The proposal of the five-degree-of-freedom modulation strategy transforms the working voltage waveforms of the primary and secondary sides as well as the inductor current waveform of the DAB converter from symmetric to asymmetric, while the dead-time issue still persists. Based on the five-degree-of-freedom modulation strategy, this paper analyzes the electrical characteristics of the converter before and after the introduction of dead time, designs switch drive pulses to avoid the dead time, and proposes a dead-time compensation modulation strategy based on five-degree-of-freedom phase shift. The results show that the proposed dead-time compensation control strategy can avoid problems such as voltage and current waveform distortion and reduction in the soft-switching power range caused by dead time, realizing dead-time compensation in the full power range. Experimental measurements show that, for different voltage transmission ratios, the maximum efficiency improvement is approximately 3.8\u20134% and the current stress is reduced by 2.11% to 3.13% under low-power operating conditions. The maximum efficiency improvement is approximately about 1.4\u20132.8% and the current stress is reduced by 1.84% to 2.53% under high-power operating conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym17101701","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,10]],"date-time":"2025-10-10T12:32:47Z","timestamp":1760099567000},"page":"1701","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Analysis and Compensation of Dead-Time Effect in Dual Active Bridge with Asymmetric Duty Cycle"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Pengfei","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical and Information Engineering, Beihua University, Jilin 132013, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuairan","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical and Information Engineering, Beihua University, Jilin 132013, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruiyang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical and Information Engineering, Beihua University, Jilin 132013, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4320-5220","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yanming","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical and Information Engineering, Beihua University, Jilin 132013, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shaojie","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical and Information Engineering, Beihua University, Jilin 132013, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"De Doncker, R.W., Divan, D.M., and Kheraluwala, M.H.
