Exact Closed-Form Feedforward Inversion for Dual-Bridge Series Resonant DC/DC Converter via State-Plane Analysis

Abstract

This paper derives exact closed-form feedforward inversion maps for the dual-bridge series resonant converter (DB SRC) using state-plane trajectory analysis. The converter employs four modulation variables: primary duty cycle $d$, secondary shorting time $s$, phase shift $β$, and switching frequency $ω$. While the established first harmonic approximation (FHA) provides frequency-independent inversion, the exact state-plane approach yields frequency-dependent inversion model that is proven algebraically identical to FHA at resonance frequency. For practical above-resonance operation, the exact inversions eliminate the commutation angle errors inherent in the FHA-based feedforward. The resulting controller architecture mirrors the parallel nonlinear compensation structure of the FHA-based design, with feedforward maps now operating on resonant-time quantities that naturally couple commutation and frequency control. All results are expressed in closed form suitable for real-time implementation.
