Closed-Loop Control of DC-DC Dual Active Bridge Converters Driving Single-Phase Inverters
Abstract
The solid state transformer (SST) is a high-frequency power electronic converter as a distribution power transformer. A common three-stage configuration of an SST consists of ac-dc rectifier, isolated dc-dc dual-active-bridge (DAB) converter, and dc-ac inverter. This work addresses the controller design issue for a dc-dc DAB converter when driving a regulated single-phase dc-ac inverter. Since the switching frequency of the inverter stage is much higher than that of the DAB stage, the single-phase inverter is modelled as a 120-Hz current sink. The effect of 120-Hz current by the single-phase inverter is studied. The limitation of PI-controller, low gain at 120 Hz, is investigated. Two methods are proposed to improve the regulation of the output voltage of DAB converters. The first one uses a bandstop filter and feedforward, while the second method uses an additional proportional-resonant controller in the feedback loop. Theoretical analysis, simulation and experiment results are provided.
