A Dual Rising Edge Shift Algorithm for Eliminating the Transient DC-Bias Current in Transformer for a Dual Active Bridge Converter

This paper deals with a well-known problem of the transient DC-bias current occurring during a phase shift transition in dual active bridge (DAB) DC/DC converters. This phenomenon, if not compensated, can cause damage to the converter or deteriorate its performance. One aim of this paper is to prese...

description This paper deals with a well-known problem of the transient DC-bias current occurring during a phase shift transition in dual active bridge (DAB) DC/DC converters. This phenomenon, if not compensated, can cause damage to the converter or deteriorate its performance. One aim of this paper is to present a solution which allows for the elimination of the undesired transient DC-bias component in current waveforms. This solution is the dual rising edge shift (DRES) compensation algorithm. It provides a very simple implementation and fast settling time within the first half of a switching period. Moreover, the solution is independent on any measurements or system parameter values. It is based on the double-sided single phase shift (DSSPS) modulation, which is described in detail along with a converter model in steady-state. Then, the mechanisms leading to the transient DC-bias are explained, and the compensation algorithm is derived. The performance of the algorithm has been tested using a laboratory prototype. A comprehensive set of tests, involving rapid step changes in power flow and frequency sweep, are provided. Finally, the features of the proposed algorithm are briefly discussed.
