In an energy storage system, the voltage level on the DC bus side is usually higher, while the voltage level on the battery side is lower with a wide variation range. Under this background, a three-level bidirectional full-bridge multi-resonant DC-DC converter topology is proposed, in which a three-level structure is adopted on the high-voltage side to reduce the voltage stress of the switch. The resonant cavity is designed as an LLCLC multi-resonant structure with auxiliary inductance, so that the left and right sides of the equivalent circuit is symmetrical, thus realizing the peer-to-peer driving control of forward and reverse operations and the bidirectional transmission of power. An improved synchronous pulse-frequency-modulation control strategy is adopted, so that the full-range zero-voltage-switch can be realized for switches on the high- and low-voltage side regardless of the forward or reverse operation. Compared with the traditional LLC resonant topologies, the proposed topology can achieve a wider range of voltage gain in a narrower frequency range. Through the optimization design of resonant cavity parameters, the converter can transmit the current fundamental wave and third harmonic power at the same time, thereby improving the energy transmission efficiency. Finally, a 2 kW experimental prototype was built, and experimental results verified the theoretical analysis.

The bi-directional power transmission with a high efficiency and a high power density can be achieved by employing CLLC resonant converters. However, the traditional parameter design method is cumbersome and requires multiple iterations to obtain appropriate circuit parameters. To solve this problem, the working principle and characteristics of a bi-directional CLLC converter are analyzed, and a novel parameter design method is proposed. By considering the full range of soft switching, design index constraints and high-efficiency optimization conditions, the range of design parameters is narrowed and the design steps are optimized, thus effectively reducing the complexity of the converter parameter design process. Based on the demand for a 48~380 V/kW bi-directional DC-DC converter in industrial applications, specific parameter design steps and results were given, and a prototype was developed. The correctness and effectiveness of the proposed parameter design method was verified through experimental testing.

With the rapid development of new energy technology, the performance of DC-DC converters continuously increases. In this paper, a novel high-gain DC-DC converter is proposed, which is improved based on the quasi-Z-source topology. Owing to the use of the topology in which three capacitors discharge together to the load, a higher voltage gain is obtained while the voltage stress of capacitors is reduced. The proposed converter has advantages of the traditional quasi-Z-source converter such as simple control, continuous current and small current ripple. The working principle for this converter is analyzed. In addition, its performance was verified through simulation experiments and prototype experiments.

Limited by the switching frequency, the frequency-controlled LLC resonant converter is difficult to achieve a wide output voltage range. To solve this problem, an expandable variable-mode interleaved parallel LLC resonant converter is studied. The secondary-side of this converter adopts a voltage doubling rectifier circuit, which can work in a parallel or series mode according to different switch combinations of two half-bridges on the primary-side, and it can adapt to the wide output voltage range of 1-3N times. A fixed-frequency PWM control method is proposed. In the middle region between the parallel and series modes, the fixed switching frequency is taken as the resonant frequency, and the duty cycle of one bridge arm is changed to realize voltage control. PSIM simulation results show that the wide output voltage range of 1-3N times can be realized by expanding 2N resonator cavities. The experimental results of a 100 W prototype demonstrate that the wide output voltage range of 1-3 times can be achieved with two half-bridges and two resonant cavities, and the effectiveness of the proposed converter and its control strategy was verified.

For evaluating the capacity of wind powers, photovoltaics and other power electronic grid-connected units supporting power systems, the core foundation is to correctly understand the unit’s functional role（i.e., the unit characteristics） that unit adjusts its own internal voltage amplitude/frequency according to the active/reactive power imbalance. However, the mainstream PLL-based grid-connection structure in power electronic units seriously hinders the understanding of the unit’s functional role. In particular, based on a specific PLL-based grid-connection structure, the industry and academia at present form a “grid following” role perception that the internal voltage of unit follows the grid voltage or terminal voltage, and have not recognized the functional role that the unit should take during the system operation. Therefore, through an in-depth understanding of the independent excitation-response mechanism of current control which is hidden under the PLL-based grid-connection structure, i.e., the internal voltage response depends on current excitation alone, the functional role of PLL-based grid-connected units in which the active/reactive power imbalance independently adjusts the internal voltage amplitude/frequency is clarified. Afterwards, a role characterization method for unit is pro-posed based on the relationship between active/reactive power imbalance excitation and internal voltage amplitude/fre-quency response, i.e., the amplitude-frequency motion equation. Finally, the inevitability of characterizing the role of PLL-based grid-connected units through the relationship between power excitation and internal voltage response is elab-orated on, and the existing limitations in the understanding of the role of PLL-based grid-connected units in industry and aca-demia are pointed out.

Aimed at the problems of a traditional LLC resonant converter in wide voltage applications such as a wide switching frequency range and a poor voltage regulation performance, a voltage doubling two-phase parallel resonant converter is proposed. There is a parallel double half-bridge LLC structure on the primary side of this converter, and a bidirectional switch is introduced into the full-bridge rectifier network on its secondary side to form a reconfigurable voltage doubling rectifier network. Fixed frequency control is adopted during operation. The lower half-bridge on the primary side changes the input voltage of the resonant tank by changing the duty cycle, while the upper half-bridge works with a fixed duty cycle. The rectifier network on the secondary side realizes full-bridge and voltage doubling hybrid rectification under the bidirectional switch, which can achieve 4 times of voltage gain. At the same time, this converter has a good soft switching performance, its voltage gain is independent of magnetizing inductance and load, and a larger magnetizing inductance can be selected to reduce the switch-off loss and conduction loss. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed converter was verified by simulation and experimental results.

The new generation of wide bandgap power semiconductors such as SiC and GaN are driving the rapid high-frequency, high-efficiency, and small volume development of power electronic equipment. However, they are also more likely to interfere with sensitive loads, affect wireless communication, and even endanger their own safety and reliable operation, which poses great pressure and challenges to the electromagnetic compatibility（EMC） performance of power electronic equipment. In recent years, the radiated frequency（RF） characteristics of power switches, wideband electromagnetic models of magnetic components, electromagnetic radiation mechanisms of switched mode power supplies, near-field characteristics of wireless power transmission（WPT）, and the new designs of electromagnetic interference（EMI） filters have become current research hotspots and received continuous attention from academia and industry. The Journal of Power Supply has specially released the album "Electromagnetic Compatibility in Power Electronic Systems" to promote the exploration of difficult and hot issues in the field of EMC analysis and design of power electronic systems.

The active-clamped soft-switching inverter can realize the soft-switching of power devices, which is conducive to improving the power density and dynamic performance of the inverter. However, when overcurrent occurs, if the conventional cycle-by-cycle(CBC) current limit strategy(i.e., a strategy under which power devices will be blocked once overcurrent occurs) is adopted, the DC bus current will change its direction from flowing to the inverter bridge to flowing to the DC side. Due to the existence of a resonant inductor, both the DC bus current and the current flowing through the resonant inductor flow through the auxiliary switch, so there is high current stress on the auxiliary switch. In this paper, an improved CBC current limit strategy is proposed. By changing the switching state of the inverter bridge after the CBC current limit strategy is triggered, the DC bus current flowing to the DC side is reduced, thus significantly suppressing the current stress. In addition, the protection strategy was verified by an experiment of 3 kW active-clamped soft-switching inverter.

Resonant converters with a wide input range are much in demand in energy storage and new energy systems. When the voltage gain characteristics of an LLC resonant converter are calculated using the operation mode analysis (OMA) method, it is often assumed in previous studies that the circuit under phase shift control is in discontinuous conduction mode, resulting in significant errors in the gain analysis result of a converter which is in continuous conduction mode. On the basis, an OMA calculation method for an LLC resonant converter with a voltage doubling rectifier is proposed to identify the two modes. First, the criterion for determining whether the converter operates in continuous or discontinuous conduction mode is obtained through the modal analysis. Then, the normalized calculation models of these two modes are derived by OMA, and the calculation results and the criterion are used to verify the actual mode. Finally, a comparison among the calculated, simulated and experimental voltage gain curves under different conditions indicates the effectiveness of the proposed method. This method is more applicable to LLC converters in possible continuous mode, improves the accuracy of the gain analysis and is helpful for parameter design.

The application of multi-phase interleaved parallel coupled inductors technology can effectively reduce the phase current ripple and improve the dynamic response speed. Aimed at different design objectives, the influencing factors for the steady-state and dynamic performances of direct- and indirect-coupled inductors are analyzed. Subsequently, based on the invariant equivalent dynamic inductance before and after coupling, the direct- and indirect-coupled inductors are designed to enhance the steady-state performance. Similarly, based on the invariant equivalent steady-state inductance before and after coupling, direct- and indirect-coupled inductors are designed to improve the dynamic performance. Finally, the cor-rectness and effectiveness of the theoretical analysis were verified by experimental results, demonstrating that the two different coupling methods can significantly enhance the steady-state and dynamic performances of the converter, respectively.

With the rapid development of power generation by renewable energy and the grid-connection technology, the microgrid dominated by power electronic converters has attracted more and more attention in recent years. Owing to the low inertia and high nonlinearity of power electronic converters, an islanded microgrid under large disturbances is more likely to lose its transient stability. Considering the interactions between grid-forming and grid-following converters in the microgrid, a transient stability criterion based on the equal area criterion（EAC） and an improved control strategy for transient stability are proposed. First, the simplified second-order dynamic model of the islanded microgrid is established, which contains a nonlinear damping term relying on the power angle. Then, the impact of the nonlinear damping term on the acceleration and deceleration areas is revealed from the energy perspective. Considering the distribution characteristics of nonlinear damping, a transient stability criterion is formulated for the positive damping region. In addition, according to the stable boundary conditions, an improved control strategy for transient stability based on voltage feedforward is also put forward. Finally, simulations are carried out with MATLAB/Simulink to verify the effectiveness of the proposed stability criteria and the improved control strategy. The results show that the microgrid transient stability criterion and the improved control strategy proposed can provide a theoretical basis for the parameter optimization design of power electronic converters and the improvement of the stable operation capability of microgrid.

Owing to their merits including continuous input and output current, high efficiency and high power density, non-isolated Superboost converters are widely applied in spacecraft power systems. However, the switching loss of the device will increase in a scenario with a high step-up ratio, resulting in a decrease in the converter efficiency. To solve this problem, a zero-voltage switching pulse-width modulation (ZVS-PWM) Superboost converter with low voltage stress is proposed. By introducing a resonant tank, the main switch can be turned on or off under ZVS, and the auxiliary switch can be turned on under zero current switching and turned off under ZVS. Besides, all the diodes are operating under soft-switching. As a result, the switching loss is reduced effectively, and the converter efficiency is improved without increasing the voltage and current stress of the main power device. The operation principle, soft-switching conditions and device stress are analyzed in detail, and the state-space averaging approach is used to estimate the steady-state and dynamic characteristics of the proposed converter. In addition, its feasibility was verified by a prototype with 100 kHz and 400 W.

Aimed at the problem that the converter current ripple and electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise will increase due to the increasing switching frequency of a three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) converter, a variable switching frequency modulation strategy based on current ripple prediction is proposed to reduce the current ripple, harmonic noise and EMI noise of the three-level NPC converter. According to the requirements of current ripple, the switching cycle and sampling cycle are calculated to synthesize the latest switching cycle and form feedback, so as to realize variable frequency modulation. The random cycle is distributed around the expected cycle, so that the harmonic noise and electromagnetic noise of the converter are more evenly distributed in a wide frequency band. As a result, the electromagnetic noise of the converter is reduced, and the output inductance current ripple is improved. The relevant simulation and experimental results verified that compared with those under the traditional modulation strategy, the common mode noise was reduced by about 20 dB/μV under the proposed modulation strategy, the differential mode noise was reduced by about 10 dB/μV, and the amplitude of output inductance current ripple was also reduced accordingly.

To address the issue that a dual-active-bridge DC-DC converter will produce large current stress when voltages mismatch and result in a large reduction of its efficiency, a combined dual-phase-shifting (CDPS) control strategy is proposed, which combines dual-internal-phase-shifting (DIPS) and interlaced-dual-phase-shifting (IDPS). First, the working principles of the two control strategies are analyzed, and the mathematical models of transmission power and current stress are established. Second, with the minimum current stress as the objective, the optimal phase-shifting ratios are solved by using the Lagrange multiplied method under the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition. Third, the optimization methods under the two control strategies are combined according to different voltage ratios and transmission power. The CDPS control is used to obtain the optimal solution of current stress, which is compared with those obtained under the existing single-phase-shifting and dual- phase-shifting control strategies. Results show that the proposed control strategy can further reduce the current stress and reactive power under the condition of high voltage ratios and improve the efficiency. Finally, an experimental prototype was built to verify the feasibility of the proposed control strategy.

Phase-shifted full-bridge zero-voltage zero-current switching(ZVZCS) converters are favored in high-power DC conversion applications owing to their advantages such as simple structures and high efficiency. However, high-power phase-shifted full-bridge ZVZCS converters still face problems including difficulty in the current reset and severe duty cycle loss. In response to the above issues, a novel phase-shifted full-bridge ZVZCS converter is put forward, which ensures that it can realize zero-current switching over a wide load range by introducing an auxiliary circuit on the primary side to reset the current to zero before the turn-on of lagging-leg switches. At the same time, it can accelerate the commutation speed on the primary side, reduce the duty cycle loss and realize an optimized design of power supply. Based on the analysis of the circuit structure, working principle and characteristics of the proposed converter, a 1 kW experimental prototype was designed to verify its correctness.

An evaluation platform for the CM noise suppression characteristics of high-frequency transformer was established, which was suitable for batch applications in engineering. The conduction mechanism of common-mode（CM） noise in a transformer was analyzed, and the conduction characteristics of CM noise along the coupling path in the transformer was investigated for evaluating the transformer’s capability of suppressing the CM noise. First, a function generator was used to generate a high-frequency voltage pulsation signal, which was assigned on the primary winding of the transformer to simulate the transmission characteristics of CM noise. Then, an oscilloscope was used to capture the voltage drop generated by the CM signal on the sampling resistor to judge the suppression effect of the transformer on the CM noise, so as to analyze the influence of the sampling resistor selection on the evaluation results. The effectiveness of the proposed evaluation method for the CM noise suppression characteristics of transformer was verified by comparing the evaluation results with the test results of conducted electromagnetic interference spectrum.

In an energy storage system, the current-fed dual-active-bridge converter has a large current stress and the corresponding soft-switching range is limited, which limits the converter's efficiency and power density. To solve these problems, combined with the coupled inductor technology, a current-fed dual-active-bridge converter with a low current ripple on the energy storage side and a wide soft-switching range is proposed. Two current-fed full bridges are connected in parallel on the energy storage side, thus effectively reducing the current stress of switches therein. By adjusting the phase shift angle between the two parallel full bridges on the energy storage side, the current ripple is reduced. By reasonably designing the coupling filter inductance, the obtained mutual inductance current is large enough to satisfy the soft-switching conditions for switches. The working principle and steady-state analysis of the converter were given in detail, and a 400 W experimental prototype was designed to verify the superiority and feasibility of the proposed converter.

The magnetic integrated coupling technology is introduced into a high-gain converter, and a magnetic integrated Boost converter based on diode clamping is proposed. Through the theoretical analysis of the working principle and performance characteristics of the proposed converter, it is shown that this converter can reduce its volume and inductance current ripple based on the advantages of the original converter, such as a high voltage gain and a simple control strategy. In addition, the voltage gain of the novel converter is further improved by using the switched capacitor technology, the voltage stress of the switch and diode is further reduced, and the energy conversion efficiency of the converter is effectively improved. Finally, the findings were verified by simulation and experimental results.

The cascaded H-bridge is considered as one of the most suitable topologies for photovoltaic (PV) power generation. Aimed at the problems of the traditional three-phase cascaded H-bridge PV inverter such as a large capacitor volume, a short service life, inter-phase power mismatch and a complex control communication system, a novel modular three-phase PV inverter and its distributed control strategy are proposed based on the principle of magnetic flux cancellation. First, the basic structure of the proposed modular topology is introduced. Then, the basic principle of magnetic flux cancellation power decoupling and the influencing factors of double-line frequency voltage ripple are analyzed in detail, and a distributed control strategy is proposed to suppress the double-line frequency voltage ripple and ensure the balance of three-phase output power. Finally, the correctness of theoretical analysis and the feasibility of the proposed control strategy were verified by simulation and experimental results.

The common-mode（CM） inductor is composed of windings and a magnetic core. Mn-Zn ferrite can be used as the magnetic core of CM inductor, and the frequency-dependent characteristics of its high-frequency parameters make the CM inductor exhibit non-linearity within a range of 150 kHz-30 MHz. It is difficult to accurately predict the impedance characteristics of the CM inductor in a high-frequency band due to the large deviation between the traditional lumped circuit model of CM inductor and the measured impedance characteristics. The effects of material parameters of the magnetic core and the winding scheme on the high-frequency impedance characteristics of CM inductor are analyzed, and the mechanism of magnetic material parameters and the winding structure affecting the distributed capacitance is described from the perspective of the distributed capacitance characteristics of CM inductor. A wide-band impedance simulation modeling method for CM inductor with the consideration of related frequency-dependent parameters of magnetic core was proposed, and its validity was verified by combining with the impedance test result.

Aimed at the problem of wide frequency range and large circulating current with the traditional frequency-controlled LLC resonant converter in wide output voltage applications, a fixed-frequency PWM controlled hybrid bridge dual-LLC resonant converter is studied. According to the difference in the primary-side structure, the converter has three forms of topology, i.e., half-bridge-half-bridge, half-bridge-full-bridge and full-bridge-full-bridge, in which the primary-side structure is in parallel and the two transformers on the secondary-side are in series. Compared with the traditional frequency-controlled LLC converter, the three topologies always work at the resonant frequency, which reduces the switching frequency range. In addition, under the PWM control strategy, the three topologies can achieve 2, 3 and 4 times voltage gain, respectively, thereby adapting to wide voltage scenarios. At the same time, the circuit has a low circulating current loss and a good soft switching performance. Simulink simulation and experimental results verified the feasibility of the proposed scheme.

A novel single-switch high-gain converter with no transformers and no coupled inductors is studied in this paper. Since the voltage lifting unit is added to the Boost converter, the voltage gain of the converter is improved, the voltage stresses of the switch and diodes are reduced, and the conduction loss of the switch is reduced under the condition of a small duty cycle. As a result, the efficiency of the converter is improved. To further improve the dynamic performance and anti-disturbance capability of the converter, the immune feedback mechanism is introduced based on the analysis of a single neuron controller. A fuzzy immune-single neuron PID control strategy is studied in this paper, in which the fuzzy immune control is combined with the single neuron smart controller to realize self-tuning of the single neuron proportional coefficient. Finally, a simulation study of the proposed converter and control strategy was carried out, and an prototype with an output of 200 V/0.5 A was designed for experimental verification. Both the simulation and experimental results show that the proposed converter can obtain a higher voltage gain under a smaller duty cycle. Compared with the traditional PID control strategy, the proposed fuzzy immune-single neuron PID control strategy can more effectively suppress system disturbances and improve the dynamic performance of the converter, indicating a stronger adaptive

The electromagnetic radiation emitted by an AC/DC telecommunication power supply is prone to ex-ceeding the limit standards, so the researches on its electromagnetic radiation mechanism and prediction methods can improve the corresponding electromagnetic compatibility（EMC） design. First, after the analysis of the source and propa-gation path of common-mode（CM） electromagnetic interference in an AC/DC telecommunication power supply module, it is suggested that its far-field electromagnetic radiation can be decomposed into two types, which are driven by input-port and output-port CM voltages, respectively. Then, a novel method of far-field electromagnetic radiation prediction is pro-posed by combining the CM voltage-driven sources with the radiation transfer functions of parasitic radiators. The spec-trum measurement of each CM voltage-driven source is realized by designing a spectrum analyzer and a resistor attenua-tor, and the radiation transfer functions of each parasitic radiator is numerically calculated using an electromagnetic sim-ulation software FEKO. Finally, the radiation prediction of a 4 kW AC/DC telecommunication power supply module was achieved, and the effectiveness of the proposed prediction method was verified by test results.

Aimed at the time-delay oscillation of a bidirectional H4 bridge converter in a single-phase energy storage inverter, a unified control method for the bidirectional H4 bridge converter is proposed. In this method, a voltage regulator is used to control the power flow of the converter, and a set of bidirectional feasible control parameters are derived based on the power balance theory. At the same time, in order to realize AC current tracking input voltage without static error and increase the stability, the current inner-loop adopts a quasi proportional resonance controller, and a second-order generalized integrator is used to design a phase-locked loop. PSIM simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method can realize seamless switching between the rectification and active inverter modes, and it also has a good effect in the startup and switching between different modes. Therefore, it can realize stable control of the bidirectional AC-DC bridge converter in a single-phase photovoltaic energy storage system and obtain a good dynamic performance.

In the background of environment protection and power-saving awareness, the requests for new energy electric vehicles and their on-board charger（OBC） keep growing. As one of the important components in the OBC module, magnetics is getting more and more attention accordingly. The magnetics integration of differential mode（DM） and common mode（CM） chokes for a 3-phase 4-wire（3P4W） electromagnetic interference（EMI） filter used in OBC is theoretically analyzed and studied. Based on the analysis and comparison of the background of power supply applications, the integration principle for DM and CM chokes, and the available integration schemes in industry and academia, an integration of DM and CM chokes for 3P4W with quasi-cross DM magnetic branches is proposed. Through the magnetic flux simulation analysis, electrical characteristics under DC-bias and the on-board tested data, the effect of the magnetics integration scheme was proved, i.e., it can obviously decrease the DC-bias on DM magnetic branches in the case of unbalanced 3-phase current and effectively improve the anti-EMI performance of power supply.

The coupling between the boost control and neutral-point voltage balance control of a quasi-Z-source three-level inverter seriously limits its control performance. To solve this problem, a neutral-point voltage balance control strategy based on a virtual space-vector pulse width modulation method is proposed. The neutral-point voltage balance control is realized through a closed-loop control of the DC-bus capacitor voltage, and the low-frequency fluctuations in the neutral-point voltage are eliminated. Meanwhile, a constant shoot-through boost modulation strategy is employed, which avoids the adverse impact on the neutral-point voltage and guarantees an ample boosting capacity of the quasi-Z-source network. Finally, simulation and experimental results verified the validity of the proposed control strategy.

To solve the problems of large current stress, difficult soft switching of all switches and slow dynamic response of dual active bridge（DAB） converters, a multi-objective unified optimal control strategy based on triple-phase-shift（TPS） control is proposed. The forward power flow global mode of TPS control is analyzed, and three high-efficiency modes are selected to establish the analytical models of current stress and soft switching. Combined with these models, the optimal phase-shift ratio combination and minimum current stress in different modes are derived using the cost function optimization equation, which makes the switches operate within the zero-voltage-switching power constraint range. At the same time, the virtual power component is introduced in the process of efficiency optimization. A small-signal model is constructed, and the influence of small disturbance of different state variables on output voltage is clarified. Experimental results show that the proposed control strategy can not only reduce the current stress of the DAB converter and make all switches realize zero-voltage-switching, but also improve the dynamic performance of output voltage in the full power range.

Harmonic and electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters are two important output filters used to sup-press the harmonic distortion and EMI noise in grid-connected inverters. Harmonic and EMI filters are combined by planar magnetic integration to reduce the volume and weight. Through the selection of an appropriate magnetic core, the common mode and differential mode inductors are integrated into the same core by drawing PCB planar coil. To integrate the discrete capacitors and further realize the planar magnetic integration of EMI filter, the dielectric is inserted into the PCB and the layer connection mode is reasonably planned. A symmetric LCL filter is used to replace the traditional asymmetric structure of magnetic integration. Furthermore, by designing the air gap in the center pillar of the magnetic core and reasonably arranging the planar windings, the inductors of LCL harmonic filter are also integrated into the same magnetic core unit to form an LCL-EMI planar magnetic integrated filter. A gallium nitride single-phase inverter platform was built, and the LCL-EMI filter with planar magnetic integration was experimentally analyzed to verify the feasibility of the planar magnetic integration method.

For an LCL-type inverter connected to weak grid, the appearance of grid impedance often results in a decrease in the phase margin, serious distortion of grid-connected current and even system instability. To solve this problem, an improved grid-connected current control strategy is proposed, in which a multi-resonance controller is introduced in the voltage feedforward loop to suppress the voltage background harmonics and a phase compensator is added to the current feedforward loop to improve the system's phase margin, so as to avoid the risk that the resonance peak of the multi-resonance link intersects with the -180° line. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed strategy can effectively suppress the harmonics of LCL-type grid-connected current, improve the current quality and enhance the stability of the grid-connected system.

The constant-current power supply system is suitable for remote seabed power supply in a harsh environment owing to its strong anti-failure capability. As all the seabed equipment adopts constant-voltage power supply, a constant-current to constant-voltage conversion device is needed to convert constant-current input into constant-voltage output to provide electric energy for the seabed equipment. To solve the problem that an efficient conversion from constant-current to constant-voltage in a wide load range as well as a high-pressure isolation control, a constant-current to constant-voltage converter topology with cascade of a shunt regulator circuit and a DC transformer is proposed to achieve the efficient conversion from constant-current to constant-voltage in a wide range. Aimed at the output control problem under high-pressure isolation, an indirect control strategy for output voltage based on input-side detection is studied to achieve an accurate control of output voltage without the need of high-cost and large-volume output isolation detection devices. Finally, an experimental prototype with input of 1 A and rated power of 500 W was built to verify the feasibility of the power conversion technology of constant-current to constant-voltage converter.

In the case of high switching frequency, the bridge arm crosstalk caused by the parasitic parameters of SiC MOSFET in the traditional drive are more serious. However, most of the existing crosstalk suppression drive circuits suppress the crosstalk at the expense of increasing the switching loss, prolonging the switching delay and adding the control complexity. Therefore, based on the idea of reducing the impedance of the drive loop in the process of crosstalk generation, a novel active Miller clamp gate drive design is proposed by adding PNP triodes connected in series with diodes and capacitors between the gate and source, and its working principle is analyzed. The parallel capacitance parameters of the improved drive circuit are also calculated and designed. Finally, an experimental platform of double-pulse test for a synchronous Buck converter with DC bus voltage of 300 V was built, and the novel crosstalk suppression drive circuit was compared with the traditional and typical crosstalk suppression circuits in terms of the positive and negative crosstalk voltage spike suppression effects and the turn-on and turn-off speeds. Experimental results show that compared with those of the traditional and typical crosstalk suppression circuits, the positive and negative voltage spikes of the proposed crosstalk suppression drive circuit were reduced by 80% and 40%, respectively, and the switching delay of the device was reduced by 32% in the meantime.

First, the impedance models of key parts in the subsea power supply system are established. Considering the characteristics of high power electronic penetration rate, multi-bus cascading and adjacent bus interactive coupling of the subsea DC power supply system, the stability and influencing factors of the system are explored by using the step-by-step analysis method. The analysis result shows that the integral parameter of the controller is the dominant parameter that leads to the instability of the Buck converter, and the proportional parameter of the controller is the dominant parameter that results in the instability of the junction box subsystem. Both an increase in the impedance parameter of the optoelectronic composite cable and a decrease in the inductance parameter are beneficial to improving the system stability. The simulation results based on the PLECS simulation software verify the stability analysis results.

In order to improve the DC voltage gain and reduce the electrical stress,a novel high voltage gain DC-DC converter based on Z-source is proposed. Theoretically, the ratio of output voltage to input voltage can reach (2-D)/( 1-2D). Compared with the traditional diode capacitor filter Z-source DC-DC converter, the proposed topology can provide a higher DC voltage gain at the same duty cycle. It has lower voltage stress and inductance current stress when the DC voltage gain is the same. In addition, the input port and output port of the proposed DC-DC converter share the common ground, which helps to reduce the electromagnetic interference of the system. On this basis, the steady-state principle and characteristics of the proposed DC-DC converter are introduced, and the parameter design and theoretical efficiency calculation are also carried out. Finally, an experimental prototype with a power level of 200 W was fabricated, and experimental results proved the feasibility and superiority of the proposed circuit topology.

Aimed at new energy combined power supply systems such as photovoltaic and fuel cells, a non-isolated dual-input high step-up DC-DC converter is proposed. This converter is based on a dual-input Boost circuit, and the two input sources and output, as well as each switch tube, share a common ground. A diode capacitor network is introduced at the later stage to achieve high voltage gain and reduce the voltage stress of switching devices. The two input sources can supply power at the same time, and any one of them can supply power independently without adding extra switch tubes. In addition, the voltage gain can be further improved by expanding the booster unit to adapt to different application scenarios. The working principle for the converter and its extended circuit and the corresponding performance such as voltage gain characteristics and voltage stress of switching devices in three power supply modes are analyzed in detail, and its performance is compared with those of the existing similar converters. Finally, an experimental prototype was built to verify its feasibility.

Compared with the traditional silicon(Si) devices, the gallium nitride(GaN) devices have lower parasitic parameters, a faster switching speed and a smaller on-resistance, which will easily lead to the phenomenon of continuous oscillation during their switching-on process and further result in the circuit instability. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress this phenomenon in practical circuits. Under this background, a negative conductance model of a bridge circuit under the conventional driving scheme is established at first, and the oscillation stability of the circuit is analyzed. Then, by adding optimization to the conventional driving scheme, the corresponding negative conductance model is established. The optimization schemes of series damping represented by changing the resistance and adding ferrite beads and those of parallel low impedance represented by adding RC snubber are selected, respectively. With this model, the influence of adding the driving optimization schemes on the oscillation stability of the circuit can be identified, and the changes in the stability before and after the addition were verified by experimental results, providing a reference for the driving circuit to select its appropriate driving optimization scheme.

Temperature sensitive electrical parameter method has characteristics such as strong online capacity, non-invasiveness, and rapid response, so it has become a research hotspot at present.

Experimental results verified the accuracy and validity of the obtained three-dimensional junction temperature representation model.

To address the power quality issues in a multiple grid-connected-converter system (MGCCS) for renewable energy, the series and parallel models of MGCCS are established at first based on the harmonic state space (HSS) method. The HSS models account for high-frequency components during the switching process, with its internal Toeplitz matrix effectively capturing the harmonic coupling within the converters. Based on the series and parallel HSS models of MGCCS, a virtual resistor is introduced to improve the model, and the impact of grid impedance is considered to simulate the multi-converter grid-connected system. In addition, the harmonic stability of this system is investigated by analyzing the eigenvalues of the state matrix. The influences of main circuit and controller parameters on the harmonic instability are analyzed in depth, and the oscillation frequencies in harmonic instability modes are predicted. Simulation results based on MATLAB/Simulink and RT-LAB experimental results validate the accuracy of the improved HSS models and the harmonic stability analysis.

To reduce the cost and the number of components while ensuring the safe operation of the circuit, a single-phase isolated Δ-source AC-AC converter is proposed. This novel converter can provide a wider range of Buck-Boost output voltage, and the input voltage and output voltage can be in-phase or out-phase. Meanwhile, the surge and harmonic currents are suppressed, and the circuit reliability is improved. The working principle for the proposed circuit is analyzed, the voltage values of main components in each working process are deduced, and the relationship between input voltage and output voltage is formulated, which is further compared with those of other improved AC-AC converters. The theoretical analysis proves the performance of the novel AC-AC converter. A simulation model and an experimental model were built according to the designed parameters for verification, and simulation and experimental results verified the correctness and feasibility of the theoretical analysis.
