Dual Active Bridge Converters A Comparative Analysis using MATLAB Simulink for Photovoltaic Applications

Abstract

Using dual active bridge converters is one comprehensive way to connect the PV array to the load. Compared to other converters, DAB converters have better efficiency, a higher voltage-to-conversion ratio, and galvanic isolation. Dual Active Bridge converters are the focus of this article. The operation of the DAB converter is first examined using a DC source, after which the PV array is connected to the DAB, and the voltage and current are controlled using the Perturb & Observe MPPT algorithm. The AC motor is linked as a load to the inverter, which receives interface data from the PV array using the DAB converter. Using Simulink, we simulate the analysis of the different suggested models, as indicated before, and the findings are confirmed. Inverter, photovoltaic system, dual active bridge converter.
