High Efficiency Bi-Directional Converter for

Flywheel Energy Storage Application

ABSTRACT
For an Energy Storage Device Applications Bi-Directional Converter is More Essential. Such
Applications are Transportations, Battery Less UPS, and Flywheel Energy Storage Systems
(FES). For this system high power density and efficiency are important requirements in BDC
through Buck and Boost Mode Of Operations .In this paper presents a new BDC topology using
a combination of fast turn off SCR and IGBT with a novel control logic implementation. To
Achieve the Zero Switching Losses through Zero Voltage Transition (ZVT) & Zero Current
Transition (ZCT) Techniques. The proposed scheme ensures zero switching power loss (ZSPL)
for both buck and boost modes of operation of the BDC. In this scheme easily achieve the zero
switching power loss (ZSPL) during turn on and turn off of the devices. It results the improved
efficiency and reduced EMI problems .Here we presented the voltage buck and boost modes
operation for the proposed BDC topology also the basic principle of operation analysis and
design are presented Experimental and simulation results obtained on a 4kW, 340V input
prototype with a switching frequency of 15.4 kHz are presented to verify the design.
