Abstrakt: In recent days, the need for highly power efficient methods are required to create an environment that is sustainable and eco-friendly. Therefore, the usage of converters has increased exponentially. DC-DC converter is widely used in electronic devices powered by batteries to regulate the battery voltage to a suitable level. These converters convert the battery voltage to a different level, either higher or lower, depending on the device requirements. For instance, a boost converter can be used to increase the voltage for a device that requires a higher voltage than the battery can provide. Conversely, a buck converter can be used to reduce the voltage for a device that needs a lower voltage than the battery provides. This paper involves designing a new model of the SEPIC converter i.e., modified SEPIC converter that can operate bidirectionally by replacing the output diode of the conventional SEPIC converter with a switch. The converter is designed to increase the power efficiency and to reduce the need for using huge battery packs that is used to reduce the size and cost of the batteries to be used. The designed converter is connected to battery at source end and it performs boosting operation when connected to load and it operates in bucking mode when the battery is to be charged. The efficiency of the designed converter is around 95%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
