It is a challenge for dual-active-bridge (DAB) converters to take a good balance between full-load-range zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and control complexity with a wide voltage range. Dual-phase-shift (DPS) control can extend the ZVS range greatly compared with single-phase-shift (SPS) control, and it has fewer control variables with reduced operation modes compared with triple-phase-shift (TPS) control. However, with conventional DPS control, at least a pair of switches will be operated under hard switching within a large power range, which severely reduces the efficiency, especially at the high switching frequency. To solve this problem, based on the Lagrange multiplier method (LMM), an optimized DPS control utilizing magnetizing current is proposed. In this article, the magnetizing inductance is designed to create the possibility of full-load-range ZVS achievement for all power switches. Based on ZVS analysis considering switch junction capacitors and power characteristics analysis, a power control law premised on full-load-range ZVS achievement is proposed to achieve low current stress. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed solution is verified by experimental results obtained with a 500-W, 250-kHz gallium–nitride (GaN)-based prototype.
