• This project concentrates on bidirectional conversion of electrical energy using DC-DC converters.
• DC-DC converters have many applications in modern world, they are used in laptops, mobiles as
power converter and also have a widespread applications in electric vehicle, just to name a few.
• The project includes study, simulation & implementation of Bidirectional DC-DC converters with
PWM control using Arduino.
• A Half Bridge topology BDC converter has been simulated in MATLAB.
• The charging & discharging modes has been observed and analyzed.
• On the basis of Literature Survey we have studied about different types of converter topology and
V2G concept.
• Bidirectional Half Bridge buck boost converter topology has been used.
• Ratings of the components were chosen.
• Dead Time PWM method has been discussed for the switching elements (P-MOS & N-MOS).
• Simulation work has been done using MATLAB & Arduino Uno.

The desired output voltage is obtained by varying the gate pulses feed to the two mosfets, during operation. This
is called as Pulse Width Modulation. The gates of the two mosfets must be alternately triggered. Triggering both
the mosfets simultaneously will result in failure of operation and the circuitry will get damaged. To avoid this cases
a dead band of fixed length is inserted between two consecutive pulses, also known as Dead-Time, is a period in
which none of the mosfet conducts and provide a sufficient amount of time for the conducting mosfet to
commutate.

Simulation Result Of HB-BDC in Buck Mode:
It was observed that the simulation of the proposed converter topology in buck mode was able to step-down the
input 48V to the desired 12V output voltage. The maximum inductor current value is 1.651A and minimum inductor
current value is 0.734A, i.e. converter is in continuous current mode.
Simulation Result Of HB-BDC in Boost Mode:
The value of the inductor and capacitor were the same. The proposed converter was able to boost from 12V dc to
48V dc in the MATLAB simulation. The maximum inductor current value is 20.89A and minimum inductor current
value is 19.96A, i.e. converter is operating in continuous current mode.
