Abstract

The aim of this invention is to develop a high-efficiency fuel cell high-boost-ratio DC/DC converter with voltage-clamped and soft-switching mechanism. Due to the electrochemical reaction, the fuel cell has the power properties of low voltage as well as high current. However, the fuel cell stack with high output voltage is difficult to fabricate and its volume is overlarge. Besides, the output voltage of the fuel cell is varied easily with respect to the variations of loads. In order to satisfy the requirement of high-voltage demand, a high-efficiency high-boost-ratio converter is one of the essential mechanisms in fuel cell applications. In this invention, a high-boost ratio DC/DC converter is designed on the basis of voltage-clamped and soft-switching techniques for alleviating the switching and conduction losses to increase the conversion efficiency. It can raise the voltage ratio in conventional boost converters and solve the leakage inductance problem of coupled inductor with high turns-ratio. Moreover, the closed-loop control methodology is utilized in the proposed converter to overcome the voltage drift problem of the fuel cell under the variation of loads. The novel converter developed in this invention has the salient features of rising the utility rate for energy and increasing the stability of power supply so that it can be used in the high voltage DC bus of a high-power inverter. In addition, it also can be utilized for other power generating types with low output voltage to provide a stable DC/DC power conversion.

The fuel cell uses the principle of electrochemical reaction to generate electricity with low voltage and high current output characteristics. However, the fuel cell stack with high voltage output is bulky and difficult to stack. In addition, the output voltage of the fuel cell is easily affected by load fluctuations. For applications with high voltage requirements, inverters with high efficiency and high boost ratio characteristics are one of the indispensable items for fuel cell power regulation. The high-efficiency fuel cell high-boost ratio converter with voltage clamping and flexible switching mechanism of the invention uses voltage clamping and flexible switching technology to reduce switching loss of semiconductor switching elements and reduce conduction loss, improve conversion efficiency, and break through traditional boost The boost ratio of the converter and the problem of overcoming the leakage inductance of the coupled inductor with high turns ratio, using the closed loop control mechanism 106, increasing the sensitivity of the converter and the system bandwidth of the present invention, and solving the fuel cell output voltage is easy to change with load The problem is to achieve high efficiency fuel cell high boost ratio converter output voltage stability effect. The high-efficiency fuel cell high-boost ratio converter with voltage clamping and flexible switching mechanism developed by the invention greatly improves energy utilization and increases power supply stability, and can be applied to high-voltage DC busbar of high-power inverter or directly Providing the load, the technology of the present invention can also be developed into a power conversion device that regulates various high-voltage direct current power generation systems to stabilize high-voltage direct current. [Prior Art] The energy of nature is not an inexhaustible resource, and the environmental pollution caused by energy development is a common threat to all things on the planet. In addition, the conversion efficiency of traditional energy sources is not high. Therefore, in the face of energy shortage, improving energy conversion efficiency is an urgent task. The fuel cell directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy by using the principle of electrochemical reaction. The power generation process is noise-free and the output is free from any pollution, so its power generation efficiency is superior to that of the conventional internal combustion engine system. The fuel cell is not really a so-called battery, but an environmentally-friendly generator. Although the chemical energy is converted into electrical energy by electrochemical reaction, the reactants of the fuel cell are not sealed in the reaction. In the device, it must be continuously supplied to the electrode from the outside to continue power generation. Therefore, in theory, the life of the fuel cell is unlimited. However, fuel cell power generation has low voltage and high current power generation characteristics, and its output voltage is easy to change with load changes. Therefore, a converter with high step-up ratio characteristics and a closed loop control mechanism 106 are required to improve and stabilize the output voltage of the fuel cell. To provide a stable high voltage DC supply. On the other hand, the conventional boost converter, as shown in Fig. 2(a), can control the output voltage boost ratio by adjusting the duty cycle of the switch. However, the power semiconductor switch in the converter is not The ideal switch, during the conduction and the transient period of the power semiconductor switch, the current flowing through the power semiconductor switch and the voltage across the power semiconductor component cause high switching loss, which does not have a flexible switching converter, which is disadvantageous for high frequency operation. Switching, in order to reduce the chopping voltage and current in the circuit, only the larger capacitance and inductance value are selected, and the passive component volume and weight are increased. Moreover, when applied to the high boost ratio, the duty cycle needs to be adjusted to the maximum value. However, the equivalent resistance (ESR) of the inductor in the converter results in a limited boost ratio, so the conventional boost converter cannot operate in the high boost ratio range. When the power semiconductor switch of the conventional boost 1252589 converter is turned off, the voltage at both ends is the output voltage, and the voltage across the input voltage is several times, forcing the power semiconductor switch to select a high withstand voltage MOSFET, however, A larger on-resistance value (Rdswn}) 'forms a lower conduction loss. In addition, there is a problem of reverse recovery (Reverse_Recove^) in the diode of the conventional boost converter, and the power of the conventional boost converter during the transient period of the two-power semiconductor switch is turned on. Semiconductor switches and diodes cause reverse current surges and power. Based on the above, the development of a boosted converter with a coupled inductor improves some of the disadvantages. The converter architecture is shown in Figure 2(b), using the turn-in = sense to increase the boost ratio when the switch The power semiconductor of the current device is turned on and off, the secondary side of the coupled inductor establishes the voltage, and the power semiconductor switch is § § at the high voltage of the wheel end, with the effect of voltage clamping, but the current of the leakage inductance is at the power During the off-state of the semiconductor switch, the 111 current delay is turned off, and a higher voltage surge is caused to both ends of the power semiconductor switch.

When the switch is electrically connected in series with two poles; when the semiconductor switch is turned off, the parallel connection to the secondary side of the coupled inductor provides another path for the leakage current to flow to the output negative 10 1252589, overcoming the leakage inductance of the high inductance ratio coupling inductor. The problem is that the transistor damping circuit consumes the energy stored in the coupling inductance leakage inductance and retains the effect of the original voltage clamping. At this time, the capacitance of the converter type switching circuit resonates with the coupling inductance leakage inductance. Therefore, the two power semiconductor switches of the 开关-type switching circuit have a Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) mechanism when turned off; when the two power semiconductor switches of the 开关-type switching circuit are turned on, the energy stored in the capacitance of the 开关-type switching circuit is stored. Conducted to the primary side of the coupled inductor, the oscillator currents are incremented by zero, and the two current semiconductor switches in the Η-type switching circuit have a Zero Current Switching (ZCS) mechanism, but because they do not have a zero voltage switching mechanism, the power The parasitic capacitance voltage of the semiconductor switch causes an internal short-circuit current, which causes the power semiconductor switch to love and increase power loss, and Power semiconductor switch having high breakdown voltage of the parasitic capacitance, and therefore a substantial increase in switching losses, moreover, the use of two semiconductor switches connected in series with a power switching circuit Η extra conduction loss increases, the main factor for the efficiency not been apparent. In order to improve the disadvantages of the conventional boost converter, the present invention develops a high efficiency fuel cell high step-up ratio converter with voltage clamping and flexible switching mechanism. The converter uses a flexible switching circuit 102 whose main function is to transmit The switching of the power semiconductor switch of the flexible switching circuit 102 causes the resonant capacitor C of the flexible switching circuit 102; the upper voltage causes a voltage reversal on the primary side of the coupled inductor of the primary side circuit 1〇3, and cooperates with the resonant inductance of the flexible switching circuit 102. 4. Before the power semiconductor switch & of the primary side circuit 1〇3 is turned on, the power semiconductor switch of the primary side circuit 103 is achieved by the vibration mode, and has zero voltage and zero current switching characteristics when turned on, wherein the flexible switching 1252589 circuit 102 The power semiconductor switching center and the conduction time of the core are short, and no high circulation is caused to increase the conduction loss. Compared with the conventional boost converter, the present invention uses the coupled inductor to not only clamp the switching voltage, but also increase the boost ratio, and at the same time, utilize the characteristic of the leakage inductance of the coupled inductor to reduce the diode of the secondary circuit. The problem of reverse recovery; compared with a boost converter with a coupled inductor and a flexible switching mechanism, the present invention has zero-voltage and zero-current switching characteristics during turn-on, and the power semiconductor switch 4 of the primary side circuit is applied during the weekly period. The parasitic capacitance energy is fed back to the filter capacitor 直流 of the DC input circuit 101 to reduce the internal loss of the power semiconductor switch, and the single-power semiconductor switch is used in the primary side circuit 103 to greatly reduce the conduction loss, thereby improving the voltage clamping and flexibility disclosed in the present invention. Switching mechanism for high efficiency fuel cell high boost ratio converter conversion efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a block diagram of a high efficiency fuel cell high step-up ratio converter with voltage clamping and flexible switching mechanisms as disclosed herein. The invention utilizes a fuel cell as a direct current power source to convert the low-voltage high-current characteristic electric energy generated by the power generation process, and the high-efficiency fuel cell high-boost ratio converter power supply with voltage clamping and flexible switching mechanism disclosed by the present invention is converted. The DC output voltage F/ of the fuel cell is greatly increased, and can be applied to the occasion of high voltage demand; the closed loop control mechanism 106 of the present invention solves the problem that the DC output voltage of the fuel cell easily changes with the load, and stabilizes the DC output circuit 105. The output voltage. With the flexible switching circuit 102, the power semiconductor switch X of the primary side circuit 103 is realized to have zero voltage and zero current switching characteristics, thereby improving conversion efficiency. When the power semiconductor switch of the primary side circuit 103 is turned on 12 1252589, the coupled inductor of the primary side circuit 103 of the energy conducted by the fuel cell is firstly coupled to the primary side; when the power semiconductor switch of the primary side circuit 103 is turned off, the fuel cell is produced. The energy, the primary side of the coupled inductor stored in the primary side circuit 103, and the capacitance C2 energy of the secondary side circuit, when the diode of the primary side circuit 103 is turned on, directs the energy of the three series in series to the DC output circuit 105. Increase the DC output voltage of the fuel cell. The invention improves the principle and the control efficacy of the prior art as follows: 1. The power supply is provided by the fuel cell: the energy produced by the fuel cell power generation of the invention has the characteristics of cleanness and high efficiency, and is different from the traditional petrochemical fuel. The inventor of the invention greatly increases the DC output voltage of the fuel cell and can be applied to the high voltage DC bus of the high power inverter. 2. The secondary side circuit 103 and the secondary side circuit 104 increase the boost ratio, clamp the power semiconductor switch \ voltage, and solve the coupling inductance leakage inductance problem: the device of the present invention has a high rise by utilizing the characteristic that the coupled inductor turns are proportional to the voltage. The ratio of the voltage ratio provides a higher boost ratio than the conventional boost converter; the capacitor C2 of the secondary side circuit 104 is used to solve the problem caused by the leakage inductance of the high inductance ratio coupled inductor, and the transistor is not used. The vibration circuit consumes leakage inductance energy to facilitate the improvement of the conversion efficiency; the voltage established by the secondary side 4 of the coupled inductor of the secondary side circuit 104 shares the voltage across the power semiconductor switch of the primary side circuit 103, so that the voltage is low. The output voltage of the DC output circuit 105 is such that it has the characteristics of voltage clamping. 3.
