Analytical Determination of the ZVS Boundaries for Resonant Dual Active Bridge Converters
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used frequency domain analysis to accurately predict the individual half-bridge ZVS boundaries for DAB converters with a resonant coupling inductance, which was then used to modify the converter modulation strategy to extend the ZVS operating regions, allowing ZVS to be maintained at lower power transfer conditions.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Small Signal Dynamic Model and Stability Analysis of a Self-Synchronizing Grid-Tied Current Regulated Inverter
TL;DR: This paper presents a linearized small signal model for a self-synchronising inverter that fully accounts for the current regulator and PLL dynamic interactions, which allows the stability of the inverter control loop to be assessed across a wide range of operating conditions.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Sequential Phase-Shifted Model Predictive Control for a Five-Level Flying Capacitor Converter

TL;DR: Simulation results of the proposed SPS-MPC strategy validate the current and FC voltages tracking control during the transient and steady-state conditions at a fixed switching frequency.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Wide range ZVS operation of dual active bridge DC-DC converters using adaptive modulation and low coupling factor transformers
TL;DR: In this paper, frequency domain analysis is used to design and operate a DAB to ensure zero voltage switching across the entire operating range by using transformers with a reduced winding coupling factor and adaptive 3-level bridge modulation, while also including second order effects.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
High Quality Grid Current Control for LCL Inverters Using Self-Synchronising Inverter Side Current Regulation
TL;DR: A novel current control strategy for LCL grid-connected inverters that requires only inverter side current sensors, with the grid voltage phase and capacitor current estimated from the Proportional Resonant current regulator to achieve self-synchronized indirect regulation of the grid-side current is proposed.
