Abstract
Bidirectional dc–dc converter (BDC) is an integral part of energy storage interface, where high efficiency, high voltage transfer ratio and small input ripple current are essential for application, such as dc microgrid and electric vehicle. In this article, a new approach is proposed to achieve reduced input ripple current at the low voltage side, which potentially replaces the necessity of using interleaved circuit structure. Parallel coupled inductor and capacitor circuit are utilized for charging and discharging the two parallel paths in a complementary fashion using a <sc xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">mosfet</small> . The proposed solution helps to increase the voltage conversion ratio unlike interleaved structure. Additionally, in proposed BDC, zero voltage switching turn <sc xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">on</small> operation of all active switches are possible utilizing synchronous rectification principle in both the operating modes. Parallel path structure not only reduce the input current ripple, but also helps to share the input current, thereby reducing the coil size and associated losses. A 250 W BDC is designed to validate performance in 1kW dc microgrid system
