Abstract –A power electronic circuit known as a just a few of the many applications of power electronic
bidirectional DC-DC converter enables the bidirectional converters. The advancement of semiconductor
transmission of energy between two DC voltage sources technology which resulted in the creation of high-power,
with various voltage levels. Depending on the flow of
high-voltage devices capable of switching at high
power, the converter can function in either a buck mode
or a boost mode. It is often used in renewable energy frequencies, has been the driving force behind the
systems, energy storage systems, and electric cars in development of power electronic converters. In power
order to provide efficient energy transfer between electronic converters, these components, such as
sources and loads. In this study, a bidirectional DC-DC MOSFETs, IGBTs, and thyristors serve as switching
converter with minimal harmonic distortion and low elements. Every topology has its own distinct traits and
switching losses is proposed. Other benefits of the benefits, and There are numerous topologies available
