description Due to the rapid development and widespread usage of Electric Vehicles (EVs), there will be more and more retired batteries in the future. These retired batteries can be used in energy storage systems to stabilize smart grid operation with high penetration of renewable energy. The battery modules used in EVs are equipped with dedicated bidirectional converters.

Therefore, it is vital to design and develop a bidirectional DC-DC converter with a wide-range voltage conversion ratio due to the various voltage levels of retired batteries.
