Abstract
This paper introduces a digitally controlled multiphase multistage hybrid boost converter (MMHBC) for high voltage capacitor charging applications. Rapid capacitor charging control approach is presented, and topological variations to improve efficiency are examined. The controller provides tight output current regulation, while maintaining real-time current balancing capabilities for superior thermal distribution and converter efficiency. The MMHBC is capable of rapid capacitor bank charging to high voltage by forcing maximum output current at the first stage, which translates into maximal output power during the whole charging period. The controller includes a system governor unit which facilitates additional control aspects for multiphase operation such as phase shedding, soft-start mechanism, and system protection. SMPS operation, rapid capacitor charging, and topological improvements are validated experimentally on a four-phase 12V-to-300V multiphase prototype with a maximum output power of 250W and power density of 2.5kW/Liter.
期刊介绍:
COMPEL exists for the discussion and dissemination of computational and analytical methods in electrical and electronic engineering. The main emphasis of papers should be on methods and new techniques, or the application of existing techniques in a novel way. Whilst papers with immediate application to particular engineering problems are welcome, so too are papers that form a basis for further development in the area of study. A double-blind review process ensures the content''s validity and relevance.
