Investigative study on peak current reduction with unified phase shifting technique in DAB converter
摘要
This study optimizes the unified phase shift technique to minimize peak current in Dual-Active-Bridge (DAB) converters, enhancing efficiency and reliability. Utilizing a 2.4 kW prototype, this research employs a three-degree-of-freedom control strategy, leveraging the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker optimization method to identify optimal phase shift configurations that reduce current stress and improve overall efficiency. A comprehensive analysis of various cases reveals that proper optimization is crucial to surpassing two-degree-of-freedom performance. The study provides valuable insights into the unified phase shift technique's potential, clarifying trade-offs between efficiency, peak current, and control complexity, and facilitating the design of more efficient and reliable DAB converters through optimal phase shift determination by mathematical, simulation and experimental validations.
