Bidirectional Current-Fed Flyback-Push-Pull DC-DC Converter
Abstract
This paper proposes a new dc-dc static power converter, designated Bidirectional Current-Fed Flyback-Push-Pull DC-DC Converter. Circuit operation, analysis, simulation, design example and experimental results are included in the paper. What distinguishes the proposed converter from the previous circuits is the existence of input and output inductors, which provides a significant reduction of both the power source and the load side current ripple. The proposed converter is suitable for the renewable electric power systems, such as those having fuel cells as the DC-source power supply. It is also a good candidate for electric vehicle power systems, where bidirectional power flow related with battery charge and discharge is necessary.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
