Abstract
In Electric Vehicles (EVs), a bidirectional converter is incorporated since the power flow will be in reverse direction while regenerative braking and by collecting this power, effective operation can be achieved. In this paper, description of Bidirectional DC-DC converter has given with high voltage gain, continuous current conduction at both ports and good steady state response. The converter topology includes three MOSFET switches, two inductors and four capacitors. Moreover, efficiency of converter is increased by decreasing switching losses. This is applicable in Electric vehicles, Distribution Generation, Energy Storage Units and Micro grids. The proposed converter is designed for 1.5kW and 400V. The designed converter can be compared with conventional converters in terms of Voltage Gain and the steady state response to highlight the exclusiveness of the proposed converter.
