Other Background

Our battery pack consists of 36-S LG M50T cells, so these are the electrical characteristics:

We want our PCS to have components spec’d for a nominal input voltage of 130.68 V

Topology

Idk these are a thing:

...

ZVS is achieved by the above using an active clamp flyback. LLC is another popular ZVS topology, but it only operates at resonance at a fixed buck ratio which may hurt efficiency for us since the pack varies in voltage greatly.
