COMPARISON OF SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OF ZVS BIDIRECTIONAL DC-DC CONVERTER

Abstract

This paper presents simulation and implementation of soft switched ZVS bidirectional DC-DC converter suitable for aero space application. Operation of the converter in both boost mode and buck mode are verified using Matlab Simulink. The converter system is tested with C filter and two stage cascaded LC filter. The results obtained with the two filters are compared. A hardware model is developed. Simulation and implementation results of both the modes are presented. The experimental results are compared with the simulation results.
