The design process of an LLC converter involves the selection of resonant tank inductor, capacitor, magnetizing inductance, resonant frequency, and transformer turns ratio for proper operation within the desired range of voltages and power. However, the design and control of frequency-modulated LLC converters in wide voltage range applications is challenging due to the wide range of switching frequencies. Topology morphing control is an established technique utilized for countering the challenges of wide voltage range LLC operation. This work provides a design framework for an LLC converter with topology morphing for wide voltage range applications. The proposed design framework uses time domain analysis and a power loss model to evaluate the optimal converter parameters for efficiency maximization over the entire voltage range. Methodology of implementing online topology morphing with closed-loop control in a digital signal processor (DSP) considering an on-board battery charger (OBC) application is also provided. The design optimization process and control methodology are validated through a 300–700 V input, 250–450 V output, 3.3 kW hardware demonstrator. An experimental peak efficiency of 97.72% is achieved compared to a calculated 97.63% efficiency, proving the accuracy of the analytical model. Time weighted averaged efficiency above 96.7% is observed over the entire voltage range.","PeriodicalId":93182,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of power electronics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10638194","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142130270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The designed inverter has multiple functionalities, including power decoupling and AC output filtering, and it can operate with a wide DC voltage range without adding extra power conversion stages or filters. Hence, it is naturally compact and highly efficient. To fully exploit its benefits, the proposed inverter operating principle and mathematical model were first developed to form the foundation of an optimal design. The criteria for selecting the inverter's key components have been presented. This ensures that the developed inverter meets the aforementioned functional requirements without being overly sized. A digital design procedure based on artificial neural networks is followed for further multiple objective optimization, targeting high efficiency, high power density and low cost. A 1.8kW prototype of the inverter was fabricated through the digital design. The inverter's operating functionality with varying DC voltage, power decoupling, and filtering was demonstrated by both simulation studies and experimental tests on the prototype.

Among the components of IPT systems, the coupling pad is responsible for the main losses in the converter. Moreover, coupling pads have nonlinear characteristics that depend on various factors, such as the number of coil turns, the diameter, the permeability of the magnetic material, and the amount of aluminum. Therefore, verifying the operation is necessary when applying various position and control algorithms after configuring an IPT system. The input/output characteristics of the IPT system are mainly determined by the coupling pad and the employed compensation topology. Verifying the operation of the coupling pad becomes challenging when the IPT application's required input/output characteristics exceed the experimental voltage range in laboratory environments. The same electrical stress is applied to the coupling pad through topology reconfiguration and resonance component tuning, and the input/output characteristics can be flexibly changed to present a guideline that can be tested in a laboratory environment. A 3-resonance component circuit allows for modeling various compensation topologies. The same electrical and heating stress are verified through a 3.3-kW experimental prototype.","PeriodicalId":93182,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of power electronics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10637674","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142169596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The only requirement is that the modules are based on half-bridge architectures, possibly synchronous, such as buck, boost, half-bridge, full-bridge and three-phase bridges. The proposed controller can work with small (few microhenries) series inductors, mostly comparable with the stray inductance already existing in the wiring. Each regulator adjusts the pulse-width modulation (PWM) of a given converter based only on its own output current. Each PWM pattern is shifted on the nanosecond time scale using a peculiarly inexpensive software modulator. The overall control action allows achieving the synchronous operation of all converters at modulation frequency, thus suppressing the circulating current. The control strategy is mathematically designed through novel models, and experimentally validated employing three DC-DC converters. The study demonstrates (i) the feasibility and robustness of the method to compensate for both phase and frequency errors among the units, (ii) the capability of the controller to cope with the inherent parameter mismatch among the modules, and (iii) its ability to operate in tandem with a load balancing regulator.","PeriodicalId":93182,"journal":{"name":"IEEE open journal of power electronics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10621445","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141881197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a novel nine-level output converter using a single voltage source, 8 unidirectional and one bidirectional MOSFET switches, and two capacitors has been presented to utilize in GPUs. A simple modulation algorithm (PWM) has been applied to achieve a THD of 3.1% on the output voltage at 115/200 V and 400 Hz without the need for additional filtering. With a relatively small output filter, the THD is further reduced to less than 1%. The proposed converter utilized a lower number of devices to output a nine-level staircase in comparison to existing converters. Additionally, the proposed converter employs inherent self-voltage balancing for capacitor voltages, thereby simplifying the control algorithm. In this paper, the topology analysis, modulation algorithm, capacitor calculation, loss, efficiency, and performance analysis of the proposed topology have been presented.

To investigate such complex systems and its phenomena, modern development methods such as real-time simulation or digital twins (DT) can be used. In this approach a digital replica of the real-world system, a grid section, is developed, which can represent or predict the behavior of the real distribution grid. For this, a model of the real-world system is derived and implemented in a co-simulation environment, in which it receives data via an analyzer or measurement system from the grid model.
