Abstract

Bidirectional DC/DC converters, serving as essential devices for bidirectional energy flow in the field of power electronics, can effectively transfer energy while regulating voltage levels. Nowadays, with the vigorous emergence and rapid development of various fields such as new energy and electric vehicle technology, more stringent performance requirements have been imposed on bidirectional DC-DC converters. On the one hand, their topological structures are becoming increasingly complex, with many new architectures continuously emerging, such as multilevel and hybrid resonant types; on the other hand, the applicable scenarios for bidirectional DC-DC converters are also continually expanding and becoming more widespread. Against this background, this paper categorizes and briefly describes several common bidirectional DC/DC converter topologies, compares and analyzes their main characteristics and application scenarios based on their current status, summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of these topologies, as well as current improvements and optimization research conducted by scholars on some existing topologies, thereby providing valuable references for engineering application and practice.
