: With the increase in the population growth the energy consumption has also increased. Due to this the fossil fuels have also started depleting. This forces the need for generation through alternate sources. Solar power plants are seeking more attention in this scenario. Solar plants require a back-up storage arrangement, since the generation of power is not 24x7. Hence energy storage devices such as batteries are provide for storage of power during the peak hours of generation. For this purpose bidirectional converters (BDC) are used which facilitates the power in both the directions i.e., both charging and discharging the battery. In this paper we are presenting the comparative study of a conventional and a zcs implemented bidirectional buck-boost converter on the basis of switching losses. The simulation work is done using MATLAB simulation software and the results are given in the paper.
