Control system and method for dual active bridge DC/DC converters

摘要: Control system and method for controlling power flow in dual active bridge converters. The control system comprises a compensator, a feedback unit, and a modulator. An outer loop provides a reference signal. The output of the compensator are the control parameters for the modulator. The feedback unit samples the transformer current once every half switching cycle to thereby determine a power level. The power level is used to determine a modulation technique to apply. The modulation technique is one of phase-shift modulation (PSM), variable duty cycle modulation (VDM), or triangular current mode modulation (TCM).
