Abstract: 
The Dual Active Bridge (DAB) DC-DC converter has emerged as a prominent topology in modern power electronics applications due to its inherent advantages including electrical isolation, bidirectional power flow capability, and high power density. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of DAB converter design principles, control strategies, and practical applications. The research examines the fundamental operation principles, various control methodologies, optimization techniques, and emerging applications in renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems. Through detailed analysis of existing literature and theoretical foundations, this work provides insights into the current state of DAB technology and identifies future research directions. The paper also addresses practical implementation challenges and proposes solutions for improved efficiency and performance in real-world applications.
