Paralleling of LLC Resonant Converters

Journal Article · · IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics

The LLC resonant converter is a popular, variable switching frequency DC-DC converter that may be controlled using two methods: charge and frequency control. In this paper, the application of LLC resonant converters to input-parallel, output-parallel system is studied. In this respect, the models of output-port I-V characteristics and small-signal output impedance of the charge controlled LLC converter are proposed. In addition, a mathematical framework is developed for droop-based paralleled DC-DC systems. Here, it distinctly identifies the output DC voltage and circulating current modes of stability, even in systems comprising of non-identical converters.
