Abstract

The electromagnetic detection method is the main method of marine oil and gas resource exploration, and the marine electromagnetic transmitter is the key equipment of marine electromagnetic detection systems. At present, the power factor of the controllable source circuit of the electromagnetic transmitter is low, energy cannot be fed back, and the capacitance of the filter capacitor is large, which results in a large volume of the electromagnetic transmitter and high maintenance costs. Thus, a cascaded H-bridge controllable source circuit combined with active power decoupling technology is introduced in this paper. First, the topological structure and working principle of the controllable source circuit of the electromagnetic transmitter are analyzed, and an improvement plan is proposed for the existing problems of the controllable source circuit. Second, the working principle of the improved controllable source circuit is analyzed, and the advantages of the improved scheme are expounded. Then a control strategy based on linear active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) is proposed, and a linear ADRC controller is designed. Simulation results show that the improved controllable source circuit reduces the capacitance value, improves the power factor, reduces the volume of the underwater towing body, and reduces the maintenance cost of the system. The proposed control strategy makes the DC voltage have better anti-disturbance performance, and improves the reliability of the electromagnetic transmitter in deep sea exploration.
