A three-phase three winding topology for Dual Active Bridge and its D-Q mode control

A new Dual Active Bridge (DAB) topology is proposed with a 15-kV SiC-IGBT based three-level inverter at the high-voltage side and 1200-V SiC-MOSFET based paralleled two-level inverter at the low-voltage side. The proposed DAB is an integral part of a solid state transformer which connects a 13.8-kV distribution grid and a 480-V utility grid. The three-level inverter connected at the high-voltage side and a pair of two-level inverters connected at the low-voltage sides (in Y/Δ) of the high frequency link transformer help to reduce dominant harmonic currents. Thus harmonic-free currents in the high frequency link transformer are achieved without pulse-width modulation. A simple control is proposed and validated with simulation results.
