Abstract
An apparatus for zero voltage switching is disclosed. A system and method also perform the functions of the apparatus. The apparatus includes an MCT region module that defines a minimum current trajectory ('MCT') for operation between a maximum positive power output to a maximum negative power output of a bidirectional DC-to-DC converter. The converter includes a dual active bridge series resonant converter. The MCT defines a boundary between a zero voltage switching ('ZVS') region and a hard switching region. The apparatus includes an offset module that defines an offset to the MCT, the offset in the ZVS region, and an MCT control module that adjust switching of switches of the converter to maintain operation of the converter in the ZVS region between the maximum positive power output to a maximum negative power output along a trajectory defined by the MCT and the offset.
