Mishima Bidirectional Converter (IMAGE) Kobe University Caption The study’s first author LIU Shiqiang explains the device’s characteristics: “Its superior ‘voltage ratio’ means it can efficiently interface with a wide range of energy sources, while the ‘self-balancing of inductor currents’ enhances system stability and simplicity. Moreover, the ‘asymmetrical duty limit control’ offers enhanced performance especially for electric vehicle-connected DC microgrids.” Credit MISHIMA Tomokazu Usage Restrictions Credit must be given to the creator.
