2.3.5 Loss Analysis

This section reviews the theoretical efficiency numbers obtained in the dual-active bridge. To arrive at the losses in different elements, the average and the RMS currents across the primary and secondary side are calculated. Details on the actual derivation of equations are out of scope for this design. The maximum power transfer in a dual-active bridge occurs at a phase shift of 90°. However, a high phase shift requires a high leakage inductance for power transfer. Using a high inductor leads to increased RMS currents in the primary and secondary side, which affects the efficiency of the converter.

Figure 2-18 shows the relationship between phase shift and the required inductance obtained from MATLAB simulations. The system specifications are tabulated in Table 2-1.
