Abstract
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the distributed generation system is an approach worth investigating. With fewer switches, the push-pull circuits are suited for low-voltage and high-current applications, such as the distributed generation system. In this paper, a modified push-pull dual active bridge (PPDAB) dc-dc converter and its optimized control are proposed to achieve full load range zero voltage switching (ZVS). Considering the switch junction capacitors, the added current is injected by the magnetizing inductance to achieve full load range ZVS. Based on the RMS value of transformer current, the optimized control strategy is proposed to enhance the system efficiency with the precondition of achieving full load range ZVS of all switches. The working principles, ZVS region analysis, and design of key parameters are discussed in detail. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method for the PPDAB converter is verified by the results of a laboratory prototype.
