N2 - This paper presents the design, analysis, and control of a dual transformer-based bidirectional DC/DC resonant converter featuring balanced voltage stress across all the resonant capacitors. Compared to existing topologies, the proposed converter has a dual-rectifier structure on the secondary side, which allows operation over a wide load range with balanced voltage stress across all resonant components. The transformer stress is greatly reduced by employing two small transformers, thus greatly lowering thermal as well electrical stresses on the transformers’ windings. Furthermore, by operating the primary-side interleaved converter at a fixed 50% duty, input current ripples are significantly reduced. The proposed controller consists of a feedforward control part for effective system uncertainty compensation and a feedback control part for the convergence of system error dynamics. Notably, state-plane trajectory theory is employed to derive accurate feedforward compensation terms. Additionally, the effect of resonant elements’ parameter mismatch is analyzed in detail. The designed controller was implemented using the TI TMS320F28377D DSP on a 3.3 kW prototype hardware board. Detailed experimental investigations under tough, practical operating conditions corroborate an effective bidirectional power transfer operation with a balanced voltage stress distribution in each resonant element.
