Title: Startup process for a dual active bridge converter to prevent over-voltage failure and thermal run-away

Abstract

A system and method for controlling a dual active bridge based DC/DC converter. A controller implements a startup control scheme and DC bus pre-charge routine to prevent damage to the converter upon startup. During startup of the converter, the startup control process can be used to prevent excessive phase-shift and the DC bus pre-charge routine adjusts the pulse width modulated duty cycle by increasing the dead time between signals, resulting in a decreased DC bus capacitor.
