Abstract

A family of four quadrant DC/DC converters is presented in this paper. Compare with existing four quadrant DC/DC converters that have been introduced in literature, the proposed converters have lower number of components. There are two bidirectional switches, two coupled inductors and one capacitor in proposed converters that can lead to lower cost and also smaller occupied space. The proposed converters are analyzed in detailed and their voltage gain is obtained. It is shown that to obtain high voltage gain, it is not necessary to increase the transformer turn ratio, therefore the leakage inductance effect is minimized in these converters. The effectiveness of the proposed converters is validated with simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK.
