Abstract

This paper presents a non-isolated three-port DC/DC converter which is optimized to connect a three-wire, bipolar ±380 VDC microgrid to different sources and loads like photovoltaics, batteries and fuel cells. A novel control method is used to reduce the switching losses and achieve an ex­tremely high efficiency over a broad operating range.

Conventionally, pulse-width modulation (PWM) with a constant switching frequency is used to generate switching pulses. Yet, in order to reduce switching losses and increase the overall system efficiency, Triangular Current Mode (TCM) or Criti­cal Current Mode (CrCM) control is intro­duced to achieve Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) for every operating point. This also allows the use of higher switching frequencies resulting in greatly reduced passive component sizes.

Conclusively, a 6 kW prototype DC/DC converter is presented to verify the proposed control method. The prototype achieves a peak efficiency of 99.3%.
