Multi-objective Parameter Optimization of LLC Resonant Converter Based on PO Mode
摘要
The fundamental harmonic analysis (FHA) method ignores the high harmonics over a wide gain range, which leads to large errors and low precision in the voltage gain, particularly at the point where deviation from resonance occurs. A multi-objective parameter optimization method of LLC based on the time-domain analysis (TDA) is proposed. Through analyzing the optimal operating mode (the PO mode) of half-bridge LLC resonant converter in the time domain, the state-time domain equations are established in the PO mode, the correlation coefficients k1, k2, k3 and k4 of the state equations are obtained. Meanwhile, according to the load constraints, the coefficient constraints and the angle constraints, through deriving the resonant capacitance Cr, the inductance coefficient ratio K, and the conduction angle θ in the sub-interval of P mode, the complete time-domain analysis in PO mode is realized. Based on the multi-objective constraints of mode boundary, the resonant capacitor maximum and ZVS, the parameter design area is greatly optimized. A set of Cr and K optimal solutions are determined in this area to realize overall high efficiency of the converter over a wide input voltage range. Besides, to verify the advantages of the proposed method, it is compared with FHA and simplified time-domain analysis (STDA) in terms of switching frequency range, ZVS operating range, and resonant current. Finally, a 500W experimental prototype of the LLC resonant converter is built to verify the correctness of the proposed theoretical analysis.
