Effects of nonidealities in switching frequency modulation techniques: Application to coupled interleaved multicellular parallel converters

摘要

This paper explores the application of the Variable Delay Frequency Modulation (VDFM) to an Interleaved Multicellular Parallel converter. VDFM is a modulation technique specially intended to reduce conducted EMI generated by parallel converters. This technique combines interleaving and frequency modulation in such a way that provides the best attenuation. On the other hand, Coupled Interleaved Multicelular Parallel Converters (CIMPC) needs a perfect current sharing among phases. In this paper we consider the effect of VDFM nonidealities on the EMI attenuation in order to consider the application of this technique to CIMPC.
