Abstract—
By inserting a small inductor between the transformer center tap and the midpoint of two split output capacitors in the dual active bridge (DAB) topology, this paper proposes a modified DAB converter for wide-input applications. A hybrid phase-shift (HPS) control scheme is proposed to allow all power switches to achieve practical ZVS over the full operating range; thereby, significantly minimizing the switching losses and alleviating electromagnetic interference. Moreover, the proposed control scheme does not significantly increase the conduction losses in comparison with the extended phase-shift (EPS) control. Therefore, the modified DAB can operate efficiently. The topology derivation and description are first presented. Then, the EPS and triple phase-shift (TPS) modulations are applied, and the corresponding operating principles and characteristics, including the soft-switching, power transfer, and root-mean-square current, are investigated in detail. To achieve practical ZVS operation of all switches over full operating range, while minimizing the conduction losses, the EPS and TPS are combined, and an HPS control scheme is proposed. Finally, experimental results from a 1.4-kW converter prototype with 200–400-V input and 400-V output are presented to verify the feasibility and advantages of the converter and control.
