An active damping control strategy with improved transient performance for high‐frequency AC power distribution in intelligent vehicles

摘要

Summary High‐frequency AC (HFAC) LCLC resonant inverter has recently received more and more attention in power distribution system (PDS) of intelligent vehicles. However, LCLC resonance complicates the design of a current control loop and can even threaten the stability and transient performance of PDS. Active damping (AD) strategies based on the feedback of a single filter voltage or current have been shown to be effective and cost‐efficient method for attenuating resonant spikes. In this paper, a notch filter‐based AD (NFAD) control strategy is proposed to improve the stability and transient performance of PDS for intelligent vehicles. By sensing and feeding back the output resonance current of LCLC resonant inverter, the NFAD control strategy is then formulated to emulate a virtual impedance in order to improve the system phase margin and crossover frequency. Hence, the proposed control strategy can not only suppress the LCLC double resonance peaks but also effectively improve the transient performance of resonant inverter while guaranteeing the stability of the system. Finally, an experimental prototype was established and tested to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy with a rated output power of 130?W, an operation frequency of 25?kHz, and a sinusoidal output voltage of 28?V (rms).
