With the development of the more/All electrical aircraft technology, the dual active bridge converter has been applied to the energy storage device to realize the bidirectional power flow in aircraft electrical system. The power loss of power device in DAB converter affects the operational life of the device and the reliability of the converter. So it is an important performance index to keep the temperature balance for power device in DAB converter. In this paper, the operational mode of dual active bridge bidirectional DC-DC converter in extended-phase-shift (EPS) control is analyzed and verified by experiment, find the reasons for difficult to achieve soft-switching under light load conditions, then proposes a novel thermal balance phase-shift control strategy on the basis of EPS. Experimental methods in this paper are alternation control mode and temperature feedback control mode. The thermal image and temperature was analyzed. The efficiency curve was plotted. The switching waveform was observed. the thermal balance was achieved to verify the effectiveness. and finally achieves the goal for improving the converter efficiency, reduces the devices heat stress, improves the reliability of the DAB converters and increases device lifetime.

To solve the problems of large current stress, difficult soft-switching of all switches, and slow dynamic response of dual active bridge converters, a multi-objective unified optimal control strategy based on triple-phase-shift control was proposed. The forward power flow global modes of triple-phase-shift control were analyzed, and three high-efficiency modes were selected to establish the analytical models of current stress and soft-switching. Combined with these models, the optimal solutions in different modes were derived by using the cost function-optimization equation to overcome the limitation of the Lagrange multiplier method, such that the DAB converter achieved the minimum current stress, and all switches operated in the soft-switching state over the entire power range. At the same time, the virtual power component was introduced in the phase-shift ratio combination, which improved the dynamic response of output voltage under the input voltage or load steps changed by power control. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed control strategy can optimize the performance of the DAB converter from three aspects, such as current stress, soft-switching, and dynamic response, which achieves multi-objective optimization of the steady-state and dynamic performance of DAB converters.
