Frequency-doubling LLC Converter
Purpose
Frequency-doubling resonant LLC converter with synchronous rectification
Library
Electrical / Nanostep
Description
This component implements an isolated, resonant LLC converter. The input side is modeled as two series-connected half-bridges and the output side as a half-bridge rectifier with synchronous rectification.
The converter is simulated with time steps in the single-digit nanosecond range. The required Nanostep solver is available exclusively on the RT Box. Both sides of the converter have current source behavior and must each be connected directly to a capacitor or a voltage source. The implementation has a weight of 3, which means it occupies an entire Nanostep solver. For offline simulation, all power semiconductors in the converter are modeled with ideal switches. The individual switches are controlled with instantaneous logical gate signals. A switch is turned on when the corresponding gate signal is true.
Note
The voltage sources connected to the converter must not be short-circuited. Therefore, combinations of switching signals that cause shoot-through of the primary-side DC links are not permitted. Additionally, the DC voltage across a half-bridge must never become negative.
Parameters
- Leakage inductance
A non-zero scalar specifying the primary side leakage inductance of the transformer, in henries \((\mathrm{H})\).
- Winding resistance
A scalar specifying the resistance of the primary winding, in ohms \((\Omega)\).
- Resonant capacitance
A non-zero scalar for the resonant capacitance, in farads \((\mathrm{F})\).
- Magnetizing inductance
A non-zero scalar specifying the magnetizing inductance of the transformer, referred to the primary side, in henries \((\mathrm{H})\).
- Turns ratio
A scalar specifying the ratio of primary-side turns to secondary-side turns.
- Assertions
When set to
on, the block flags an error for combinations of gate signals that cause shoot-through. When set tooff, these errors are not checked during real-time simulation.
