Large- and Small-Signal Average-Value Modeling of Dual-Active-Bridge DC?DC Converter Considering Power Losses.

Average-value modeling (AVM) provides an efficient way to study power electronic systems in large- and small-signal senses. This paper presents a new reduced-order AVM for dual-active-bridge dc–dc converters. The proposed model considers the conduction and transformer power losses as well as the input/output filters, which may be very useful for system-level studies. Based on the large-signal AVM, the small-signal model and the control-to-output transfer function are also derived. The proposed AVM is compared with the full-order generalized average model and the detailed model in predicting large-signal transients and small-signal analysis in the frequency domain. The experimental results confirm that the proposed model yields a high accuracy, which represents an improvement over other existing models. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
