Abstract
This article proposes a dynamic characteristic improvement of phase-shift full-bridge center-tapped (PSFB-CT) converter using a model predictive control (MPC) method. The PSFB-CT converter is widely used for low-voltage dc–dc converters in electric vehicles. In general, its output voltage is a control object which is usually controlled using a proportional–integral control-based output voltage controller and current controller. However, it has a disadvantage such as undesirable dynamic characteristic of the PSFB-CT converter and the necessity of gain tuning. Especially, if the gain of the PI control is increased to improve the dynamic characteristic of the PSFB-CT converter, an overshoot of the output voltage can occur. In this article, the advanced voltage control using the MPC method is proposed to improve the dynamic characteristic of the PSFB-CT converter without overshoot of the output voltage. As a result, the proposed method has advantages with not only fast dynamic characteristic but also robustness from a sudden change of load impedance. The effectiveness of the proposed MPC method was proved by the simulation and experimental results.
