Abstract

Asymmetric duty modulation (ADM), as a recently proposed modulation scheme, provides new chance to improve the performance of dual active bridge (DAB) converter. On this basis, an optimal ADM (OADM) scheme is proposed in this article to minimize the inductor peak-To-peak current over the whole voltage and power range. First, the DAB converter adopting ADM scheme is analyzed in frequency-domain and time-domain, and four operating modes are established. Then, the minimum peak-To-peak inductor current for each operating mode is obtained under Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition, and the corresponding optimal closed-loop control with low calculation complexity is derived. Then, the key values and features of the OADM scheme are compared with recent state of the art, mainly including the inductor root mean square current and soft-switching performance. Finally, an experimental prototype was built to validate the efficiency enhancement of the converter by adopting the proposed OADM scheme.
