The converter prototype, have the high
efficiency and high power density can be obtained at the same time. A new architecture of the delay-line-based window ADC is proposed to meet wide output voltage range. Dual-mode error control achieves fast dynamic response for a voltage mode digitally controlled synchronous buck converter [9]. In a typical UPS system, the battery is charged when the main power source is normal and discharges to supply power in case of the failure of lose of the main power source. In the aircraft high voltage direct current (HVDC) power supply system, when the 250V HVDC generators is in gear, it charges the 25 V battery and supplies the 25 V key load by the BDC, and when the generator is in failure,
the 25 V battery
discharges to supply 250 V key load by the BDC. The high low voltage conversion and electrical isolation are necessary in the above-mentioned conditions. The current-voltage-fed BDC is suitable for such system due to its high voltage conversion ratio and low current ripple in the current-fed port. A dual active full bridge dc-dc converter was proposed for the

categories depending on the voltages they use. Fig. 1 shows the typical arrangement of the power electronic modules in fuel cell vehicle. The main traction motor is powered from the high voltage bus (around 500 V). There are also low voltage loads that need to be powered from a voltage source in the range of 40-50 V. The low voltage source could be a battery or a stepped down voltage from the high voltage battery pack or any source. When the high voltage source is a cell, the low voltage source is normally a battery pack. During the start up time of the vehicle, the low voltage battery pack delivers power to the fuel cell system and to the main motor, and the low voltage loads. in the vehicle, the dc-dc converter works in the up conversion mode. Once the fuel cell is ready, it provides power to the main motor and low voltage loads. The

Control Strategy
The control strategy of PSP is realized with two individual controllers, as shown in Fig. 3. The BDC is difficult to control stably because of the different small signal characteristics in different operation mode. In this paper,
a novel control
strategy with one port voltage regulation and another port current regulation is proposed. By sampling one port voltage and another port current, the controller can realize the voltage regulation

in Fig. 3, which is used to control the magnitude and direction of the transmitted power. When the voltage value on side is higher than the reference, the converter operates in buck mode and is controlled by single current closed-loop. The constant current setting for the low voltage side is decided by the current limiter, which can be regulated according to the charge condition of the battery. When the voltage value on side is lower than the reference, the converter will operate in boost mode, and be controlled by current and voltage dual closed loops. The maximum discharge current of the battery is limited by the current limiter. By selecting appropriate control parameters, this variable structure controller can improve the steady and dynamic performance of the system. Fig. 4 shows the Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation Control Technique for Forward Control. Fig. 5 shows the Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation Control Technique for Reverse Control. Figure 5.
