Initial Resonant Current Control for Extra-LC Auxiliary Resonant Snubber Soft-Switching Inverter Without Filter Inductor Current Sensor

Abstract

The initial resonant current in the extra-LC auxiliary resonant snubber inverter (ELCARSI) is the key parameter to realize soft switching and improve output quality. However, the initial resonant current is related to the filter inductor current. Thus, an extra filter inductor or capacitor current sensor is required, which increases the cost and hardware complexity. Besides, the traditional control strategy using load current to calculate the initial resonant current doesn't require the extra sensor. However, the current stress and output distortion is increased. Thus, an initial resonant current control strategy without filter inductor current sensor is proposed in this paper. The operating principle of ELCARSI is introduced. The output quality and soft switching influenced by the initial resonant current are analyzed. Besides, the proposed sensorless control with estimation of filter inductor current is introduced. A prototype was developed to verify the effectiveness of the control method. The output distortion is close to that of the control with extra sensor. INDEX TERMS Current-sensorless control, soft switching, extra-LC auxiliary resonant snubber inverter.

Low-Switching-Loss Finite Control Set Model Predictive Current Control for IMs Considering Rotor-Related Inductance Mismatch

“…So far, the new DPPM based on tripartite predictions is established. It needs to be mentioned that in addition to Equation (14), the candidate voltage vector (10) and position expression (11) are parts of the model as well.…”

“…In terms of the direct method, because the switching loss of power electronics is proportionally related to the switching frequency, it will decrease as long as the switching frequency is set at a low level when executing the control algorithms [8]. As for the indirect method, paper [9] and [10] intend to use soft-switching technique to avoid switching loss completely. By the use of a snubber circuit which consists of several passive components, the occurrence of simultaneously high values of voltage and current (power dissipation) can be prevented during the switching process.…”

Auxiliary Resonant Snubber‐Based Soft‐Switching Converter with Saturable Inductor to Reduce Reverse Recovery Current and Loss

“…The other is that the duty cycle of the main switching device is limited to achieve full range ZVS operation. In high‐precision applications, high switching frequency is required to reduce output current ripple and switching frequency improve dynamic response [12]. With the increase of switching frequency, the resonant inductance must be reduced to prevent the reduction of the duty cycle operating range.…”
