Single-Stage Multi-Input Buck Type High-Frequency Link's Inverters With Series and Simultaneous Power Supply

Abstract

A class of single-stage multi-input Buck type high-frequency link's inverters with series and simultaneous power supply are proposed in this article, and the key technologies such as circuit structures and topological family, energy management control strategy (EMCS), power supply modes, steady-state principle characteristics are studied in depth, from which some important conclusions are obtained. The circuit structure is composed of a multi-input-single-output high-frequency inverter, high-frequency transformer, cycloconverter, and output filter in sequence. The EMCS is to generate bipolar tri-state multilevel sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) waves by phase shifting between right and left arms of the high-frequency inverting bridge, and the cycloconverter demodulates it into a unipolar tristate multilevel SPWM wave and performs commutation when the unipolar tristate multilevel SPWM wave is zero. In addition, the EMCS realizes the, smooth switching of different power supply modes and the stability of output voltage. 1 kVA multi-input inverter prototype is designed and developed, which has the advantages of single-stage power conversion, high-frequency electrical isolation, small volume and weight, wide duty cycle regulation range, high conversion efficiency, high output voltage waveform quality and strong load adaptability. It provides a kind of effective method for a variety of new energy joint power supply.
