Translated Abstract
Nowdays, the multi-port converters are widely used in the renewable hybrid power systems. They can not only integrate various renewable energy together to supply the load, but also
realize the power management among the ports. Essentially, as the minimum unit of the
multi-port converters, two-port converters are a class of typical piecewise smooth circuit
systems and can exhibit a great variety of nonlinear behaviors. Due to the topology
multiplexing and the control multiplexing, the multi-port converters has a stronger nonlinearity and coupling effect. In addition, due to the multiple topologies and operation modes, the multi-port converters will exhibit more complex nonlinear dynamic behaviors.
Therefore, the further investigating the nonlinear coupling behaviors and giving the parameter stability boundary are essential to revealing the inherent mechanism and
beneficial to guiding parameter optimization design of the multi-port converters. In this
thesis, the nonlinear coupling behaviors of the two-port and three-port SEPIC converters will
be discussed as follows:
1.An equivalent autonomous model of the two-port SEPIC PFC converter is proposed by the transformation of the system dimension. Based on the proposed model, the intermediate-frequency oscillation is identified, and the corresponding bifurcation point is predicted with the help of the locus movement of all the eigenvalues, and their underlying
mechanisms are revealed. Then, the nonlinear coupling behaviors of the startup transient
process is investigated by nonlinear modal series method. It has been shown that in the
system’s startup transient process, the second-order nonlinear coupling effect is stronger than the linear coupling effect. In addition, the maximum value boundary of the typical second-order nonlinear coupling is depicted to further divide the stability region for the second time.These results have provided the guidance to optimal design for the two-port SEPIC PFC converter.
2.Both the low-frequency oscillation behavior and the direction of the bifurcation in three-port SEPIC DC-DC converter are investigated. Firstly, the operation principle is illustrated and the CCM condition is derived in detail. Then, based on the nonlinear averaged
model, the low-frequency oscillation is identified with the help of the locus movement of all
the eigenvalues, and the underlying mechanisms of the bidirection Hopf bifurcation behaviors are revealed. Finally, the parameter stability boundary is given to guide the
optimal design of the system. It has been shown that, different from two-port converters, the
three-port SEPIC converter can exhabit two types of bidirection bifurcation, and in the process to Hopf bifurcation, low-frequency oscillations destroy the boundary conditions and change the topology sequences of the system, which eventually leads to the border collision bifurcation.
3.The transient nonlinear behaviors and port coupling of a three-port SEPIC DC-DC
converter after load disturbance are investigated by modal series method. Firstly, the approximated modal series solutions, which contain high-frequency information, are derived
so as to capture the transient process. Then, the linear coupling index and second-order
nonlinear coupling index are defined to investigate the influence of circuit parameters on
transient coupling behaviors. Finally, the parameter domain of the typical linear coupling and second-order nonlinear coupling among the ports are depicted.
