Synchronization of the switching action of hysteresis current controlled parallel connected power electronics systems

摘要

A method and apparatus for operation of an electrical power conversion system having first and second partial systems connected in parallel. Each partial system includes an inductor and an electronic switch for controlling electrical power transferred through the partial systems. A control circuit controls operation of the electronic switches. The control circuit includes devices for generating a first control signal error and a second control signal error as a function of a reference and current flowing in the inductors. Hysteresis devices receive the first and second control signal errors and provide first and second outputs, respectively, upon intersection of the first and second control signal errors with selected threshold values. Delay devices coupled to the electronic switches receive and delay transmission of the first and second outputs to the electronic switches.
