An Isolated ZVS/ZCS bidirectional DC-DC converter for DC Uninterruptable Power supplies is presented in this paper. The usual way to avoid a computer shutdown during the mains failure is to connect an ac uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Alternatively, in this paper, a simple and high efficiency dc UPS is presented by an isolated bidirectional soft-switching dc-dc converter. The bidirectional...
