Abstract

This paper presents a novel three-port high-step-up/step-down bidirectional DC/DC converter with a coupled inductor for photovoltaic (PV) systems. The proposed converter combines a high-step-up converter, which is used to step-up the PV module to DC bus 200 V, and a battery charge/discharge bidirectional converter to form a three-port bidirectional converter. When sufficient energy is supplied from the PV modules, the converter can step-up the output of the PV modules and provide energy to the DC bus while charging the battery simultaneously. However, when no energy is supplied from the PV modules, the DC bus voltage is provided by the battery. Moreover, the energy stored in the leakage inductor is recycled to the DC-blocking capacitor, and synchronous rectification is conducted in the switch during the step-up mode to reduce switch loss and thereby increase the system’s overall efficiency. Finally, a 500 W three-port bidirectional converter is implemented to verify the feasibility and practicability of the proposed converter. The maximum efficiency of the proposed converter is 95.4%, 94.3%, and 94.7% when operated in the high-step-up mode, battery step-up mode, and step-down mode for the PV modules, respectively.
