A Bandpass Filter Incorporated Into the Inductor Current Feedback Path for Improving Dynamic Performance of the Front-End DC–DC Converter in Two-Stage Inverter

Abstract

The instantaneous output power of a two-stage single-phase inverter pulsates at twice the output voltage frequency, generating second harmonic current (SHC) in the frontend dc-dc converter. To reduce the SHC, this paper proposes a virtual impedance based control strategy. For the case of adopting a resistor as the virtual impedance, a closed-loop parameter design method is presented, revealing that the voltage loop crossover frequency is relatively low under such circumstance. To overcome this problem, a control strategy incorporating a bandpass filter (BPF) into the inductor current feedback path is put forward and a damping resistor is further added into the BPF for the purpose of improving the system stability margin. Hence, the proposed control scheme can not only reduce the SHC significantly, but also improve the dynamic performance of the front-end dc-dc converter effectively while guaranteeing the stability of the converter. Finally, a 1-kVA prototype is built and tested in the laboratory, and the experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.Index Terms-Bandpass filter (BPF), second harmonic current (SHC), two-stage inverter, virtual impedance.

Improving the Stability of Cascaded DC/DC Converter Systems via Shaping the Input Impedance of the Load Converter With a Parallel or Series Virtual Impedance

“…1 shows a typical cascaded system, which is composed of a source converter and a load converter. Though both the source and load converters can work well individually, the whole system may become unstable because of their interactions as reported in [8] [12]. The stability of the cascade system can be guaranteed if the Middlebrook criterion is satisfied [13] [17], i.e., Zo_S/Zin_L satisfies the Nyquist criterion, where Zo_S is the source converter's output impedance and Z in_L is the load converter's input impedance.…”
