6 Conclusion
In order to improve both efficiency and the output dynamic response of DAB DC-DC converters, a hybrid control scheme combining the extend-phase-shift control and direct power control is proposed in this paper. For DAB DC-DC converter applications, the proposed EPSDPC, the EPS-TVL and the SPS-TVL schemes are analyzed and compared in detail. A scale-down experimental prototype test is utilized to compare performances of these three control schemes and verify benefits of the proposed EPS-DPC. The conducted studies conclude that the proposed EPS-DPC scheme has following salient features:
1) EPS-DPC scheme can achieve the best dynamic performance under start-up process, input voltage fluctuation, and load disturbance circumstances when compared with SPS-TVL and EPS-TVL.
2) EPS-DPC, as well as EPS-TVL, can realize higher converter efficiency than SPS-TVL, especially in relatively high input voltage conditions.
