Interleaved LLC resonant converters are widely used in various fields. However, interleaved LLC converters under Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) will lose the regulation of individual phases, causing a load sharing problem. Existing load sharing solutions have limitations; for example, phase shedding and current sharing cannot be realized at the same time. This paper proposed a novel current sharing method for interleaved full-bridge LLC resonant converters. Based on Zero-Vector-Injection, the voltage applied to the resonant tank is controlled to compensate for the difference in gain caused by component tolerance. The modulation strategy is proposed to maintain soft switching after Zero-Vector-Injection, and the phase shedding technique is also used to improve the efficiency at a light load. The detailed theoretical analysis and implementation method are proposed and validated using simulations. Experiments are also carried out to verify the feasibility of the proposed strategy based on a 2-phase 1.8 kW prototype.

The research object is the electromagnetic processes in the semiconductor power converters based on the schemes with circuit commutation and containing resonant circuits of reactive elements and transformers with a small coupling coefficient. The research aim is to develop a technology for a fast wireless battery charging for the use in clean energy vehicles, which would be based on a resonant converter with a pulse-count adjustment with a phase shift control. The latter provides a high energy performance in a wide range of regulation and a low sensitivity to changes in the magnetic system parameters. This is a final report. The report presents the results of the work performed in accordance with the Terms of Reference for the second stage of the scientific and research work. The following theoretical problems have been solved: development of a mathematical model of a series resonant converter with a pulse-count adjustment for contactless inductive energy transmission, which provided a high accuracy for the studies of the electromagnetic processes in the power section of multi-circuit resonant converters for contactless energy transmission, as well as an opportunity to assess the energy parameters of multi-circuit converters at pulse-count adjustment; compilation of mathematical dependencies of the average input and output current values on the number of half-cycles of resonant oscillations during energy transmission to the circuit and energy dissipation, the supply voltage and the resonant circuit’s parameters, which allowed assessing the converter’s energy parameters over a wide control range; compilation of the dependencies of the converter’s output power and coefficient of efficiency on the number of halfcycles of resonant oscillations during energy transmission to the circuit and energy dissipation, on supply voltage and on the resonant circuit’s parameters, which made it possible to evaluate the efficiency of the pulse-count adjustment of resonant converters for contactless energy transmission; realization of a dynamic model of a resonant converter for contactless energy transmission in the form of transfer functions for small disturbances caused by fluctuations in supply voltage, which made it possible to estimate the effect of its instability on the quality of output current stabilization.
