Autor: Seema Mir Akbar, Ammar Hasan, Alan J. Watson, Pat Wheeler

Publikováno v: IEEE Access, Vol 9, Pp 98603-98614 (2021)

A fast dynamic response is one of the key demands for the dual active bridge (DAB) dc-dc converter to achieve a well-regulated output voltage over a wide range of operating conditions. Recently, model predictive control (MPC) has become a promising a

FEA based Transformer Loss Analysis for Dual Active Bridge DC-DC Converter using Triple Phase Shift Modulation

Autor: Seema Mir Akbar, Ammar Hasan, Alan J. Watson, Pat Wheeler

High frequency transformers are a key component of dual active bridge (DAB) dc-dc converters, providing isolation and voltage scaling. The losses in the transformer should be minimized to improve efficiency and extend lifetime. The existing research
