The proposed converter is based on the interleaving technique and the Dual Active Bridge (DAB) operation, applying the phase-shift control to regulate the power flow. In addition to topology, this article presents a control strategy for reducing low-frequency power ripples transferred to the secondary side without any additional component and hence maintaining overall size and cost. The single-phase OBC can interchange active power with the grid to charge batteries while performing grid-to-vehicle (G2V) functionality or transferring energy back to the grid via vehicle-to-grid (V2G) mode. The theoretical analysis of the converter including modulation strategy and feedback control scheme are presented. The proposed topology and control strategy have been verified by experimental re...

Most of papers that propose to study DAB converter, compare its performance by the rms value of the current in the primary of the transformer. This paper introduces this method of analysis and present a comparative study of the performance of single-phase-shift (SPS), extended-phase-shift (EPS) and dual-phase-shift (DPS) modulation schemes applied to the DAB converter, in terms of active and reactive power transfer by the fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis.

Although some practical solutions to make RCs stability conditions more flexible, methodologies for tuning these cannot be easily found. This paper presents a design method to tuning RCs, based on the use of sensitivity function together with phase margin as design tools. After presenting the design procedures, they were validated through experimental results.

However, there is not a complete correspondence between the converters since they present different operation principles. This work presents a comparison between the (HC½B) and the (HCHB). The converters are analyzed in their four-level versions, but the results are valid for other configurations. The comparison comprehends the power semiconductors, the generated voltages, the isolated dc supplies and the dc-link capacitors. It is shown that the main differences are with the dc link capacitors. Thus, these are analyzed in detail and a modeling procedure to design and compare them is proposed.

This proposed system allows the use of three-phase agricultural equipments. The system proposed is formed by two bidirectional three-phase PWM converters, easily found to acquire at local market. The energy processed by single-phase transformer is maximized due the use of the power factor correction technique at the input converter. The output voltages are free of harmonics and allow non-balanced loads. The control strategy and design procedure are presents to both rectifier and inverter stages. Finally, will be present the experimental results of the proposed feeding system.

The converter employs a conventional three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) linking series connected half-bridge modules at each phase. With the proposed connection, a large portion of energy can be processed by the VSI by employing a single multi-pulse rectifier, while smaller power shares are processed within the half-bridge modules. Thus, the requirements for galvanically insulated dc sources are reduced. Modularity is naturally achieved. A modulation scheme for a four-level version is proposed and analyzed in detail. This scheme allows unidirectional power flow in all dc sources and, consequently, enables diode bridges to be employed in the rectification input stage for unidirectional applications.

Two different modulation schemes are proposed: the hybrid modulation and the space vector modulation. The both modulation schemes can synthesize five voltage levels in the output phase voltage at the hybrid three-phase multilevel inverter with symmetrical dc sources. The modulation schemes operate the three-phase NPC in low-switching frequency and the half-bridge converters in high-switching frequency. Thus, semiconductors with low conduction losses can be used for three-phase NPC, decreasing the semiconductor losses. The hybrid three-phase multilevel inverter structure and modulation schemes are explained in detail and verified by simulation and experimental results.

Theoretical analysis shows why traditional reactivepower approaches are not fully effective in resistive grids. Power management is used to coordinate between active and reactive power for proper voltage regulation. The control strategy ensures voltage regulation with reactive and active power under a high R/X ratio and load change conditions. The control method is evaluated in a low-voltage distribution network, and the simulation results validate such method’s effectiveness.

Based on the equations of flying capacitors, an analytical method that represents the natural capacitor's voltage balancing is introduced. In this technique, the duty cycle of the switches is modified to control the voltage of the capacitors using a proportional integrative controller. This method considers the fact that current direction influences the capacitor's voltage balance. The controller generates small differences between the duty cycles of the switches, which change the charge process of the capacitors. Simulation and experimental implementation results show that the control is efficient, maintaining the capacitor's voltage regulated.
