VII CONCLUSION
Aimed at the parallel DAB modules in PETT, a model predictive control with current-stress-optimized (MPC-CSO) scheme based on dual-phase-shift (DPS) control is proposed to improve the dynamic performance and balance the transmission power. By combining the predictive control and CSO scheme, the dynamic response and the efficiency of DAB converters with transmission power self-balance can be improved at the same time when it faces with the following extreme conditions such as: start-up, load resistor step-change, input voltage step-change and the desired voltage step-change. A comprehensive experimental comparison of TVCL, traditional CSO and the proposed MPC-CSO schemes is adopted to show the salient features of the proposed MPC-CSO scheme, which can be concluded as:
1) It can always achieve transmission power balancing in various operation conditions even if the power of DAB cells steps up or down.
2) It can boost the output voltage to the desired value directly with no overshoot during start-up process.
3) It can achieve excellent dynamic response of DAB dc-dc converters under the input voltage fluctuation or load disturbance conditions, and the settling time is approximately to zero.
4) It can further improve the efficiency of DAB converters even though the same phase-shift control is adopted, especially for high voltage transfer ratio or light-load operation condition.
5) It can be extended to other phase-shift controls if the computation speed of the adopted digital controller is allowed.
