This document develops a method to solve the periodic operating point of Dual-Active-Bridge (DAB).
This paper presents an operator-theoretic reconstruction of an equivalent continuous-time LTI model from an exact sampled-data (Poincar\'e-map) baseline of a piecewise-linear switching system. The rebuilding is explicitly expressed via matrix logarithms. By expanding the logarithm of a product of matrix exponentials using the Baker--Campbell--Hausdorff (BCH) formula, we show that the classical state-space averaging (SSA) model can be interpreted as the leading-order truncation of this exact reconstruction when the switching period is small and the ripple is small. The same view explains why SSA critically relies on low-frequency and small-ripple assumptions, and why the method becomes fragile for converters with more than two subintervals per cycle. Finally, we provide a complexity-reduced, SSA-flavoured implementation strategy for obtaining the required spectral quantities and a real-valued logarithm without explicitly calling eigen-decomposition or complex matrix logarithms, by exploiting $2\times 2$ invariants and a minimal real-lift construction.
Ever since R.D.Middlebrook proposed the state space averaging notion. The small signal model has been widely used as a design tool to tune control parameters. As Moore's law is continuing and the AI chip's high demand for power consumption and dynamic response, the control bandwidth needs to be boosted. However, the average model has two basic assumptions: the low-frequency assumption, the small ripple assumption. In high-bandwidth design, these two assumptions are violated. In order to solve this, various methods have been proposed. This paper gives a comprehensive overview of the existing small signal model for PWM converters from the following perspectives: 1. model fidelity, 2. analytical tractability. 3. complexity of the derivation process and result 4.generality.
