High Step-Up/Step-Down Soft-Switching

Bidirectional DCDC Converter With
Coupled-Inductor and Voltage Matching
Control for Energy Storage Systems
Introduction:
Energy storage systems have been widely used in numerous
applications, such as renewable power systems, electric vehicles,
uninterrupted power supplies, and microgrids, to compensate the
power mismatch between the power generations and power
consumptions. Bidirectional dcdc converters (BDCs), which have
bidirectional power converting and transferring capabilities, are the
key components for interfacing energy storage elements, such as
batteries and super capacitors, with various power systems. One side
of a BDC is connected to a storage battery, whose voltage is usually
low and typically in the range 1248 V, while the other side of the
BDC is connected to a high voltage bus up to 400 V or higher to
satisfy the requirement of inverter and ac grid. Therefore, a BDC with
high step-up/step-down voltage conversion ratio is desired for energy
storage systems to connect the low-voltage battery with high-voltage
dc bus.

Existing system:
VS based soft switching technique is proposed for Bi-directional
direct current to direct current converter. In this converter we will use
a single auxiliary Active circuit, one auxiliary switch, one capacitor

and two inductors. These elements make the circuit simple, which is
well accepted Active clamp technique and these are used to operate in
Boost/Buck mode with main switches S1and S2. This converter is
made to operate with continuous flow of inductor current, constant
frequency is used to turn ON and turn OFF the switches.

Drawbacks:
High circulating current
High turn-off power losses
Losing of soft switching will decrease the conversion efficiency
dramatically.
Hard switching,
Limited voltage conversion ratio,
Extreme duty cycle of switches and
Severe reverse-recovery problem of the body diode of an active
switch.

Proposed system:
A novel high step-up/step-down soft-switching BDC with
coupled-inductor and voltage matching control is proposed for energy
storage applications. The drawbacks of the conventional nonisolated
buck-boost BDC and isolated BDCs are overcome, while the
advantages of these BDCs are combined by integrating the buck-boost
BDC and a dual-active half-bridge (DAHB) BDC together. The
voltages on the two sides of the DAHB BDC are always matched, so
that high efficiency can be achieved. The proposed BDC is a
combination of the conventional buck-boost BDC and a voltage
doubler cell. The magnetizing inductance Lm of the primary winding
of the coupled inductor Lc is used as a filter inductor of the buckboost BDC, while the secondary winding of the coupled inductor is
inserted into the voltage doubler cell to improve the voltage
conversion ratio of the BDC. Since the two switch bridges composed
of S1 and S2 and S3 and S4 are connected in series, the high-voltage
Vh is divided into two parts and shared by the two switch bridges, the
voltage stresses on the active switches S1 S4 are reduced.
