Research on a Self-Coupling PID Control Strategy for a ZVS Phase-Shift Full-Bridge Converter

As an important part of the high-frequency switching power supply, the control accuracy of the phase-shift full-bridge converter directly affects the efficiency of the switching power supply. To improve the stability and antidisturbance ability of phase-shift control systems, this article presents a dual closed-loop control system based on Self-Coupling PID (SC-PID) control and applies the SC-PID control strategy to the voltage control of the phase-shift full-bridge converter. To begin with, in response to the contradiction of traditional PID, SC-PID breaks the limitation of PID control by introducing a new control idea instead of weighted summation of each gain, which fundamentally solves the contradiction between overshoot and rapidity. Then, using the dimension attributes between gains to develop new tuning rules to solve the system load disturbance, output voltage deviation from the reference value, and other problems, the purpose is to ensure the stability of the output voltage and improve the control effect. At the same time, the stability of the whole control system is analyzed in the complex frequency domain. Finally, with the same main circuit and parameters, three types of controllers are built separately, and using MATLAB for simulation comparison, the simulation results show that the control system based on SC-PID has better steady-state accuracy, faster response, and better robustness, which proves the feasibility of the SC-PID control idea.
