An Overview of Different Topologies of DC/DC Bidirectional Converter for Different Applications

DC/DC bidirectional converter is nowadays gain importance in various fields such as automobiles, microgrid and energy storage systems. More researches are carried on these converters to improve efficiency, reliability and soft switching. Bidirectional converters are mostly used in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and grid-to vehicle applications (G2V). Multiport converters are also designed to operate as bidirectional converter. In future most of the applications are based on bidirectional converter. There are many topologies of DC/DC bidirectional converter has been proposed. Some of the bidirectional DC/DC converters working and their advantages are discussed in this paper.
