Comparison Between ZVS and ZVS-ZCS Bidirectional DC-DC Converter Topologies

Abstract

In this paper exhaustive comparative analysis has been done between a conventional ZVS converter and the ZVS-ZCS bidirectional DC-DC converters. A novel model of a bidirectional converter and its topology is introduced. The key working principles, functionality, simulation results are discussed and subsequently compared with the previous ZVS bidirectional converter system. With respect to switching losses, stresses and efficiency parameters the ZVS-ZCS bidirectional DC-DC converter is emphasized.
