Comparative analysis of MAB dc-dc converters configurations in modular smart transformer
Open accessAbstract
In this work, the quadruple active bridge dc-dc converter (QAB) is proposed to be used as a building block to implement the dc-dc stage of a Smart Transformer. Different configuration for this converter are possible and all of them are considered for investigation. Thus, four different architectures of ST, including one based on the Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter, are presented and compared in terms of cost, efficiency, reliability and implementation complexity. As an additional contribution, different semiconductors technology (silicon IGBT and silicon carbide MOSFETs) are evaluated in order to verify their impact on ST application. The design for each architecture is described and the results are compared. In order to validate the theoretical analysis developed in the paper, a 20 kW prototype was built and experimented.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
AQAB achieves 97.5% power efficiency whereas DAB achieves 92.5%.
“AQAB has been reported to achieve 97.5% power efficiency whereas DAB at 92.5% [74].”
From State of the Art of Solid-State Transformers: Advanced Topologies, Implementation Issues, Recent Progress and Improvements (2020) · cites this paper as [74]
The Experimental Results section reports a measured efficiency of 97.5% for the QAB converter. The QAB vs. DAB section says QAB performed only slightly better than DAB; our copy does not give a 92.5% efficiency for DAB or identify the 97.5% measurement specifically as AQAB. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSystem cost could be reduced by approximately 20% with AQAB.
“According to [74], the system cost could be reduced by approximately 20%.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
