Abstract/Description:
This paper describes the results of research into multi-port converter design and control, specifically a pair of three-port topologies based on the half-bridge and full-bridge topologies. These converters are capable of simultaneous and independent regulation of two out of their three ports, while the third port provides the power balance in the system. A dynamic model was developed for each topology to aid in testing and for designing the control loops. The models were then used to design the control structures, and the results were tested in Simulink. In addition, a basic outline of a system level architecture to control multiple converters working in parallel is presented. To improve the reliability of this system, output current sharing controls were also developed. Finally, one of the topologies is analyzed in detail in order to obtain a set of design equations that can be used to improve the efficiency, weight, and cost of the converter for a specific application.
