Description
Summary:A smart control method for Bidirectional DC-DC Converter has been developed. Both charge and discharge with buck / boost mode transition are achieved by common control structure without mode judgment. This simple structure is also extended to a parallel system, and controls multiple output power for both directions. The function has some exceptional case at the period of start-up and stop, because introduced complementary switching flows unexpected reverse current. To avoid the unexpected reverse current, we introduced the selective disable function of complementary switching and achieved stable start and stop control. This improvement also equipped the system additional charge only operation. Improved control structure was evaluated at the four-parallel converter system.
