Phase-Shifted Full-Bridge Controlled Bidirectional DC-DC Converter with MATLAB Simulation

The MATLAB simulation schematic for a phase-shifted full-bridge controlled bidirectional DC-DC converter serves as a base for further enhancements. For instance, control strategies can be improved by implementing advanced algorithms like adaptive PID tuning or model predictive control (MPC) in Simulink to optimize power conversion efficiency. Circuit response speed can be enhanced through faster switching frequency configuration in the PWM generator block, while reducing circuit noise may involve adding snubber circuits or EMI filters in the simulation model. Additionally, protection mechanisms such as overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature safeguards can be integrated using comparator blocks and fault detection logic to improve circuit stability and reliability. Furthermore, the converter's application scope can be expanded to electric vehicles (requiring bidirectional power flow for battery charging/discharging) and photovoltaic systems (enabling grid-tied energy management) by modifying the simulation parameters to match specific operational requirements, thereby increasing its market potential.
