Dual active bridge DC-DC converter summary At V/nV g = 1 (DCX), waveforms are close to ideal if F << 1 ZVS of all semiconductors for loads greater than a minimum ZVS can be extended to lighter loads by adjusting conversion ratio Phase shift can be used to control the conversion ratio (non-dcx operation) High step-down, or high step-up conversion ratios feasible at high efficiencies (well above 90%). Bidirectional power flow is possible For standard unidirectional applications, the secondary-side bridge can be just diodes (operation is similar, but not the same) Half-bridge and push-pull variations are available Some DAB issues: Transformer saturation (may require a series blocking capacitor) Switching frequency trade-offs (F << 1; transformer and inductor core and proximity losses) Significant new developments in Power Electronics based on emerging compound semiconductor (elements from 2 or more groups of the periodic table) devices (e.g. GaN, GaAs, SiC) 9
