Summary: 
The proposed zero-current switching switched-capacitor (ZCS SC) DC-DC converter is an innovative bi-directional power flow control conversion scheme. A zero-current switching switched-capacitor step-up/step-down bi-directional converter is presented that can improve the current stress problem during bi-directional power flow control processing. It can provide a high voltage conversion ratio of n/ (n-mode/-mode) using four power MOSFET main switches, a set of switched-capacitors and a small resonant inductor. Simulation and experimental results are carried out to verify the concept and performance of the proposed quadruple-mode/quarter-mode bi-directional DC-DC converter.
