Voltage Control Method in Non-linear Dead-time Effect Region for Dual Active Bridge DC-DC Converter

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper proposes a voltage control method for a Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter with three-level operation in the dead-time effect region. The non-linear transmission power error is reduced by controlling the zero current phase to the dead-time or more because the nonlinear error of the transmission power occurs when the inductor current reaches zero during the dead-time. In addition, the voltage control is operated under the linear region which is decided from the output current and the zerovoltage period. The validation of the proposed method is confirmed by a 2.3-kW prototype. In the experiments, the non-linear error in the transmission power is reduced by 76.3%. The linearity between a control variable and an output current is confirmed. In addition, a load step between two modes of three-level operation is achieved without the dc offset in the inductor current. Moreover, the RMS value of the inductor current is reduced by 50.2% compared with the conventional triangular modulation.
