Modeling and Nonlinear Characteristics Analysis of Fluorescent Lamp Driven by a Full-Bridge Inverter.

Addressing the issue of system stability is a crucial step towards the successful integration of memristive devices in power electronics applications. This paper focuses on fluorescent lamps possessing memristive characteristics and investigates the instability phenomena and mechanisms within a full-bridge inverter with a fluorescent lamp load. Based on the memristive characteristics of fluorescent lamps, this paper establishes the averaged model of the system, whose coefficient matrix is nonlinear, periodic, and time-varying. This study identifies the occurrence of low-frequency oscillations within the system and elucidates the fundamental mechanism underlying the emergence of low-frequency oscillations. Furthermore, this paper establishes the stability boundaries of the system across different parameter planes. The research findings indicate that the low-frequency oscillations within the system are attributed to the occurrence of Hopf bifurcations in a frequency range higher than line frequency but significantly lower than switching frequency. Lastly, the PSpice circuit of the system is designed, and simulation results are provided for validation. This study can offer guidance on parameters and control strategies for ensuring the stable operation of a full-bridge inverter with fluorescent lamps. Moreover, it can facilitate the comprehension of instability mechanisms in systems incorporating memristive devices, thereby offering a foundation for the expansion of memristor applications.
