Metasezgisel Algoritmalar Kullanılarak İki Yönlü Çift Aktif Köprülü DA-DA Dönüştürücünün Kontrol Parametrelerinin Belirlenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışma, çift yönlü çift aktif köprülü (DAB) DA-DA dönüştürücünün kontrol performansını iyileştirmek amacıyla metasezgisel algoritmalara dayalı bir optimizasyon yaklaşımı önermektedir. DAB dönüştürücüler, yüksek verimleri, esnek kontrol yapıları ve çift yönlü güç aktarım kabiliyetleri nedeniyle birçok uygulamada yaygın olarak tercih edilmektedir. Ancak, denetleyici parametrelerinin doğru belirlenmesi, verimli enerji aktarımının sağlanması ve kayıpların en aza indirilmesi açısından kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, DAB dönüştürücü oransal-integral (PI) ve kesirli mertebeli oransal-integral (FOPI) denetleyici yapıları kullanılarak kontrol edilmiştir. Denetleyici parametreleri, Dandelion Optimization (DO), Parçacık Sürü Optimizasyonu (PSO) ve Gri Kurt Optimizasyonu (GWO) algoritmaları kullanılarak, amaç fonksiyonu olarak Entegre Zaman Ağırlıklı Mutlak Hata (ITAE) kriteri temelinde optimize edilmiştir. Ayrıca, devre parametrelerinin seçiminin sistem verimi üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, üç algoritmanın karşılaştırmalı bir değerlendirmesini sunmakta ve metasezgisel optimizasyonun DAB dönüştürücü kontrol performansını iyileştirmedeki etkinliğini ortaya koyarak literatüre kapsamlı bir bakış açısı kazandırmaktadır.

Determination of Control Parameters of a Bidirectional Dual Active Bridge DC-DC Converter Using Metaheuristic Algorithms

Öz

This study proposes an optimization approach based on metaheuristic algorithms to improve the control performance of a bidirectional dual active bridge (DAB) DC-DC converter. DAB converters are widely preferred in many applications due to their high efficiency, flexible control, and bidirectional power transfer capabilities. However, accurate determination of controller parameters is critical for achieving efficient energy transfer and minimizing losses. In this study, the DAB converter is controlled using proportional-integral (PI) and fractional-order proportional-integral (FOPI) controller structures. The controller parameters are optimized using Dandelion Optimization (DO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithms, with the Integrated Time-Weighted Absolute Error (ITAE) employed as the objective function. In addition, the effects of circuit parameter selection on system efficiency are investigated. The results provide a comparative evaluation of the three algorithms and confirm the effectiveness of metaheuristic optimization in improving DAB converter control performance, contributing a comprehensive perspective to the existing literature.
