DAB Converter Design Reference

A design workflow for a DAB stage — switching devices, magnetics, control loops and validation. The teaching series starts with a separate 100 W cell example.

The linked articles are analytical teaching drafts. They state their assumptions and distinguish planned models and hardware from completed validation.

Design Optimisation Process

This design reference demonstrates how an AI-assisted workflow can systematically explore the design space to find optimal solutions for a dual-active-bridge converter.

Topology & Parameters

Automated search across phase count, transformer ratio, and filter values with comprehensive constraint checking and feasibility analysis.

Control Synthesis

Phase-shift and triple-phase-shift modulation strategies with automated tuning of current and voltage regulation loops for optimal performance.

Validation & Testing

Automated generation of HIL/SIL test matrices, efficiency/thermal maps, and data capture scripts for repeatable validation workflows.
