A New Topology of Bidirectional Buck-Boost dc/dc Converter with Capability of Soft Switching and input Current Ripple Cancellation

In this paper, a new bidirectional buck-boost dc-dc converter with capability of soft switching and zero input current ripple is proposed. The coupled inductor is used in the proposed converter to eliminate the input current ripple. In the proposed converter, zero voltage switching (ZVS) and zero current switching (ZCS) can be obtained for the main and auxiliary switches, respectively. In addition, the proposed topology is analyzed in all operating modes and all equations of voltage and current for components are obtained. Moreover, the required conditions for soft switching operation and also achieving zero input current ripple are calculated. Finally, the acuracy performance of the proposed converter is reconfirmed through simulation results in EMTDC/PSCAD software program.
