| Abstract |
This paper proposes a fully FPGA controlled Bi-Directional Converter (BDC) for avionic applications. The dissertation starts with an overview of the proposed converter, followed by the description and the mathematical analysis of the Dual Active Bridge (DAB) topology. Then, the control laws for both single and parallel modes are presented. In particular, the discussion on the paralleling of power converters with current sharing is the main contribution of this study. Simulations and experimental evaluations that illustrate the behavior of the BDC unit are given throughout all the specific sections. |
