my.uniten.dspace-254602023-05-29T16:09:41Z Evaluation of a three-phase bidirectional isolated DC-DC converter with varying transformer configurations using phase-shift modulation and burst-mode switching Akagi H. 7102912290 Copper; DC-DC converters; Efficiency; Electric resistance; Electric transformer testing; Energy transfer; Insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT); Modulation; Switching; Bidirectional isolated dc-dc converter; Conventional phase shift; On-state voltage drop; Phase shift modulation; Simulation verification; Switching strategies; Three-phase transformers; Transformer configuration; DC transformers This paper presents the performance of a three-phase bidirectional isolated DC-DC converter (3P-BIDC) in wye-wye (Yy), wye-delta (Yd), delta-wye (Dy), and delta-delta (Dd) transformer configurations, using enhanced switching strategy that combines phase-shift modulation and burst-mode switching. A simulation verification using PSCAD is carried out to study the feasibility and compare the efficiency performance of the 3P-BIDC with each transformer configuration, using intermittent switching, which combines the conventional phase-shift modulation (PSM) and burst-mode switching, in the light load condition. The model is tested with continuous switching that employs the conventional PSM from medium to high loads (greater than 0.3 p.u.) and with intermittent switching at light load (less than 0.3 p.u), in different transformer configurations. In all tests, the DC-link voltages are equal to the transformer turns ratio of 1:1. This paper also presents the power loss estimation in continuous and intermittent switching to verify the modelled losses in the 3P-BIDC in the Yy transformer configuration. The 3P-BIDC is modelled by taking into account the effects that on-state voltage drop in the insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBTs) and diodes, snubber capacitors, and three-phase transformer copper winding resistances will have on the conduction and switching losses, and copper losses in the 3P-BIDC. The intermitting switching improves the efficiency of the DC-DC converter with Yy, Yd, Dy, and Dd connections in light-load operation. The 3P-BIDC has the best efficiency performance using Yy and Dd transformer configurations for all power transfer conditions in continuous and intermittent switching. Moreover, the highest efficiency of 99.6% is achieved at the light power transfer of 0.29 p.u. in Yy and Dd transformer configurations. However, the theoretical current stress in the 3PBIDC with a Dd transformer configuration is high. Operation of the converter with Dy transformer configuration is less favorable due to the efficiency achievements of lower than 95%, despite burstmode switching being applied. � 2020 by the authors.
