Variable Multiple Interleaved Bi-Directional DC/DC Converter with Current Ripple Optimization

In order to reduce the current ripple and improve the power density of the system, the multiple structure design is generally adopted by the traditional bidirectional DC/DC converter. However, the fixed multiplicity design can’t make the DC/DC power converter always output the smallest current ripple under different duty ratios. Through this research, it is found that the current ripple is related to duty cycle and parallel multiplicity, and then a variable multiplicity bidirectional DC/DC power converter is proposed. Firstly, the relationship between the current ripple and parallel multiplicity and duty cycle is deduced, and the basic topology of variable multiplicity bidirectional DC/DC power converter is determined; Secondly, the average value model and AC small signal model of the system are established based on the topological structure, and then the state equation is obtained. Thirdly, the current compensation control method is designed based on the state equation. Finally, the experimental platform of variable multiplicity bidirectional DC/DC power converter is built.
