Control of DMC-Based LLC Resonant Converters

LLC resonant converters own high power efficiency and density, and are widely used in electric vehicles, intelligent and communication power sources, and other fields. The converters cannot obtain accurate mathematical models and their nonlinear characteristics are complex. Therefore, traditional proportional-integral (PI) control cannot achieve control effect well. The dynamic matrix control (DMC) strategy was applied to the converter model, aiming to improve the system’s dynamic response and reduce overshoot. In addition, the DMC algorithm was used in this study to achieve precise system control. The algorithm is robust, and can improve the system’s stability and reliability. At the same time, the system can be flexibly controlled through parameter adjustment. Furthermore, a voltage prediction closed-loop controller was designed to enhance the system’s dynamic performance. In addition, a simulation model was built based on this to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the scheme. The simulation results showed that the DMC algorithm suppressed overshoot and improved dynamic response effectively.
