A General Four-Port Converter With Series LC Voltage Balancer for Bipolar DC Microgrid
IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics(2023)
摘要
To construct the bipolar dc microgrid and maintain the poles voltage balanced, usually a dedicated voltage balancer (VB) is needed. In this article, a general four-port converter with a series
LC
voltage balancer (LCVB) is proposed to replace the VB. The proposed converter is composed of two partial power processing dual-active bridges (PDABs) and a series
LC
branch. The
LC
branch is added between the outputs of two PDABs, which are combined with half-bridge circuits to form LCVB. Two PDAB inputs can realize independent bidirectional power flow according to the requirements of the connected equipment. At the same time, LCVB can also balance the bipolar voltage levels. In addition, compared with the traditional two-module double active bridge converter, the proposed converter has no additional active switching device. Partial power processing structure improves the converter efficiency. Lastly, all the switches of PDAB turn
on
with zero-voltage switching. Simulations and experiments are carried out to verify the validity of the converter.
