Bidirectional DC-DC converter, power conditioner, and distributed power system

摘要

A low-voltage circuit in a bidirectional DC-DC converter converts output AC power from a high-voltage circuit to DC power to charge a smoothing reactor and discharge the smoothing reactor, and includes an active snubber circuit including switching elements and each having a backward diode and a snubber capacitor. The snubber capacitor of the active snubber circuit has its one end connected to a drain end of the switching elements, and has its other end connected to a node between a center tap of a high-frequency transformer and a smoothing reactor.
