    查看更多>>摘要:Abstract Hybridized vehicular power supply (HVPS) are acquiring widespread adoption in various applications such as providing power for passenger or heavy‐duty electric vehicles, more‐electric ships, electrified rolling stocks, and more. Stability analysis is a critical issue for HVPS, but it presents significant challenges due to their prominent high‐dimensional and nonlinear characteristics. This paper presents a large‐signal stability analysis scheme for HVPS of rolling stocks, enabling the assessment of system stability under sudden load changes. Based on the state‐space averaging method, a mathematical model for the large‐signal behavior of the system is established. Subsequently, the small‐signal stability parameter range of the system is determined by analyzing the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix. To further analyze the stability of the system during large‐signal disturbances, a nonlinear decoupling transformation approach is employed to decompose the original high‐order state equations into multiple lower‐order equations. For the decoupled lower‐order subsystems, their stability is analyzed using phase portrait, and the region of attraction (ROA) is determined using the inverse trajectory method. Based on the stability analysis results, the controller is enhanced to bring the points outside the ROA back within it, thereby mitigating the transient instability phenomenon of the system. The effectiveness of the proposed method was demonstrated using two case studies.

    查看更多>>摘要:ABSTRACT Addressing issues of low input voltage in new energy generation systems such as fuel cells, a high step‐up three‐port DC–DC converter for fuel cell/battery hybrid power supply system is proposed. The proposed converter is evolved from Boost three‐port converter, and switch capacitor structure and diode capacitor voltage doubling unit are employed to achieve high voltage gain and low voltage stress. The three ports are connected to fuel cell, battery and load respectively, among which the flow of energy is realized. The steady state performance of this converter in various operating states and design of parameter are presented. Primary competitive advantages compared to similar converters include high voltage gain, continuous input current and its feature of common ground. Moreover, control strategy and compensators under three operating modes are designed to achieve stable output voltage and battery protection. Finally, a 100 W experimental prototype with 15 V input voltage and 24 V battery voltage is established to verify the stable and dynamic performance of the proposed converter.

    查看更多>>摘要:Abstract This paper presents a simple switched‐coupled‐inductor inverter (SCII), as well as completes the relevant analysis, design, and implementation, for efforts aimed at achieving boost DC‐AC inversion and strengthening closed‐loop regulation. In structure, the power‐part circuit consists of switched‐coupled‐inductor booster and half‐bridge DC‐link inverter, connected in cascade between supply VS and output Vo to work for the AC output range as 1+nD/1−DVS~−nVS (n: turn ratio, D: ratio cycle). As adopting VS=24V, D=0.42, n=6, the output Vo can be lifted to +144V~−144V (i.e., DC 24 V to AC 100 Vrms, 60 Hz). In control, the control‐part circuit consists of phase generator and sinusoidal pulse‐width‐modulation (SPWM) block and generates driver signals of switches according to the feedback signal of Vo for the needs of timing sequence (to different topologies) and output regulation/robustness (to various desired output/loading variation). The related chip circuit is designed via pre‐/post‐layout Cadence procedure and then practically is implemented on a real chip (D35‐106B‐E0027, TSMC 0.35 μm, 1500 × 1500 μm2, 3.3 V, 2.146 mW, 100 kHz max., 18S/B) via the assistance of TSMC and Chip Implementation Center (CIC). In theory, some relevant analysis and design will be discussed, such as modeling, conversion ratio, power efficiency, parameter selection, system stability, and control design. In implementation, several simulation/experiment cases via testing on the SCII's prototype circuit are illustrated to examine the efficacy of the proposed scheme.

    查看更多>>摘要:ABSTRACT The phase‐shifted full‐bridge (PSFB) converter has been widely used in DC/DC converters due to its soft‐switching characteristics. However, it still has many drawbacks. In order to solve the shortcomings of the PSFB converter, such as limited soft‐switching range, high loss of duty cycle, and high oscillating voltage of the secondary rectifier, a PSFB converter based on parallel variable inductor and series blocking capacitor is proposed in this study. A wide range of soft switching, low rectifier oscillation voltage, and no duty cycle loss can be realized by the auxiliary current‐controlled variable inductor and reasonable blocking capacitor design. In this study, the mechanism of soft switching and suppression of oscillation is discussed and some of the designs are given. Finally, the experimental results of a 200 W/50 kHz prototype are constructed in the laboratory to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed converter.

    查看更多>>摘要:ABSTRACT In this article, a bidirectional DC‐AC modulation strategy for series resonant dual active bridge converter (SR‐DAB) is proposed. This modulation strategy combines phase shift (PS) and variable frequency (VF), which utilize four control variables, namely, three PS ratios and switching frequency. Three of four control variables are used for every operating scenario. Modulation methods under both buck and boost modes are considered and designed to attain a wide voltage gain range. Situations when modulation variables reach near transition limits are also given attention by introducing the notion of transition mode to realize smooth transition. The modulation strategy is optimized and designed by considering the operating constraints and the power losses in all aspects. Comparison of this optimization strategy with other strategies is carried out to prove the advantages of the proposed strategy. Finally, a 500‐W prototype is designed and built, which can operate under the condition of input DC voltage 10–50 V and output AC voltage 220 Vrms, 50 Hz, and the measured peak efficiency reaches 96.2%.
