A Novel Bidirectional Modified Zeta Converter with Wide Voltage Conversion Ratio

A Novel, transformer-less, bidirectional and high-gain DC-DC converter is proposed in this paper, which is apt for the interface between two DC voltage levels in various applications, including microgrids. This converter achieves a wide voltage gain with reduced voltage and current stress across the components. The proposed converter supports bidirectional capability with low components. The proposed converter's operating principle and steady-state analysis are explained in detail for continuous conduction mode (CCM). Dynamic modelling of the converter is presented, and closed-loop controllers are designed. The proposed converter operates in both current and voltage control modes. The design of voltage and current compensators are elaborated. Detailed analysis and simulation results are presented in this paper to validate the theoretical analysis and performance of the proposed converter.
