Modeling the Bi-directional DC-DC Converter for HEV's

Hybrid Electrical Vehicles-HEV!?s are the importnt ways to improve vehicle performance. The transformer isolated bi-directional DC-DC converters are the key components of the traction system in HEV!?s. This paper presents adetail mathematic model of isolated bi-directional DC-DC converter for HEV!?s. Approximate models are important mathematic methods especially for analysis and closed-loop control design converter circuits. These differential equations, which govern the converter operation, change periodically among a set of linear differential equations because of the switch effect. Basing on the time-scale the state variables was separate as fast-scale and slow-scale variables. The fast changing variable of the leakage inductor was eliminated by substitute the fast-scale variable into slow-scale variable equations, resulting in reduced order differential equations. From this set of reduced orderdifferential equations the completely averaged model of the isolated DC/DC converter was derived. The simulated results reveal that the circuit and mathematical model are consistent very well. The averaged state variables can be treated as a small component plus a DC component, so the averaged model can be separated a dynamic small signal part and a DC part. This linearized small signal model is suit for control design and analysis at a steady point that is decided by the DC component. As an example a PI controller was design basing on the linear model.
