Title: A static characteristic analysis of proposed bi-directional dual active bridge DC-DC converter
Abstract: Recently, the power supply network with energy storage devices such as battery has been focused. This network topology uses bi-directional isolated DC-DC converter of low or medium capacity is required for the diversification of power supply network. The dual active bridge (DAB) DC-DC converter is one of the effective bi-directional isolated DC-DC converters. However, the circuit has some instinct problems such as degradation of power efficiency and the occurrence of the surge in light-load operation. In this paper, we have been done a static characteristic analysis and highly power-efficient technique for DAB DC-DC Converter at light load. Also the analysis results and the proposed technique are verified with some experimental results.
