Abstract
With their multidirectional power flow capability, dual active bridge (DAB) and triple active bridge (TAB) converters find application in energy routers as DC/DC transfer components for emergency energy supply during significant power outages. These converters ensure stable sustainable power transmission across various energy sources while enabling high-power conversion. However, controlling power direction poses a challenge in DAB/TAB converters for emergency energy supply, typically a rapid change of power direction of any port of DAB/TAB converters. To address this problem, this study proposes a novel automatic power direction control method for DAB/TAB converters, enabling bidirectional power transmission without manual intervention based on the state of charge (SOC) of battery for emergency energy supply. This method realizes the change of power direction of each port in DAB/TAB converter automatically according to different situations, even in emergencies. Given the now widespread shortage of emergency energy and the higher cost of labor regulation, this approach simplifies operations and enhances system safety and sustainability by eliminating the need for human supervision. A well-implemented automatic control method ensures efficient and consistent power transfer within the system by change the direction in about 3 s, whenever power direction adjustment is necessary.
