Integrated Power/Signal Transmission in Triple Active Bridge Converters Based on Partial Power Processing for Energy Routers

Improving the efficiency of power transfer and a more convenient way of signal transmission in an energy router have been two of the most significant concerns in the current research. This paper proposes a partial power processing-based triple active bridge converter to realize the power transmission and signal transmission in one converter which significantly improve the power efficiency and complete the data communication. The control method of power transfer and phase perturbation modulation method of signal transmission are also explained in this paper. Finally, the MATLAB/Simulink test is run and introduced in detail to prove the feasibility of proposed topology.
