Impact of Bandwidth

In this simulation, the dual active bridge with phase shift control is running at a switching frequency of 100 kHz and is configured as constant current source output that drives a fixed current of 20 A into a pure resistive 10-Ω load (that results in a 200-V DC output, representing a 4-kW load).

At time t1 = 2ms, the load is changed from 10 Ω to 20 Ω. This results in an immediate current change down to 10 A (since voltage is 200 V at that time). After some time, the control loop starts to regulate back to the 20-A constant current which forces the output voltage to increase to 400-V DC when settled (resulting in a load change from 4 kW to 2 kW). Figure 97 shows the transient response of the output current.

DC/DC Step Load Response vs Current Sensor Bandwidth Figure 97 DC/DC Step Load Response vs Current Sensor Bandwidth

Figure 97 shows the response to the same load step for different bandwidth settings or the current sensor in the control loop. With a current sensor bandwidth of only 1 kHz, there is a long settling time of 1.6 ms. Increasing the bandwidth to 10 kHz and 100 kHz, brings the settling time (90% of end value) down to 0.6ms and 0.3ms, respectively. A further increase of current-sensor bandwidth does not improve the transient response significantly because the settling time is limited by the control-loop bandwidth of the current loop which was set to 10 kHz.

In conclusion, a current sensor at point E or F with a bandwidth lower than 100 kHz is sufficient to keep the settling time < 1ms for any load step change at the converter output.
