Adaptive droop control strategy of parallel LLC converters

When the resonant converters are connected in parallel, the output current is unbalanced without additional current-sharing measures due to differences in resonant component. In the input-parallel output-parallel resonant converter system, the output voltage accuracy of the converter under the traditional droop control is analyzed when the load changes. In this paper, an adaptive droop control is proposed, in which the droop coefficient is adaptively adjusted as the load changes. The control method proposed in this paper realizes the current sharing between the converters and solves the shortcomings of the output voltage changing under different loads in the conventional droop control. Taking two parallel LLC converters as an example, the control block diagram of the parallel control method for adaptive adjustment of the droop coefficient proposed in this paper is given, and the stability of the control loop is analyzed. Finally, two parallel prototypes of LLC converters with input 200 V/output 24 V input are built by digital control, and the experiment shows that the proposed control method improves the shortcomings of excessive output voltage droop caused by traditional droop control during dynamic load switching, which verifies the effectiveness of the method.
