The use of a spread spectrum modulation technique can reduce the conducted common mode electromagnetic interference. However, the spectrum expansion of periodic pulse width modulation is not strong enough and is accompanied by spectral overlapping phenomenon in the high-frequency band. In addition, the chaotic pulse width modulation generates a large number of low-frequency components and the spectrum expansion is not controllable. In this paper, discrete chaotic sequences are used to modulate the modulation frequency of the periodic function for the second time to enhance the harmonic side-band extension capability of the periodic pulse width modulation, and to solve the problem of the accumulation of the low-frequency harmonic components caused by the chaotic pulse width modulation, and the introduction of the wide-band characteristics of the chaotic sequences can alleviate the overlapping phenomenon of the spectrum in the high-frequency band. Through the whale optimization algorithm, the relevant modulation parameters affecting the periodic-chaotic pulse width modulation–modulation frequency <i>f</i><sub>m</sub> and frequency extension range Δ<i>f</i> are optimized. Finally, a 500W phase-shifted full-bridge converter experimental prototype verifies that period-chaos pulse-width modulation has better common mode EMI attenuation characteristics when compared with period pulse-width modulation and chaotic pulse-width modulation. In addition, it verifies the accuracy of the optimized parameters.

The MRTPC consists of a four-element resonant tank (FERT), a three-element resonant tank (TERT), and an LC resonant tank (LCRT). Due to the fact that the FERT can be configured with first and third resonant frequencies (RF), it can transmit the energy of the fundamental and third harmonic components. By reasonably setting the RFs of the FERT, TERT, and LCRT, decoupling control of primary and tertiary energy transmission can be achieved. Due to the characteristics of the FERT, TERT and LCRT at different frequencies, decoupling the transmission of the power of the primary and tertiary frequency components can be achieved even when there is a certain deviation in the parameters of the resonant elements of the FERT. This feature can effectively reduce the cost of selecting resonant elements. To improve the efficiency of the MRTPC, an optimized triple-phase-shift modulation strategy (OTPSMS) is proposed to minimize the root mean square value of the resonant current (RMSRC). For the nonlinear problem of minimizing the RMSRC, the KKT condition is used for the optimization solution.
