A linearized hybrid modulation scheme for the dual active bridge (DAB) converter is proposed in this article. For purpose of minimizing conduction losses dissipated on transformer and power transistors, an optimal relationship function between two control variables employed extended phase shift (EPS) can be derived. However, obtained a complex expression, which not good simple on-line control. ...

The newly developed phase-shift controlled bidirectional DC-DC converter has the conventional features of phase-shifted converters, including zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and constant switching frequency. However, it has been improved by developing a bi-directional power flow capability and applying synchronous rectification, hence the on-state voltmge drop of the active devices are small.

AbspuctThe saturable inductor is employed in the fullbridge (FB) zero-voltage-switched (ZVS) pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) converter to improve its performance. The current and voltage stresses of the switches as well as parasitic oscillations are significantly reduced compared to those of the conventional FBZVS-PWM converter. The qualitative analysis is presented and is verified on a 500 KHz, 5 V...

Detailed analysis and parameter design for a resistorcapacitor-diode (RCD) clamped snubber used in the output rectifier of phase-shift full-bridge zero-voltage-switching (PS-FB-ZVS) converters are presented. Design equations and some properties of the clamped circuit are highlighted.
