description This paper presents a dual active bridge DC/DC converter used as an AC current compensator in a hybrid energy storage application. The AC current in the DC link appears when a three-phase, four-wire inverter operates with unbalanced output currents—for example, when trying to compensate for grid voltage unbalance. This AC current has adverse effects on the operation of the electrochemical energy storage, and it should be compensated. To achieve this, a compensator is introduced into the DC link circuit of the inverter—a DC/DC converter with a capacitor bank. The DC/DC converter is responsible for compensating the AC pulsation by creating its own pulsation with the opposite phase. In the paper, the genesis of this pulsation is explained, and a compensation circuit is proposed along with a sensorless compensation algorithm. The algorithm is based on symmetrical decomposition and is used to generate a reference signal for the compensator. The numerical analysis of the algorithm is presented, and the operation of the compensator is verified on the laboratory bench.
