1.5kW Bidirectional Charger

This project involves the design, construction, and verification of a bidirectional charger for hybrid energy storage systems. The converter enables the utilization of alternative storage elements in addition to traditional battery-based systems. This particular application utilizes the energy storage capability of a battery with the instantaneous power delivery of a supercapacitor. The primary goal is to extend battery life and increase energy efficiency in applications with high transient current demand, such as transportation.
