Current optimal control method for three-phase dual active bridge converter in light load conditions

Abstract

Three-phase dual active bridge converter has many performance advantages, and is widely used in electric vehicle charging, battery energy storage system, power electronic transformer, and other energy conversion occasions. However, in the traditional control method, it has the problem of low efficiency under light load conditions. In this paper, firstly, the power and current expressions of the converter under light load conditions are solved by time-domain analysis, and an optimal current control method under light load conditions is proposed. This control method can simultaneously realize the minimum inductance current stress and RMS. Finally, the effectiveness of this method is verified by experiments.
