Abstract
A method of controlling switching primary and secondary full-bridge circuits, includes, when a fault is detected in a first voltage detection unit that detects the voltage of a first port, deriving a command duty cycle to adjust the voltage of a second port to a target voltage, by receiving feedback of a detected voltage of the second port by a second voltage detection unit; deriving an estimated phase difference corresponding to target power of transmission power transmitted from the secondary full-bridge circuit to the primary full-bridge circuit, and the command duty cycle, from a correspondence relation among a phase difference between switching of the primary and secondary full-bridge circuits, a duty cycle of the switching of the primary full-bridge circuit, and the transmission power; and controlling the phase difference to the estimated phase difference, and controlling the duty cycle to the command duty cycle.
