Comprehensive Analysis of Buck Mode Frozen Leg Operation for Three-Phase Dual Active Bridge Converters

The three-phase dual-active-bridge converter exhibits an inherent fault-tolerant capability for addressing open-circuit failures (OCFs). The frozen leg method is a notable fault-tolerant technique that mitigates OCFs without additional hardware. Upon OCF detection, this method deactivates the two switches in the faulty leg, enabling the converter to maintain operation at a reduced power level. However, all previous research on the frozen leg …
