With some advantages, such as electric isolation, high efficiency, and fast dynamic response, the input-series output-parallel (ISOP) dual-active-bridge (DAB) dc-dc converter has been regarded as one of the most promising candidates for connecting the medium voltage terminal and the low voltage terminal. For the ISOP DAB dc-dc converter, the existing control strategies are mainly focusing on the equivalent power sharing control, but the fast-dynamic response is not included and the decoupling between the regulation of input voltage and the adjustment of output voltage is not eliminated significantly. In this article, the average model of this ISOP DAB dc-dc converter is presented first, which can be employed to analyze the power distributions of this modular topology clearly. Then, an input-oriented power sharing control scheme with fast-dynamic response is proposed for ensuring both the power sharing ability and the fast-dynamic performance of the ISOP DAB dc-dc converter in this article. Compared with the existing methods, this proposed scheme can also significantly reduce the coupling between the power sharing control and the output voltage regulation. In addition, an inductance-estimating method is proposed for ensuring the power sharing performance of the ISOP DAB dc-dc converter. Finally, the experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed input-oriented power sharing control with fast-dynamic response for the ISOP DAB dc-dc converter system.
