Small Signal Modeling of LLC Converter with LED Load and Quasi-Resonant Controller Based Active Ripple Rejection

Abstract

This paper has analyzed the defects of the traditional extended description function (EDF) based LLC small signal modeling method when driving light emitting diode (LED) load and proposed an accuracy improvement method. Detailed small signal model modeling methods have been deduced, and the accuracy of different modeling methods has been compared thoroughly. To suppress the second-order harmonic ripple in the direct current link-induced output current ripple, a quasi-resonant controller (QRC) is adopted to realize active ripple rejection (ARR). Considering the frequency of the second-order harmonic ripple changes with the grid voltage frequency, a single-phase software phase lock loop (SPLL) is adopted to extract the frequency of the second-order harmonic. By dynamically regulating the control parameter of the QRC according to the locked second-order frequency, output voltage ripple active rejection ability immune to grid voltage frequency deviation is obtained. Based on the deduced accurate small signal model, the digital controller is designed with stability, steady state and dynamics performance guaranteed. The accuracy of the proposed small signal model, the SPLL and the QRC-based ARR method has been verified at last.
