A double-input bidirectional DC-DC converter, with an innovative architecture, exploiting the use of only three switches, is taken into account in this paper. The modulation strategy proposed in the technical literature for controlling such a converter leads to a very low efficiency at low-load, because the converter is only able to operate in Continuous Conduction Mode when currents are low. A new modulation strategy, for exploiting Discontinuous Conduction Mode, is here proposed. The efficiency increase is evaluated with a MATLAB/Simulink Plecs simulation model. The control algorithm and the simulation model are validated with experimental results carried out on a converter prototype.

Abstract

A double-input bidirectional DC-DC converter, with an innovative architecture, exploiting the use of only three switches, is taken into account in this paper. The modulation strategy proposed in the technical literature for controlling such a converter leads to a very low efficiency at low-load, because the converter is only able to operate in Continuous Conduction Mode when currents are low. A new modulation strategy, for exploiting Discontinuous Conduction Mode, is here proposed. The efficiency increase is evaluated with a MATLAB/Simulink Plecs simulation model. The control algorithm and the simulation model are validated with experimental results carried out on a converter prototype.
