This paper proposes a reconfigurable dual-active-bridge (DAB) converter that is capable of switching between two structures for enhancing its performances at different output power levels. For 50%-100% load, the operates in full-bridge mode and achieves soft-switching all switches independently input-to-output voltage ratio. Below 50% reconfigured to operate half-bridge reduced circulating current improved light-load efficiency while maintaining desired characteristic mode. The achievement...
