The invention discloses a dual-active-bridge converter for
low voltage and high power and a control method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of dual-active-bridge
converters, and the dual-active-bridge converter comprises a low-
voltage full-bridge switch, a high-
voltage full-bridge switch, a high-frequency
transformer, a boost
inductor LBoost, an external series
inductor Lseries, a low-rated-current clamping
diode Dclamp1 and a low-rated-current clamping
diode Dclamp2. The power supply is connected in parallel with the
filter capacitor CLV; the
filter capacitor CLV is connected in series with the boost
inductor LBoost, and the other end of the boost inductor LBoost is connected with a common node of the low-
voltage full-bridge switch; the
secondary side of the high-frequency
transformer is led out through a
center tap, the upper portion and the lower portion of the high-frequency
transformer are connected with a low-rated-current clamping
diode Dclamp1 and a low-rated-current clamping diode Dclamp2 respectively, and meanwhile one end of the
secondary side of the high-frequency transformer is connected with an external series inductor Lseries and then connected with the high-voltage full-bridge switch. The dual phase shift modulation (DPSM) can improve the performance of the converter under
light load, and has the advantages of few components,
simple circuit and the like.
