This study proposes a charging/discharging system of energy storage devices (ESDs) to regulate the voltage of a dc bus. The proposed charging/discharging system is formed by a zeta/sepic converter and a sliding mode controller (SMC). The SMC uses a single sliding surface to regulate the dc bus voltage for the three operating modes of the charger/discharger converter (charging, discharging, and stand‐by) and for ESD voltages lower, equal, or higher than the dc bus voltage. This study includes the stability analysis of the SMC and a design procedure of the SMC parameters. The charging/discharging system is simulated in PSIM, where the results confirm that the proposed SMC regulates the bus voltage in charging, discharging, and stand‐by modes for different operating points of the system. Finally, the proposed charging/discharging system was constructed for demonstrating the feasibility of the solution for real applications. Moreover, the experimental results obtained in such a platform put into evidence the accuracy of the proposed SMC in regulating the bus voltage in all the possible conditions: bus voltage lower, equal or higher than ESD voltage, and during charge, discharge, and stand‐by modes of the ESD.
