Abstract: A triple active bridge (TAB) converter used for simultaneous fast charging of two dissimilar EVs can exhibit significant circulating power under asymmetric port voltages and power levels. This internal power exchange increases losses and current stress and limits the effectiveness of conventional magnetic design optimization. This paper develops a generalized five-variable phase-shift model of the TAB and formulates explicit zero-circulating-power conditions that characterize non-circulating operating points in asymmetric dual-EV charging. Based on this formulation, a decoupled control law is synthesized that assigns the five phase-shift variables to suppress circulating power while independently regulating the power delivered to each EV port over a wide operating range, without requiring specialized transformer or leakage-inductance design. Results from representative dynamic dual-EV charging scenarios demonstrate 15% reduction in RMS current stress compared with conventional phase-shift control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
