Abstract:
This paper proposes a bidirectional LC resonance DC-DC converter for wide-range applications. By introducing an auxiliary Boost bridge arm on the HVS of the conventional structure and multiplexing the resonant inductor, the proposed converter extends the voltage gain range. Utilizing a combined PWM and PFM control strategy, the converter operates in multiple modes: two gain modes (medium and high) during battery discharge, and three gain modes (low, medium, and high) during battery charging. This multi-mode mechanism effectively extends the voltage gain range, narrows the switching frequency variation, and simplifies magnetic component design. Furthermore, ZCS operation is confirmed under the tested representative operating conditions, significantly reducing switching losses. Finally, an experimental prototype with a rated power of 750 W was developed to verify the performance for 40-120 V battery charging and discharging requirements. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed topology and control strategy for high-efficiency, wide-range power conversion applications.

In series, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of another battery. Hence, the voltage of each battery is added to give the net voltage, which is increased because each battery boosts the electrons that enter it. The same current flows through each battery because they are connected in series.
