  • Publication number: 20230073099
    Abstract: A power converter is provided. The power converter includes power units and local controller. Input terminals of the power units are connected to each other in series. Output terminals of the plurality of power units are connected to each other in parallel. The local controllers are electrically connected to the power units respectively. Each local controller controls an operation of switching devices in the corresponding power unit. Each local controller receives an input capacitor voltage on an input capacitor of the corresponding power unit, an input reference voltage and an output voltage of the power converter. In each power unit and the corresponding local controller, when an input difference between the input reference voltage and the input capacitor voltage is smaller than a first set value, the local controller controls a switching frequency of the switching devices in the corresponding power unit to jump to a preset frequency.

  • Patent number: 11223285
    Abstract: A method for controlling a DC-DC conversion system having power conversion modules, input sensors, an output sensor and a controller, in which each of the power conversion modules has one or more conversion units. The output sensor detects an output signal of the DC-DC conversion system. The input sensors detect input voltage signals located at series-connected first sides of one or more conversion units respectively. The controller receives the output signal and the input voltage signals. The controller generates a first control signal according to the output signal and an output reference signal. The controller generates second control signals according to the input voltage signals and input reference voltage signals. The controller outputs a modulation signal corresponding to a corresponding one of the second control signals according to the first control signal and the corresponding second control signal, to control switches of a corresponding conversion unit.
