Modular dual active bridge converter architecture

This paper is focused on the assessment of a modular architecture based on the Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter in input series, output parallel (ISOP) connection. Previous works have dealt with modeling and control techniques to ensure a proper voltage and power sharing among the modules. In this paper an experimental evaluation of the behavior of the DAB in ISOP connection is carried out in order to validate the previously proposed models.
