Preface
Bidirectional DC–DC converters are widely used as power interfaces for many
applications that need both changing and discharging of the energy storage com-
ponents, such as batteries, super-capacitors. Among various types of bidirectional
DC–DC converters, dual active bridge (DAB) converter has become popular and
preferred topology during these years for its attractive advantages including sym-
metrical structure, zero-voltage switching, bidirectional power transfer capability,
and high-power density.
This book presents different DAB converter topologies and power control
strategies to achieve better power conversion performances for applications
requiring both bidirectional power flow and galvanic isolation. The studied
topologies can be used for applications needing a relatively wide voltage ranges
such as energy storage system, automotive applications, solid-state transformer
(SST)-based DC fast charger. The converter working principles, power transfer
characteristics,converterlossesareanalyzedinthisbook.Basedonthat,thepower
controlstrategiesareappliedtoachievebetterperformanceaimedatdifferentcontrol
goals. This book will benefit the researchers and engineers inthe fieldof topology
and control for dual active bridge isolated bidirectional DC–DC converters. The
outcomes will enable effective development and high-quality mass production of
novel high-performance DC–DC converters for the aforementioned bidirectional
power applications. The main objectives are as follows,
1) To review and summarize the existed mainstream topologies and control
methods for dual active bridge converters which are viewed as challenging
research and application topic in the field of electrical engineering.
2) To develop new topologies for the applications that require wide voltage gain
range due to the interfacing with the batteries. These applications include
energy storage system, automotive applications, SST-based DC fast charger.
3) To develop effective and simple control methods to achieve reduced current
stress and wide ZVS ranges for the bidirectional dual active bridge DC–DC
converters.

This book consists of 12 Chapters based on our several research projects, and
covering the aspects of converter topologies and power control strategies for DAB
converters. Like most books, this book starts with an introduction in Chap. 1 to
present a brief introduction focusing on the applications and classifications of
bidirectional DC–DC converters, review of the control methods for dual active
bridgecontrol,andkeyissuesofDABconverters.Fortherestofthecontents,from
