Three-Level DC-DC Controlled-Source Circuit of Marine Electromagnetic Detection Transmitter

الملخص EN

Nowadays, marine electromagnetic method is a geophysical method which can effectively explore natural gas hydrate (NGH) resources.

This method acquires seafloor structure and distribution laws of mineral resources by transmitting high-power electromagnetic waves to the seafloor, and its detection depth relies on the intensity of transmitted electromagnetic waves.

At present, marine electromagnetic transmitter is not proper for transmission of high-power electromagnetic waves, and therefore, a novel controlled-source circuit of soft switching three-level marine electromagnetic transmitter is proposed in this paper, one step-down winding is added at the secondary side of high-frequency transformer in series connection with a linear inductor, asymmetric phase-shift PWM control is used, and soft switching of controlled-source circuit within the overall power range is realized.

A detailed analysis of the operation process and circuit characteristics is given, and finally, a prototype is designed.

Experimental results indicate that this circuit is of wide ZVS range and high efficiency, and it meets requirements for deep-sea detection of high-voltage power supply transmitter.
