Interleaved Modulation Scheme With Optimized Phase Shifting for Double-Switch Buck-Boost Converter

Abstract

Owing to low voltage stresses, wide range of input voltage and the same polarity of output voltage and input voltage, double-switch buck-boost converter (DSBBC) is a popular choice to achieve dc/dc conversion in photovoltaic generations (PV), power factor correction (PFC), portable devices and so on. Combined control (CC) makes DSBBC operate efficiently, but large ripples of output voltage are unavoidable during mode transition. With two equal duties, interleaved modulation (IM) makes the inductor ripple current decrease remarkably compared with synchronous modulation (SM) while inductor average current is still high. By introducing duty offset, inductor average current declines and efficiency is enhanced obviously under interleaved modulation with duty cycle offset (IMDO). However, with 180degree phase-shifted angle, the ripple current is not low enough in some cases. Thus, to make further improvement on ripple current, an interleaved modulation scheme with optimized phase shifting (IMOPS) is proposed for DSBBC in this paper. Current features, optimal phase-shifted angle (OPSA) and operating region under IMOPS are described meticulously. Besides, theoretical and quantitative comparisons of different modulation schemes are presented, including inductor average current, inductor ripple current and ratio of direct power transfer (DPT). Based on a 150W prototype, the feasibility and effectiveness of IMOPS are demonstrated by experimental results.INDEX TERMS Double-switch buck-boost converter, optimal phase-shifted angle, inductor ripple current, efficiency promotion.

A Novel Control Scheme of Four Switch Buck-Boost Converter for Super Capacitor Pre-Charger

“…Also, this discontinuity can cause derangement of output voltage [12]. There are several approaches to solve the problem such as phase shifting PWM scheme [13][14], pseudocritical control method [15], and model predictive control [16]. Those methods are suitable to achieve wide voltage gain since they focused on resolving discontinuities in the mode change between buck and boost operations.…”

A Comparative Study of Cutting-Edge Bi-Directional Power Converters and Intelligent Control Methodologies for Advanced Electric Mobility

“…Employing an interleaved modulator (IM) technique with uniform duty cycles can alleviate inductor ripple current, although it can sustain a higher average inductor current. However, the application of an interleaved modulator with duty offset has demonstrated its potential to curtail conventional inductor current, thereby augmenting the overall efficiency of the converter [7]. The planned lossless snubber cell for the BBC system offers soft switching aimed at all power switches in both power-flow directions.…”

Multiphase Interleaved Converter Based on Cascaded Non-Inverting Buck-Boost Converter

“…The conventional interleaved buck-boost converter has a simple circuit structure, but the voltage stress on the power electronics devices is high [23,24]. The cascaded noninverting buck-boost converter (CNIBBC) has the following advantages: reduced voltage stress and non-inverted output voltage polarity [25]. In [6,26], three CNIBBC are connected in parallel and was operating under DCM.…”
