Abstract

In this digest, a stacked-bridge-based dual-active-bridge (DAB) converter is proposed for bidirectional power transfer in 800-V dc bus applications. With the stacked bridge structure, the voltage stress of switches on the high-voltage side can be reduced by half. Therefore, MOSFETs with lower voltage ratings can be applied to high-voltage applications. Moreover, an asymmetric pulse-width modulation (APWM) plus phase shift modulation (PSM) hybrid modulation scheme is applied to realize a general voltage match. Awider zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) range can be achieved over a wide voltage range. To verify the concept, a 1-kW rated prototype is designed to link an 800V dc bus and a 100V-200V energy storage unit.
