A bidirectional hybrid switched inductor converter with wide voltage conversion range

A bidirectional hybrid switched inductor converter (BHSI) is proposed in this paper. The uses an switching cell order to achieve a wide voltage conversion range, smaller passive components, and lower stress on the active devices. Apart from these advantages, introduction of additional does not increase complexity control structure, as usually case with other topologies multiple components. BHSI compared, terms inductor/capacitor energies total device stress, state-of-the-art its advantages are highlighted. Two 3 kW prototypes were built, using Si-MOSFETs GaN-FETs, analyse their performances efficiency point view, validate theoretical findings. stability analysis performed tested supercapacitor storage application, resulting good operation both charge discharge modes.
