A Bidirectional Power Control Scheme Based on Global Current Stress Optimization for Dual Active Bridge DC-DC Converters

To reduce the current stress in the whole operating area and improve the dynamic performance switching between different operating points of the dual-active-bridge (DAB) converter, a bidirectional power control (BPC-GCSO) scheme based on the global current stress optimization is proposed in this paper. The global current stress optimal solution (GCSO) set is first derived for the DAB converter, which enables the DAB converter to realize the minimum current stress at any operating point. Then, a virtual direct power control method is introduced based on the GCSO scheme and a bidirectional power control (BPC) strategy is designed. To validate the proposed scheme, a simulation experimental environment is built on the MATLAB/Simulink platform, and the simulation results prove the feasibility of the proposed method.
