Principle and Topology Derivation of Integrated Cascade Bidirectional Converters for Centralized Charge Equalization Systems

This article presents a systematic topology derivation method for developing integrated cascaded bidirectional (ICB) converters, and the centralized charge equalization system can be optimized with the proposed family of converters. On the basis of the traditional centralized system, the proposed ICB converters are generated by integrating the polarity switches and different bidirectional dc–dc co...
