Abstract

DC transformer (DCT) which is composed of dual active bridge (DAB) converters, is capable of fulfiling high-ratio voltage conversion between the medium-voltage dc distribution and low-voltage dc distribution. A model predictive control (MPC) strategy was proposed for the DAB-DCT to improve dynamic performance and achieve a proper power distribution, considering the bidirectional power of DCT. The traditional voltage closed-loop control scheme with the single-phase shift (SPS) and the MPC scheme with SPS are compared on a downscale DAB-DCT laboratory prototype, using PowerPC P2020 + FPGA_6SL X45 as the core controller. The excellent dynamic characteristics of DCT with proposed MPC strategy is verified by extensive experimental results.
