This paper presents the simulation performance of Dual Active Bridge (DAB) DC-DC converter for high power density aerospace applications. The DAB converter topology has been chosen as it features high power density, high efficiency, bidirectional power flow capability, inherent soft switching, galvanic isolation and low number of passive components. Hence the converter is a candidate for high p...

As generally acknowledged, the high-gain DC-DC converter is widely used in the sustainable energy system as the front-stage of the DC-AC converter. Therefore, it is indispensable for low voltage to be boosted to high voltage. In general, the boost converter or the buck-boost converter is widely used in such applications. However, it is not easy for such converters to achieve high voltage ratio....

This work introduces a new non-isolated buck-boost DC-DC converter. Interleaved configuration of the suggested structure increases the voltage conversion ratio. The voltage rate of the suggested converter can be stepped-up and stepped down for lower values of duty-cycle, which causes to decrease in the conduction losses of the system. The voltage conversion ratio of the recommended structure is...
