Power Flow Decoupling Controller for Triple Active Bridge Based on Fourier Decomposition of Transformer Currents
TL;DR: The controller is based on a full-order continuous-time model of the TAB converter derived using the generalized average modelling technique, which uses the Fourier series expansion to decompose the state-space variables into two components, which represent the active power and the reactive power.
