This paper proposes the design and implementation of a high power full bridge bidirectional isolated DC-DC converter (BIDC) which comprises of two symmetrical voltage source converters and a high frequency transformer. In the proposed BIDC, a well-known PI controller based single phase-shift (SPS) modulation technique is used in order to achieve high power transfer. Besides, different phase shift methods such as extended phase-shift (EPS) and double phase-shift (DPS) are compared with SPS. Both simulation and experimental results are caried out to verify PI controller based simple phase-shift controlled BIDC prototype that is designed for 300-V 2.4-kW and operating at 20 kHz.
