Practical and simulation implementation of Bi-directional DC/DC converter controlled by ARDUINO using MATLAB-SIMULINK

Abstract

In this paper, a bidirectional DC/DC converter with control to guarantee a stable system has been designed and implemented via simulation and experimentally. This system provides uninterrupted power to the loads. This bidirectional converter is controlled to deliver power from the source to the load and charging the battery in case of surplus power is generated. Or, compensating any shortage in the source by supplying the load from the battery. The control has been achieved using the interface between MATLAB simulation and Arduino microcontroller. The simulation and experimental design and results are presented and compared.
