The isolated DC-DC converter for Hybrid bus presented here has some notable advantages
compared with an alternator:
1. It provides fuel economy improvement.
2. Significant increase of reliability of the 24VDC system of the bus, life time is minimum 3 times
longer compared to an alternator
3. Higher performance- overshoot voltage, CAN-bus communication, ease of external control. 4. Cost of maintenance of 24VDC system significantly reduced (life time of battery)
5. Compared to phase-shift topology, this converter has cost reduction and is easy to be
connected in parallel.
