This strategy fails to ensure output equalization when the parameters of each dual active bridge (DAB) converter module are inconsistent, thus reducing the operational efficiency of the DCSST. To solve the above problems, a DCSST-balancing control strategy based on loop current suppression is presented. By fixing the phase-shifting angle within the bridge and adjusting the phase-shifting angle between bridges, the circulation current of each DAB converter module is reduced. Based on the double-loop control of the DAB, five controllers are nested outside each DAB submodule to achieve distributed control of the DCSST. The proposed control strategy can reduce the system circulation current with different circuit parameters of the submodules, ensure the balance of input voltage and output current of each submodule, and increase the robustness of the system. The simulation results verify the validity of the proposed method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21238125","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,6]],"date-time":"2021-12-06T03:10:38Z","timestamp":1638760238000},"page":"8125","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["DCSST Multi-Modular Equalization Scheme Based on Distributed Control"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Fei","family":"Teng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Guizhou University, Guiyang 550025, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dezheng","family":"Kong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Guizhou University, Guiyang 550025, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zixuan","family":"Cui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Guizhou University, Guiyang 550025, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Guizhou University, Guiyang 550025, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhenghang","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Guizhou University, Guiyang 550025, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Na","family":"Rong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Guizhou University, Guiyang 550025, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhuo","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Guizhou University, Guiyang 550025, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1274","article-title":"Review of Power Electronic Transformer Technology","volume":"38","author":"Li","year":"2018","journal-title":"Proc.
