Abstract:
A DC/DC converter system includes a bidirectional DC/DC converter converting between voltage levels at first and second ports and a control system for controlling the DC/DC converter. The bidirectional DC/DC converter includes a first conversion stage connected to the first port and a second conversion stage interfaced with the first conversion stage and connected to the second port. The control system includes outer and inner control loops. The outer control loop compares a command for one of a voltage level, a current level or power at one of the first and second ports to an actual value of voltage level, current level or power level and outputs an interface current command based on the comparison. The inner control loop compares the interface current command to an actual interface current at an interface of the first and second conversion stages, and controls a switching signal duty value based on the comparison.

Claim (Index 13):
The DC/DC converter system of  claim 7 , further comprising:\n a first capacitor coupled to the first half bridge; a second capacitor coupled to the second half bridge; and the control system further comprises a capacitance control system for controlling a voltage difference between a voltage across the first capacitor and a voltage across the second capacitor, the capacitance control system being configured to: calculate a difference between the voltage across the first capacitor and the voltage across the second capacitor; calculate a duty ratio offset according to the difference between the voltage across the first capacitor and the voltage across the second capacitor; apply the duty ratio offset to the duty value output by the first conversion stage controller.
