In distribution networks with distributed power supplies, distributed power supplies can also be used as backup power sources to support the grid. If a distribution network contains multiple distributed power sources, the distribution network becomes a complex power grid with multiple power supplies. When a short-circuit fault occurs at a certain point on the power distribution network, the size, direction and duration of the short-circuit current are no longer single due to the existence of distributed power, and will vary with the location and capacity of the distributed power supply system. The change, in turn, affects the current in the grid, resulting in the generation and propagation of additional current. This power grid of power electronics will cause problems such as excessive standard mis-operation, abnormal heating of the converter and component burnout, and communication system failure. It is of great and practical significance to study the influence of distributed power in distributed power distribution networks.


The conventional Bidirectional Full-bridge dc -dc converter is inefficient and may not be practical for the low power applications. This paper specifies an efficient DC-DC Converter that avoids power losses by using soft switching techniques like Zero Voltage Switching and Zero Current switching. The soft switching of Bidirectional Full-bridge DC-DC Converter operates as a buck converter when the power is positive and as a boost converter when the power flow is negative. Applications of soft switching Bidirectional Full-bridge DC-DC Converter are uninterrupted power supplies (UPS), distribution Systems, battery charger circuits, telecom power supplies, computer power systems. Detailed analysis of the converter is carried out in buck mode to obtain relations between the power circuit parameters. Based on the analysis, control schemes are described to operate the converter. The proposed full bridge DC-DC converter is simulated in Buck mode using MATLAB /SIMULINK.
