Modeling of Residential Microgrid Application Integrated with Full-Bridge-Forward DCDC Converter

This paper proposes a novel topology using the photovoltaic cell based application of the microgrid to show the grid voltage. The integrated converter topology for interfacing between the dc bus and energy storage system of microgrid. The integrated full-bridge-forward dc-dc converter presents the following features: high voltage ratio, bidirectional power flow, galvanic isolation, and most important one is low number of active devices compared to the previously used to similar applications. The converter can be approached detailed including three different types of clamping circuits which are compared with each circuit. The structure and operating principle, Dual active bridge converter comparison and experimental results of the proposed topology are presented.
