Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science, Miami University, Computational Science and Engineering.
Renewable energy sources are intermittent in nature. Therefore, they are often used in conjunction with energy storage systems to ensure the continuous flow of power. Bidirectional DC/DC converters serve as an intermediary between the energy storage hardware and the inverter connected to the grid. Dual active bridge (DAB) converters are well suited for this application, especially when the power is greater than 1 kW. They offer bi-directional power flow and can achieve zero-voltage-switching (ZVS). Furthermore, gallium nitride (GaN) based transistors have many attributes that enable them to outperform silicon (Si) MOSFETs in this topology. This research compares the performance of a DAB converter designed with GaN transistors to one built with Si MOSFETs. A hardware prototype was built for 48 V to 400 V conversion with a rated power of 4 kW.
