Abstract:

This paper presents a hybrid control strategy for a dual active bridge (DAB) based dc-dc converter which combines the benefits of traditional phase shift and burst mode modulation schemes. The advantage of using such a control strategy stems from the fact that it can extend the zero voltage switching (ZVS) range of all power switches in both the primary and secondary bridges when there is a wide variation in input or output voltage. In addition, the hybrid control strategy improves the light load efficiency of the DAB converter. The paper focuses on the development of the average and small signal models for the DAB converter with the hybrid modulation scheme. Digital implementation considerations of the hybrid control scheme are discussed. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy has been tested and validated through simulations and experiments.
