Bidirectional dc-dc converters are used lots of industrial areas such as electric vehicles, uninterruptable power supplies, fuel cells, solar panel cells as energy sources are searched in order to improve the quality of power at the transmission, distribution lines and other areas. The main contribution of this paper, applying the most common used control method on single phase isolated bidirectional full bridge dc-dc converter and comparing this control method (Extended Phase Shift – EPS) on efficiency way by with/without using snubber capacitors. In this paper, Isolated Bidirectional DC-DC Converter topology is modelled and controller algorithm is written by FORTRAN programming language. According to the results, it is observed that efficiency result of the converter, using snubber capacitors in the converter topology has higher performance than the snubberless system.
