Full-Soft-Switching High Step-Up Bidirectional Isolated Current-Fed Push-Pull DC-DC Converter for Battery Energy Storage

This paper presents a novel bidirectional current fed push-pull DC-DC converter topology with galvanic isolation. The control algorithm proposed enables full-soft-switching of all transistors in a wide range of input voltage and power with no requirement for snubbers or resonant switching. The converter features an active voltage doubler rectifier controlled by the switching sequence synchronous to that of the input-side switches. As a result, full-soft-switching operation at a fixed switching frequency is achieved. Operation principle for the energy transfer in both directions is described, followed by verification with a 300 W experimental prototype. The converter has considerably higher voltage step-up performance than traditional current-fed converters Experimental results obtained are in good agreement with the theoretical steady-state analysis.
