        abstract = {Bidirectional power transfer is essential in emerging electric vehicle charging and distributed battery storage systems, where energy must be exchanged between a high-voltage DC supply and a battery. An isolated Dual Active Bridge (DAB) DC-DC converter is developed and evaluated to enable this bidirectional operation through phase-shift modulation between the primary and secondary full bridges. A concise analytical model is formulated using standard DAB power-phase and inductor-voltage relations to describe the behavior of Grid-to-Battery (G2B) and Battery-to-Grid (B2G) modes. The model is implemented in MATLAB/Simulink using practical parameters, including an 800 V DC input, a 500 V transformer output and a 450 V battery interface at a switching frequency of 100 kHz. The simulation demonstrates stable and controllable power flow in both directions, achieving approximately 10 kW transfer at a phase shift of 22.5° with accurate current polarity and waveform shape. The work provides a clear operational understanding of phase-shift control, bidirectional current behavior, and mode transition in DAB converters, supporting their use in EV-charging infrastructure, battery-energy storage systems, and B2G applications.},
