Online Inductor Parameters Identification by Small-Signal Injection for Sensorless Predictive Current Controlled Boost Converter

Abstract

Abstract-In a sensorless predictive current controlled boost converter, parameterizing the inductor plays an important role in controller performance. In this paper, a solution for inductor parameters online identification is investigated. A small signal injection strategy is proposed to create a transient state, and convergence problem of inductance identification in steady state can be avoided. Then a charge balance current observer (CBCO), derived from capacitor current charging balance concept, is adopted to estimate the inductor current for inductance identification. Since inductance is not used in CBCO, current estimation is not affected by inductance identification error. Because of rank-deficient problem, instead of identifying inductor parasitic resistance solely, the inductor equivalent parasitic resistance is derived. By applying it into the conventional current observer for current control loop, the accuracy of current estimation can still be guaranteed since more parasitic effects are included. To improve the accuracy of inductance identification, a load identification method is investigated. Furthermore, the effect of the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of output capacitor on the proposed algorithm is analyzed. Finally, its effectiveness is verified by experimental results.Index Terms-Sensorless, boost converter, inductor parameters, online identification, small signal injection.

Review of Single-Phase Grounding Fault Locating in Distribution Network

“…According to the different injection signal, the signal injection method is divided into small signal injection method and large signal injection method. The small signal injection method has the "S injection method" [10] , and the large signal injection method has the variable frequency signal injection method [11] and the remnant current increment method [12] . Next, each method is introduced in the following.…”

Parameter Identification of DC-DC Converters under Steady-State and Transient Conditions Based on White-Box Models

“…By applying the trapezoidal rule of integration and considering four time instants T 1 , T 2 = T 1 + ∆T, T 3 = T 2 + ∆T, T 4 = T 3 + ∆T, (17) results in (18).…”

“…This approach required dealing with a simplified white-box model of the converter. Chen et al performed an online identification of inductor parameters in a boost converter by injecting a small signal in order to produce a transient state, and applying an observer obtained from the capacitor current [18]. Xu et al [19] proposed to applying an optimization approach for reducing the computational burden to estimate SMPC's parameters by applying recursive algorithms.…”

A Double Update PWM Method to Improve Robustness for the Deadbeat Current Controller in Three-Phase Grid-Connected System

“…An online estimation method of the filter inductance parameter is proposed in [17], which can prevent the current phase difference and system instability when the filter inductance parameter is not matched by the traditional prediction deadbeat current control method. However, the delay caused by the single update PWM has not been considered in the above methods.…”
