Abstract

Aiming at deficiencies of output voltage distortion and circulating current generation caused by dead-time effect in the modulation process, a simple and feasible dead time compensation strategy is presented. Firstly, the influence of dead-time effect on the output voltage of bridge is analysed, and a dead time compensation strategy is added between the modulation signal and dead time procession. According to the current direction of the bridge, the rising edge or falling edge of the driving signal is selectively delayed to compensate for dead-time effect. Secondly, an Optimized Triple Phase-shift (OTPS) modulation strategy is adopted with minimizing leakage inductor current Root-Mean-Square (RMS) control, which minimizes current stress, achieves soft-switching operation, avoids phase-shift errors caused by Dead-Time Effect, and optimizes control performance of DC-DC converters. Finally, simulated and experimental results are added to verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method.
