Abstract:
The interleaved parallel topology of the dc–dc converter can increase the load capacity and reduce the ripple. However, the multiphase control system requires many current sensors, which increases the software/hardware cost. To solve this problem, this article proposes a dual time-scale model predictive control (DMPC) algorithm based on a single current sensor. First, the current estimator replaces current sensors to measure the unbalanced branch currents and reduce hardware complexity. Then, a DMPC algorithm is proposed to reduce the parallel computational complexity of the controller. Furthermore, a parameter identification module dynamically updates the current estimator and controller to further increase the system’s accuracy. This method reduces the software/hardware complexity while ensuring control effectiveness. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified on a three-phase buck converter.
