In this paper, a bidirectional topology for quasi-Cuk dc/dc converter with capability of zero-voltage and zero-current-switching (ZVZCS) is proposed. The bidirectional quasi-Cuk (BQ-Cuk) converter has different voltage and current transfer ratio, reduced voltage stress on capacitor and capability of changing the output polarity in comparison with conventional bidirectional Cuk converter. In this paper, steady-state analysis of the quasi-Cuk converter with capability of ZVZCS in turn-on is presented. Then, critical inductances for transient from this operation to two new operations are calculated. Next, besides values designing of used elements, maximum and minimum value of their current and voltage are calculated. Finally, experimental results to verify the accuracy of the proposed converter in different operating modes are presented.

A flux-lock type SFCL consists of two coils, which are wound in parallel each other through an iron core, and a HTSC thin film connected in series with coil 2. If the current of the HTSC thin film exceeds its critical current by the fault accident, the resistance generated of the HTSC thin film, and thereby the fault current can be limited by the impedance of the flux-lock type SFCL. The amplitude of fault current can be set by the impedance of the flux-lock type SFCL. In this paper, we investigated the variance of the limiting current due to the ratio of inductances between coil 1 and coil 2 in the flux-lock type SFCL through the computer simulations and short circuit tests. In addition, both the simulation results and experimental ones were compared each other. From the comparison of both the results, the simulation results agreed well with the experimental ones.
