Phase shift control of dual active bridge DC‐DC converter based on feedforward compensation and transient optimization strategy.

Summary: In the context of the dual active bridge (DAB) bidirectional DC‐DC converter using the traditional dual‐phase‐shift (DPS) control method, a transient DC bias occurs during power co‐direction and commutation conversion. This bias negatively impacts the converter's transient performance and can lead to harsh effects, such as hard switching problems, resulting in power loss and excessive current stress. In a closed‐loop control system, poor transient response may destroy the stability of the converter. In this paper, the transient‐optimized‐dual‐phase‐shift (TODPS) control strategy is proposed to eliminate the transient DC bias and to maintain soft switching during transient states. It reduces power loss, eliminates excessive current stress, and allows for smooth transitions between single‐phase‐shift (SPS) and DPS control strategies without introducing DC bias. A closed‐loop control system based on TODPS control is established with feed‐forward compensation to adjust the primary‐side current and modify transmission power. This adjustment enhances the transient performance of the DAB converter. The proposed strategy is versatile and applicable to various power conversion scenarios involving DAB converters. It enables quick switching of the magnitude and direction of the primary‐side current during transient states, resulting in a smooth transient effect without noticeable overshoot or oscillation. The experiment results verify the effectiveness of the proposed transient optimization strategy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
