In recent years, the LLC resonant converter has been widely used in DC–DC conversion applications. However, the parasitic components of the LLC resonant converter have a significant impact in practical applications, such as influence on the conduction loss and the soft-switching of power devices, the voltage oscillation across rectifier diodes, the unregulated output voltage at light load condition and so on. It is hard to analyze the higher-order circuits by the conventional analysis methods. Focusing on the operational principle of the LLC converter with parasitic components, the differential equation model is presented and solved by the numerical method in this paper. The simulation results verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis. The causes of two different frequency oscillations and the voltage spike are clarified. The design considerations and a specific example of the LLC converter are given. The experimental results are consistent with the simulation results, and the soft-switching of primary-side switches can be achieved in the prototype.
A new design method for the LCL filters of three-phase voltage source PWM rectifiers is presented in this paper. Based on the single-phase harmonic equivalent model, the harmonic voltage of the rectifier side is calculated to design the LCL filter parameters by an iterative algorithm, in which the resonance frequency f res and the ratio r between the grid-side inductance and the rectifier-side inductance are selected as known constants. The design criteria and process are introduced and the influence on the design result by the value of the resonance frequency f res , ratio r is analyzed. Finally an example (600V, 500kW) is tested by simulation and experiment to verify the validity of the new design method.
