,
when 1 is<DP<1.5, the DAB circuit works in the working condition two of the normal mode.
At this time, as the transmission power is continuously increased, the output duty ratio D is regulated by the PIPThe conduction duty ratio D of the switching tube is 0.5, and the outward shift ratio D2 between the primary and secondary H bridges is D P1, when the output voltage V is achieved by adjusting D22The stability of (2). At the moment, the converter can selectively work in the traditional single phase-shifting control, the traditional extended phase-shifting control, the traditional double phase-shifting control and the traditional triple phase-shifting control, and the internal shift ratio of the primary side H bridge is expressed as D1-DOPT1And D3 ═ DOPT3。

Step S34, generating control pulses of primary side H1 bridge switching tubes S1, S2, S3 and S4 and secondary side H2 bridge switching tubes S5, S6, S7 and S8 according to the generated D, D1, D2 and D3;
the above steps are implemented by the PWM generating unit 63 in the control device given with respect to fig. 6.
Step S35, waiting for the next interrupt time (note: the whole PWM pulse control program is usually placed in the timing interrupt program or PWM interrupt program of the micro-processing, the control program periodically runs at regular time, and when the program runs, the next interrupt trigger is waited to run again);
step S36, judging whether an external shutdown instruction is received or a fault protection is triggered to shut down, if the shutdown instruction is not received, turning to step S32 to continue to perform voltage stabilization control;
step S37, if the shutdown request is received in step S36, the whole process is ended.
The above steps are implemented by the timing control and protection unit 64 given in correspondence with fig. 6.
It should be noted that the normal mode DAB circuit can selectively work in single phase shift, extended phase shift, double phase shift and triple phase shift control modes, and is consistent with a conventional control strategy.
If single phase shift control is adopted, the original and secondary bridges H1 and H2 on both sides do not adopt internal phase shift, D1=0,D3=0;
If the extended phase shift control is adopted, the high-pressure side adopts the internal phase shift, and the low-pressure side does not have the internal phase shift, namely D1=DOPT1,D30 (or D)1=0,D3=DOPT3,DOPTFor the calculated optimized interpolation ratio);
if a dual phase-shift control strategy is adopted, D1=DOPT1,D3=DOPT3(DOPT1=DOPT3) (ii) a If triple phase shift control is employed, D1=DOPT1,D3=DOPT3;
The four control strategies mentioned above, summarized as D1=DOPT1,D3=DOPT3。
In summary, the invention provides a method for controlling soft start and light load mode of a dual-active full-bridge DC-DC converter (DAB), which adopts a PI to regulate the voltage stabilization of the output voltage, flexibly selects the working mode according to the range of the PI regulated output, and realizes the soft start and the voltage stabilization in the full load range of the DAB circuit.
