Abstract
A novel high-conversion-ratio bidirectional dc–dc converter with coupled inductor is proposed in this paper. Compared with the bidirectional converters based on coupled inductor, this new topology can realize a higher step-up voltage gain and lower step-down voltage gain with a lower turn ratio in an appropriate duty cycle. In proposed converter, the windings of the coupled inductor are reversely connected to transfer energy from high voltage source or low voltage source. Then, a clamp capacitor is applied to reduce voltage stress on main switch; therefore, the conduction loss of the main switches can be reduced by using a low resistance switch, and the clamp capacitor can also recycle the energy of the leakage inductor in coupled inductor. Besides, the soft-switching technique is used to achieve zero voltage switching, so the efficiency can be further improved. The main circuit and its steady-state operating principle are analyzed in detail. Finally, a 25–200 V 200 W bidirectional dc–dc converter is implemented to verify its performance.
