    • Effects of dead-time in dual active bridge 

      Machongwe, T.; Musiiwa, P. B.; Mutamba, C. T.; Makusha, D. T.; Kapuya, E. T.; Musademba, D. (БНТУ, 2025)
      The article explores the effect of dead-time in the operation of a Dual Active Bridge (DAB). DABs consist of high-speed switching devices (usually MOSFETS) as the main architecture component. The switches turn off and on at frequencies greater than 50 MHz. During this switching period, switches change from their low state to high state. If the fall time is greater than the time ...
