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 17):
The method for controlling a bidirectional DC/DC converter of  claim 16 , wherein comparing the interface current command to an interface current comparison value to generate first and second interface current commands and controlling the duty values of switching signals for the first and second conversion stages comprises:\n subtracting the interface current comparison value from the interface current command to generate the first interface current command; adding the interface current comparison value to the interface current command to generate the second interface current command; comparing the first interface current command to the actual value of interface current, and controlling the duty value of the switching signal for the first conversion stage based on the comparison; and comparing the second interface current command to the actual value of the interface current, and controlling the duty value of the switching signal for the second conversion stage based on the comparison.
