Abstract
The LCL-type dual active bridge (LCL-DAB) DC-DC converter is a promising part for DC micro-grids due to its high voltage gain and low bridge current, but the issues of backflow power elimination and transient response optimization deserve attention in its operation. In this article, a virtual direct current control (VDCC) method of the LCL-DAB converter for fast transient response and no backflow power is proposed, which can eliminate the backflow power and improve the transient response against the input voltage and load disturbances. With dual-phase-shift (DPS) modulation scheme, the voltage-current characteristics are first analyzed using the phasor method. The small-signal mathematic model of the LCL-DAB converter is then established. The power characteristic is derived so the design regions of no backflow power can be graphed. On this basis, an appropriate outer phase shift ratio can be estimated to ensure a wide range of no backflow power operation. Moreover, a virtual voltage is generated to compensate in the control loop, thus the transient response against disturbances of the LCL-DAB converter can be improved under no backflow power. Simulation and prototype experimental results are presented to verify the feasibility of the proposed VDCC method.
