Energies, Vol. 13, Pages 1711: Design Method of Dual Active Bridge Converters for Photovoltaic Systems with High Voltage Gain (Energies)
 


In this paper, a design method for a photovoltaic system based on a dual active bridge converter and a photovoltaic module is proposed. The method is supported by analytical results and theoretical predictions, which are confirmed with circuital simulations. The analytical development, the theoretical predictions, and the validation through circuital simulations, are the main contributions of the paper. The dual active bridge converter is selected due to its high efficiency, high input and output voltages range, and high voltage-conversion ratio, which enables the interface of low-voltage photovoltaic modules with a high-voltage dc bus, such as the input of a micro-inverter. To propose the design method, the circuital analysis of the dual active bridge converter is performed to describe the general waveforms derived from the circuit behavior. Then, the analysis of the dual active bridge converter, interacting with a photovoltaic module driven by a maximum power point tracking algorithm, is used to establish the mathematical expressions for the leakage inductor current, the photovoltaic current, and the range of operation for the phase shift. The design method also provides analytical equations for both the high-frequency transformer equivalent leakage inductor and the photovoltaic side capacitor. The design method is validated through detailed circuital simulations of the whole photovoltaic system, which confirm that the maximum power of the photovoltaic module can be extracted with a correct design of the dual active bridge converter. Also, the theoretical restrictions of the photovoltaic system, such as the photovoltaic voltage and power ripples, are fulfilled with errors lower than 2% with respect to the circuital simulations. Finally, the simulation results also demonstrate that the maximum power point for different environmental conditions is reached, optimizing the phase shift factor with a maximum power point tracking algorithm.
