Research Guide Overview
Comparative Analysis of SiC DAB Converters for 48V–380V MATLAB Simulink Research explains the related simulation project as a complete research workflow for engineering scholars, PhD research scholars, MTech and MSc thesis students. The guide connects the video/project page with objectives, model blocks, methodology, result graphs and thesis discussion.
The related implementation uses MATLAB Simulink and can be developed into a dissertation chapter, journal extension, conference paper model explanation or final-year project report.
Why This Topic Matters
To compare conventional DAB, series resonant, parallel resonant, LLC and CLLC SiC-based dual-active-bridge converter topologies for 48 V to 380 V, 1 kW isolated DC conversion.
Suggested Modelling Workflow
- define the base system, geometry or circuit according to the selected research problem
- build the model in MATLAB Simulink with clear input parameters and measurement points
- run the baseline case and verify resonance, control response, field plot or waveform behaviour
- add the proposed improvement and compare it with the reference case
- export labelled figures, comparison tables and result indices for thesis discussion
Important Simulation Outputs and Graphs
- input/output voltage response
- DAB transformer current and switching waveform
- efficiency comparison for each topology
- DC-link voltage ripple and load-step response
- THD/current stress comparison table
Thesis Writing and Result Discussion Structure
A strong thesis section should include the problem statement, literature gap, block diagram, parameter table, model setup, simulation cases, labelled output graphs, baseline comparison, performance indices and conclusion. The result chapter should clearly explain why each graph proves improvement over the reference case.
Research Extension Ideas
- wide-bandgap loss modelling
- thermal comparison between Si and SiC devices
- optimization of resonant tank values
- closed-loop digital control for EV charger and DC microgrid use
