Abstract: In the new energy DC microgrid system, most of the new energy outputs DC power with a low voltage level and a large fluctuation range, which cannot be directly connected to the network. It needs to be boosted by a DC–DC converter, then connected to the power grid or supplied with a DC load. On the premise that the traditional DC–DC converter cannot meet the requirements of high-power applications, the interleaved dual boost converter (IDBC) has been widely used because of its low input current ripple, low device stress and high-power density. It is necessary to maintain the current balance of each phase of the converter during a heavy load and to improve the efficiency during a light load. This paper analyzes the working principle of the six-phase IDBC and reduces the high order model to the low order model according to the symmetry. Due to the current imbalance caused by the mismatch of the parasitic parameters of each phase, two current distribution strategies are designed for different operating. To balance the current of each phase when the converter is overloaded, the relationship between the phase current, parasitic parameters and duty cycle is analyzed based on the state space average method. The estimated parasitic parameters are used to obtain the duty cycle compensation of each phase to eliminate the current imbalance. In addition, to improve the overall efficiency of the converter when the converter connects with a light load, the optimal power distribution coefficient is obtained according to the parasitic parameters to achieve the optimization of the input power, so as to improve the efficiency of the converter. Finally, the simulation results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
