  • Publication number: 20130003423
    Abstract: A multi-input bidirectional DC-DC converter with a high voltage conversion ratio is provided. The multi-input bidirectional DC-DC converter with a high voltage conversion ratio implements phase control loops independent from one another so as to realize independent control of charge and discharge in a plurality of energy storage modules, and thus a failure in one of energy storage modules does not affect the other energy storage modules. In addition, it is possible to easily add or remove a control loop that is controlled independently from other control loops.
