  • Publication number: 20230327578
    Abstract: A three-phase single-stage isolated bidirectional converter and a method of controlling same are provided. The bidirectional converter includes a three-phase AC voltage port, a DC voltage port, full-bridge circuit units, half-bridge circuit units, phase-shift inductor units, transformers, and filter capacitors. The first full-bridge circuit unit is connected to the first half-bridge circuit unit. The third full-bridge circuit unit is connected to the second half-bridge circuit unit. The fifth full-bridge circuit unit is connected to the third half-bridge circuit unit. The first half-bridge circuit unit is connected to the first filter capacitor. A midpoint of a bridge arm of the first half-bridge circuit unit is connected to a second port. A midpoint of a bridge arm of the second half-bridge circuit unit is connected to a fourth port. A midpoint of a bridge arm of the third half-bridge circuit unit is connected to a sixth port.

  • Patent number: 11728749
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a single-stage isolated bidirectional converter and a control method thereof. The converter includes: a first full-bridge circuit unit, a half-bridge circuit unit, a second full-bridge circuit unit, a phase-shift inductor unit, a transformer and a filter capacitor. The transformer includes a first winding and a second winding, and the first winding is provided with a center tap. The center tap is connected to the first port, two ends thereof are connected to the midpoints of the two bridge arms of the first full-bridge circuit unit through the phase-shift inductor unit, and two ends of the second winding are connected to the midpoints of the two bridge arms of the second full-bridge circuit unit. Two ends of the first full-bridge circuit unit are connected to two ends of the half-bridge circuit unit; two ends of the half-bridge circuit unit are connected to two ends of the filter capacitor.
