Abstract

In this paper, we propose a digital controller design methodology for an LLC resonant converter which has been widely used due to the advantages of low switching loss and high efficiency. We establish a mathematical model of an LLC resonant converter using the extended describing function concept and propose a controller design method based on the Ziegler Nichols control parameter tuning criteria. The voltage controller of an LLC resonant converter is designed based on the derived small signal model and the performance of the controller is verified by MATLAB simulations. The validity and the control performance of the designed voltage controller for the LLC resonant converter is analyzed through some simulations for the case of load variations and circuit modeling errors.

본 논문에서는, 스위칭 손실이 적고 효율이 높은 이점을 갖고 있는 LLC 공진형 컨버터에 대하여 선형화된 수학적 모델을 정립하고 디지털 제어기 설계 과정을 제안한다. LLC 공진형 컨버터의 비선형 모델에 대하여 EDF(Extended Describing Function) 기법을 도입하여 비선형성을 선형 근사화시킨 선형 소신호 모델을 정립하고 Ziegler Nichols 방법을 이용하여 제어기 계수를 선정하였으며 연속시간 제어기를 디지털 제어기로 변환하여 적용한다. 유도된 선형 소신호 모델에 기반하여 전압 제어기를 설계하고, MATLAB 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제어기의 성능을 검증한다. 또한, 부하 변화 및 모델링 오차를 고려한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 LLC 공진형 컨버터에 대해 설계된 전압 제어기의 타당성 및 제어성능을 분석한다.
