A Multi-port High Step-up DC/DC Converter for Hybrid Renewable Energy Application

This paper presents a novel multi-port DC/DC converter which is suitable to be used as the interface of hybrid renewable energy systems. The converter contains three unidirectional power flow ports which two of them are input ports and are connected to two independent energy sources while the third one is the output port that feeds a standalone load. Furthermore, the proposed converter contains...

Implementation of SEPIC/Zeta Three-Port Bidirectional DC-DC Converter for Renewable Energy Applications

In this paper an efficient topology of (Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter) SEPIC/Zeta converter is proposed to interface renewable energy sources and the load. The proposed converter is obtained by the integration of the bidirectional converter and the full-bridge converter. As the output voltage of the proposed converter is not reversed this topology provides remarkable advantages than t...

Nonlinear Control for Bidirectional Power Converter in a dc Microgrid

Some comparative studies of several nonlinear control techniques applied to dc-dc power converters are developed in this paper, like for instance the Immersion & Invariance, Passivity-Based Control, Feedback Linearization and the Sliding-Mode Control. All these different control strategies are used to drive dc-dc power converters in a dc microgrid. The load, modeled as a Constant Power Load typ...

A Bidirectional DC-DC Convreter with Zero Voltage Switching Capability for Energy Storage Application

In this paper, a bidirectional DC-DC converter with high power density for energy storage application is proposed. The presented converter provides power transfer in both directions only with adjusting phase shift angle. Zero voltage switching (ZVS) in both turn on and turn off moments of all switches is the major capability of the converter that makes it suitable for high power applications. Z...
