Abstract

Electrified ports using medium-voltage DC (MVDC) renewable energy microgrids require current-fed dc/dc converters in application scenarios such as battery or ultracapacitor charging units and hydrogen production systems. This paper designs a three-level phase-shift full-bridge (TL-PSFB) converter that interfaces with the MVDC microgrid. Its operation in the current source mode requires a wide output voltage range and small output current ripple. Firstly, the dual-output TL-PSFB topology is introduced, and the principle of phase-shift pulse width modulation (PS-PWM) is presented. Secondly, the principle of the traditional constant-conduction-duty-cycle (CCDC) strategy is analyzed. Then, a minimum-output-current-ripple (MOCR) strategy is proposed by analyzing the relationship between output current ripple, conducting-duty cycle, and phase-shift duty cycle, and a constant current control combined with the MOCR strategy is designed. The output current ripple of the MOCR strategy is smaller than that of the CCDC strategy in a full range of operating conditions. Under the same output current ripple design index, the value and loss of the filter inductor can be reduced with the MOCR strategy. In addition, the MOCR strategy can widen the output voltage regulation range and increase the bus voltage utilization without causing significant changes to the total harmonic distortion (THD) of primary voltage. Finally, experimental results verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis.
