A Bidirectional DC-DC Convreter with Zero Voltage Switching Capability for Energy Storage Application

A Novel Fully Zero-Voltage-Switching Phase-Shift Bidirectional DC-DC Converter

A novel zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) phase-shift isolated bidirectional DC-DC converter is proposed. It is composed of two symmetrical active-clamped circuits, one on each side of an isolation transformer. The converter can achieve full ZVS in both forward and backward modes even under noload condition. The converter also has a fast response. The operation principle and low-frequency model of t...

A New Topology of Bidirectional Buck-Boost dc/dc Converter with Capability of Soft Switching and input Current Ripple Cancellation

In this paper, a new bidirectional buck-boost dc-dc converter with capability of soft switching and zero input current ripple is proposed. The coupled inductor is used in the proposed converter to eliminate the input current ripple. In the proposed converter, zero voltage switching (ZVS) and zero current switching (ZCS) can be obtained for the main and auxiliary switches, respectively. In addit...

High Frequency Dc-dc Converter Design Using Zero Voltage Switching

Resonant mode conversion techniques are used nowadays to improve pulse width modulated dcdc converters. Moreover the quest for ever smaller 50 to 500 watts dc-dc switching supplies has led to the development of circuits that operates in 500 KHz -1 MHz range and above. Since the parasitic elements that normally present in a power circuit can be very significant at this frequency, most of the wor...

Sliding Mode Control of a Bidirectional Buck/Boost DC-DC Converter with Constant Switching Frequency

In this paper, sliding mode control (SMC) for a bidirectional buck/boost DC-DC converter (BDC) with constant frequency in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is discussed. Since the converter is a high-order converter, the reduced-order sliding manifold is exploited. Because of right-half-plan zero (RHPZ) in the converter’s duty ratio to output voltage transfer function, sliding mode current...

A Zero-Voltage and Zero-Current Switching Full Bridge DC–DC Converter With Transformer Isolation

A new primary-side-assisted zero-voltage and zerocurrent switching full bridge dc–dc converter with transformer isolation is proposed. The proposed dc–dc converter uses only one auxiliary transformer and two diodes to obtain ZCS for the leading leg. It has a simple and robust structure, and load current control capability even in short circuit conditions. Possibility of magnetic saturation due ...
