Abstract
DC microgrids, which use various energy sources, require an energy storage system (ESS) to stabilize the grid systems. Multiport active bridge (MAB) bidirectional DC-DC converters offer several advantages over other converters, including higher power density, bidirectional functionality, reduced component counts, soft switching ability, and a reduced number of conversion stages. However, these converters are affected by the cross-coupling effect of the control variable, with the power dissipated at each port significantly impacting the system response to step changes. This causes unstable DC bus voltage, slow dynamic response, large overshoot, and limits its reliability. To address this issue, a power decoupling with feedforward compensation based on model predictive control (MPC) and fuzzy compensation control (FCC) was developed. The proposed control strategy can achieve good transient performance (lower settling time, overshoot/undershoot in the controlled variables), excellent decoupling control performance, and high control flexibility with good precision to comply with DC voltage regulations. This article investigates the PD-MPC-FCC and its implementation in a triple active bridge (TAB) converter with multi-winding high-frequency transformers. The proposed MPC-FFC integrates MPC with fuzzy compensation control. The MPC aims to obtain more precise current reference values and implement current feedforward control to stabilize the DC bus voltage, while the FCC adaptively compensates for steady-state voltage errors. A hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experimental case study using Typhoon 602 validates the TAB converter’s performance with the proposed PD-MPC-FCC strategy. Additionally, a comparison with previous works confirms the effectiveness of the proposed method. The HIL experimental setup and comparative analysis results demonstrate that the proposed method is effective, providing faster dynamic characteristics and port power decoupling operation capability.

期刊介绍:
IEEE Access® is a multidisciplinary, open access (OA), applications-oriented, all-electronic archival journal that continuously presents the results of original research or development across all of IEEE''s fields of interest.
IEEE Access will publish articles that are of high interest to readers, original, technically correct, and clearly presented. Supported by author publication charges (APC), its hallmarks are a rapid peer review and publication process with open access to all readers. Unlike IEEE''s traditional Transactions or Journals, reviews are "binary", in that reviewers will either Accept or Reject an article in the form it is submitted in order to achieve rapid turnaround. Especially encouraged are submissions on:
Multidisciplinary topics, or applications-oriented articles and negative results that do not fit within the scope of IEEE''s traditional journals.
Practical articles discussing new experiments or measurement techniques, interesting solutions to engineering.
Development of new or improved fabrication or manufacturing techniques.
Reviews or survey articles of new or evolving fields oriented to assist others in understanding the new area.
