A ZERO VOLTAGE SWITCHING METHOD FOR BIDIRECTIONAL DCDC CONVERTERS

Abstract

This paper discusses a two-way zero-voltage switching (ZVS) technique for DC-DC converters. By reducing switching losses, this approach enhances the efficacy of contemporary power electricity systems. Bidirectional converters facilitate the transmission and reception of power for renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, and energy storage devices. Equipment malfunction, electrical interference, and energy loss are the consequences of conventional abrupt switching. The primary focus of the investigation is on soft-switching zero-voltage switching (ZVS) technology, which reduces component stress and losses without the use of voltage. The Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) converter's structure, function, and control of electricity transmission in both directions are the subject of this article. The system's dependability, efficacy, and capacity to withstand thermal stress may be enhanced by the proposed approach, as evidenced by the results of simulations and experiments.
