Bi-Directional DC-DC Converter (Zeta Converter)

Abstract

– A power electronic circuit known as a bidirectional DC-DC converter enables the bidirectional transmission of energy between two DC voltage sources with various voltage levels. Depending on the flow of power, the converter can function in either a buck mode or a boost mode. It is often used in renewable energy systems, energy storage systems, and electric cars in order to provide efficient energy transfer between sources and loads. In this study, a bidirectional DC-DC converter with minimal harmonic distortion and low switching losses is proposed. Other benefits of the proposed Zeta converter include reduced conduction losses, less voltage stress on the switches, and reduced electromagnetic interference. In a simulation environment, the proposed converter's validity has been examined.
