NTRODUCTON Nowadays, wth the growth of electrc demand and the regulaton of energy suly, the occurrence of outage s ncreasng n many countres. Extended run tme UPS (Unnterrutble Power Suly) systems could be used to overcome these roblems []. There are several ways of rovdng the extended run tme, but most common solutons today are stll the use of desel generator and batteres. Comarng wth desel generators and batteres, fuel cells and suercaactors hybrd UPS system can convert the chemcal otental of the hydrogen nto electrc ower drectly, wth consequent hgh converson effcency and ossblty to obtan the extended range wth the combustble feed from the outsde []. Durng the fuel cell startng u or load requrement transent, the suercaactor can be used as the bufferng ower source. The UPS block dagram researched n ths aer s shown n Fg.. We could fnd that the bdrectonal DC-DC converter s to control the ower flow from the energy sources and load and s key stage n the system. For hgh voltage rato alcaton, transformer couled and solated b-drectonal DC converters have been roosed such as dual actve brdge (DAB) [3], [4], [5] [6], dual actve half brdge [7], [8], [9], full brdge current fed [0], [] and ther dervatves [], [3], [4]. And the ower flow could be controlled under the hase-shft modulaton. To mrove the system effcency as well as ncrease the range of oeraton for the large-range-changeable nut voltage, some SCs L f S S 4 Fgure. Voltage-fed full brdge wth voltage doubler dc-dc converter modulaton schemes such as trangular modulaton, traezodal modulaton and PWM lus hase-shft modulaton are nvestgated n [5], [6], [7] and [8], wth addng the duty rato as a modulated arameter. n ths aer, the voltage-fed full brdge wth voltage doubler b-drectonal dc-dc converter, shown n Fg., wth hase-shft modulaton and hase-shft wth duty cycle control s nvestgated. All the swtches n the converter can mlement turn-on under ZVS.

B-DRECTONAL CONVERTER A. Stable oeraton mode When the fuel cell has been started u, the system works n the stable oeraton mode (Mode ) under V V o /N. The gated and conductng swtches durng the varous oeratng ntervals of the b-drectonal dc-dc converter shown n Fg. are lsted n the Table. And the tycal waveforms are shown n Fg. 3. Durng the nterval t 0 <t<t and t <t<t 3 the resultant mmf exceeds the value needed to establsh the rated core flux, unlke normal transformer oeraton, and the wndng current changes radly and causes hgh RMS value.

The Vc wll decrease from V cnormal to V cstable, and V cnormal V cstable. To extend the ZVS range, n ths mode, hase-shft wth duty rato control s used (Mode ). The defnton of the duty rato and tycal oeratng waveforms are shown n Fg. 4. Because of the close-loo control, the outut voltage s assume to be constant; thus the HV sde oerates n the D0.5, square-wave mode. nut voltage vares, so we add the duty rato n the rmary sde, and calculate the duty cycle as: D V V cstable o d. (9) π V 4NV Accordng to (9), the duty rato s nversely roortonal to the voltage. f the V equals to V cstable, then D0.5 and crcut translates to Mode.

Block dagram of the closed-loo control scheme effcency, so the system s not sutable to work n Mode for long erod. The system can realze the seamless converson between the dfferent modes. But as mentoned above, the load dsturbance wll cause v changed and lead system to Mode where eak current s hgh. To avod the chatterng between the two modes, a mode selecton method wth the hysteress comarator s aled, shown n Fg. 5. C. Parameters From (7), the control varable, δ, s non-lnear relatonsh wth the outut ower or the outut voltage. So t s more comlcated to choose the arameters. Accordng to the aer [9], the hase shft should be restrcted to less than 0.75.u. (.u. reresents 80 degrees) to avod large reactve ower crculatng wthn ower stage whch causes large loss. That wll lmt the ower could be delvered as well as the arameters: the nductance of L, swtchng frequency and turns rato n. The ZVS regon and boundares are analyzed n [4], [6]. At the rated load, the all swtches could be oerated under the ZVS condton. But the hgh RMS value and eak currents on the rmary sde of the ower converter reresented the bg challenge and lmted the effcency n system desgn. The RMS value of the current n the swtch n rmary sde s as: δ ( 3( ) 4 ). () s 3 3π To otmzed desgn to lmt the value n (), the nductor and turns rato are carefully selected. nductor value drectly affects the ower delvery caablty and turns rato affects the haseshft angle, whch affects the reactve ower and ower losses. For gven outut voltage and ower, the Fg. 6 shows the relatonsh of the s, RMS value of the current n swtch n rmary sde, N and L. n the range of N and L beng both smaller, the s changes dramatcally. Select the arameters as: n 4.5, L 9uH at V 50V, V o 400V, P o kw. Because the V s changed durng the fuel cell stack start-u erod and nstantaneous load dsturbance, the relatonsh of nut voltage varaton and s s shown n Fg. 6. We can fnd that when oerate the converter based on the arameters we have chosen, the s s not very senstve to nut voltage varaton when the nut voltage s 50V around, but when the nut voltage s near to 00V, the s wll be bgger and we should change the oeraton mode there. s (A) N L (uh) L (0-5 H) v (V) Fgure 6.

scheme used n ths aer. n (), when hase-shft angle equals to zero, the LV sde swtches are under duty cycle control and HV sde swtches are under synchronous rectfyng oeraton, so at the frst ulse of V wth the duty cycle of d, the eak value of, f, s exressed as: V π f d.

Closed loo controller desgn Equaton (7) and () ndcate that V o s not roortonal to the hase-shft angle drectly, but under δ < 0. 75.u. t s lnear control regon of the hase-shft for the converter, aroxmately. Snce the voltage on the suercaactor vares very slow comarng wth the swtchng frequency, so t a very slow dsturbance to the whole system and under the closed-loo oeraton, n the Mode, the d s nversely roortonal to the suercaactor voltage, so d can also be vewed as a very slow dsturbance. The system s control dagram s shown n Fg. 7. A load current redctve PD control wth ant-wndu rotecton s used n the system. n the scheme, the v and o are measured. t s necessary to measure v to realze the mode selecton and avod over-voltage and under-voltage. For the load sensor, t s useful to montor over-current and outut ower, to lmt the ower from fuel cells. As o load, so the load s consdered as the frst erturbaton value of the system to the outut of the P controller through the T f, and v, the voltage on the suercaactor stacks, s consdered as a very slow dsturbance to the system, where T f contans the equaton (7) but n ths aer the functon obtaned through the measured results on the rototye because of loss n the system. The ant-wndu rotecton s helful to revent the saturaton of the ntegrator to mrove the stablty of the system, where K a should be n the same order wth K /τ. Added the small-sgnal dsturbance n (9), the small-sgnal transfer functons are: ˆ V ( π δ ) o G ( ) ˆ δ 4πωNL G t std Rc G c sr C c where T d Tsamle Tm T, defned n [4], and T r samle s the samlng tme of the rocessor system. The tme delay T m s the delay tme caused by the modulator and equal toπ / ω, and T contans the remanng delay tmes. We can get the R r c by aralleled dschargng resstor n C and the resstor of vrtual load. Wth the same method, G () s derved from (0), by addng the small-sgnal dsturbance wth on-lne calculated duty cycle. The smulaton results based on Matlab are shown n Fg. 8. The smulaton arameters are: V 50V, V o 400V, and the outut ower set u from kw to.5kw at 0.5 second wth the 3 3 K 3.05 0 rad / V, K 5 0 rad / V. Addng the load current feedback control wll mrove the system dynamc erformance. V.
