Sumario:This paper presents a new self-tuning loop for a bidirectional dual-active bridge (DAB) series resonant converter (SRC). For di erent loading conditions, the two active bridges can be controlled with a minimum time displacement between them to assure zero voltage switching (ZVS) and minimum circulation current conditions. The tuning loop can instantly reverse the power direction with a fast dynamics. Moreover, the tuning loop is not sensitive to series resonant tank tolerances and deviations, which makes it a robust solution for power tuning of the SRCs. For simplicity, the power is controlled based on the power-frequency control method with a fixed time displacement between the active bridges. The main design criteria of the bidirectional SRC are the time displacement, operating frequency bandwidth, and the minimum and maximum power, which are simply derived and formulated based on the self-tuning loop’s parameters. Based on the parameters of the tuning loop, a simplified power equation and power control method is proposed for DAB-SRCs. The proposed control method is simulated in static and dynamic conditions for di erent loadings. The analysis and simulation results show the e ectiveness of the new tuning method.
