An LLC-DAB Bidirectional DCX Converter With Wide Load Range ZVS and Reduced Switch Count

An LLC dual active bridge (DAB) bidirectional converter with reduced switch count as a dc–dc transformer (DCX) is proposed in this article. It can achieve voltage regulation, full load range zero voltage switching (ZVS) for eight main switches and wide load range ZVS for four auxiliary switches, with consideration of the switch junction capacitors under different power direction. A part portion of total power is transferred through an auxiliary DAB circuit to achieve voltage regulation and bidirectional power conversion. The main power is transferred through LLC circuit with an easy PWM scheme achieving high conversion efficiency. Different from the existing LLC-DAB DCX structure, the two secondary side transformer outputs are in parallel, and connected to the same full-bridge circuit. In this way, the auxiliary DAB circuit can not only adjust the output voltage, but also can inject current into the secondary side to help achieving ZVS of switches without synchronous rectifier circuit. The converter operation principle is analyzed under different power directions, and ZVS is analyzed with the consideration of all the switch junction capacitors. Based on the analysis, the design consideration is introduced. Finally, a 2-kW prototype with 750 V input and 400 V output is built up to verify the effectiveness of the proposed solution.
