Nowadays, dual-active-bridge (DAB) DC/DC converter is widely used for its high power density and flexible operation mode. However, complex control variables and high reflux power are the main disadvantages of the system, which have become its development bottleneck. In view of this, this paper presents an in-depth analysis of the impacts of three phase-shifting degrees of freedom on the transmission power and effective values of the inductive current based on the triple-phase-shift (TPS) control strategy by deducing the relationship equations between the three degrees of freedom and the other two variables in the TPS control system. Based on the equations, the method of using the multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm to optimize three phase shift angles is proposed, which cannot only improve the convergence speed of the optimal phase shift angle but also be ideal for solving nonlinear problems. The experimental results show that this method can improve the transmission power and reduce the effective value of inductive current. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
