Abstract: This paper presents a modified three-phase dual-active bridge converter (3p-DAB) for the charging/discharging of electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The proposed converter has two distinct features namely: 1) small resistance can be used because the switches are only under one-third of their corresponding voltage stress. As a result, conduction losses are decreased; 2) all switches are turned ON/OFF with soft switching to minimise switching losses. In this paper, mathematical modelling, control, and design of suggested three-phase DAB converter (T²-DAB)-based EV battery charging system are carried out under various operating conditions. In order to control the power flow, a single-phase shift (SPS) modulation strategy is employed during the constant current (CC) and constant voltage (CV) charging modes. A prototype of the suggested T²-DAB converter is developed in the laboratory. The comparison of experimental findings to the theoretical analysis is found favourable.
