| Popis: | Along the advances of wide-bandgap power devices, the pulse width modulation (PWM) converters are developing towards higher switching frequencies in recent years. Accurate estimation of the high-frequency power losses of magneticcomponents, the core loss in particular, has been a challenge for PWM converters. While the conventional approaches based on Steinmetz Equation lose the accuracy in PWM excitations, the “loss map” approach has been proposed recently as a practical method to accurately estimate the inductor core loss. To calculate the core loss, the inputs of the loss map need to be retrieved from the steady-state inductor voltage/current waveforms. As a supplement to the loss map approach, this work proposes an analytical method to rapidly generate the inputs (inductoroperating space) for the loss map to replace the efforts in building simulation models and experimental rigs. The proposed approach relies on the operation and modulation principles of PWM converters and enables computerized calculation of the operating space and the inductor core loss. The proposed approach is developed for both 2-level and 3-level converters and validated by experiments. The results reveal that a 3-level converter running the same inductor generates less than half the core loss compared to a 2-level converter, when the maximum current ripple is kept equivalent. The proposed approach is based on the operation principles of the converter topology and therefore can be appliedgenerally regardless of the core material or the design of the inductor, as long as the loss map of the inductor is pre-produced. |
