Abstract
In this student project the efforts during the fall and spring semester 2013-2014, which corresponds to 9th and 10th semester of the education, have been introduced. The project deals with design of a bidirectional flyback converter for Dielectric Electro Active Polymer Generator (DEAP). Firstly an introduction to the energy harvesting cycles has been made. Afterwards, the converter is discussed theoretically and in order to enhance the efficiency of the converter two SiC MOSFET employed to work in series. Therefore, a brief discussion on series connection techniques are done and gate balancing core technique was utilized to provide balanced voltage distribution at switching transients. Finally the converter has been built at laboratory of AAU and experiments have been performed which are different voltage levels.
