Abstract:
One direct current to direct current converter disclosed herein can implement three control modes: a predefined control mode in which an outer phase-shift angle is determined based on a predefined process, a current control mode in which the outer phase-shift angle is determined based on a predefined reference current profile and a DC current output, and a voltage-current control mode in which a reference current value is determined using a reference voltage value and a DC voltage output. The soft starting process can start from the predefined control mode and later switch to the current control mode followed by the voltage-current control mode or directly switch to the voltage-current control mode. The soft starting process can also start from the current control mode and later switch to the voltage-current control mode

Claim (Index 9):
A controller for soft starting a dual-active bridge direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converter that comprises a transformer, a first H-bridge connected to a primary winding of the transformer, and a second H-bridge connected to a secondary winding of the transformer, the controller configured to:\n perform a predefined control mode in which the outer phase-shift angle is determined based on a predefined process; determine that a predefined event has occurred; and in response to determining that the predefined event has occurred, switch to a voltage-current control mode in which a reference current value is determined using a reference voltage value and a DC voltage output from the second H-bridge, and an outer phase-shift angle is determined using the reference current value and a DC current output from the second H-bridge, wherein the outer phase-shift angle is a phase shift between a first voltage on the primary winding and a second voltage on the secondary winding.
