Abstract:
The bidirectional DC-DC converter plays a key role in order to realize power distribution in systems including batteries such as energy storage systems (ESS) and automotive on-board chargers. The capacitor-inductor-inductor-inductor-capacitor (CLLLC) resonant converter topology with its symmetric resonant tank, soft switching characteristics, which helps the system achieve higher efficiency and works convenient in bidirectional power flow. In this abstract, key CLLLC resonant converter design considerations in ESS are introduced. A CLLLC resonant converter prototype with rated power 3.6kW, and battery voltage 40~60 V is built to evaluate the performance which achieves 97.4% peak efficiency.
