Modern MultiPort Converter Technologies: A Systematic Review

The integration of renewable energy sources (RES) as distributed generation units to the power grid has been accelerated by rising demand for and growing concern over environmental effects conventional sources. At same time, modern electric vehicles (EV) are demonstrating a promising ability decrease consumption fossil fuels. issues related combination various fulfil load requirements can be solved application multi-input–output architecture that is properly designed. In order increase driving range EVs, several sources, including ultracapacitors fuel cells, should connected operate in with battery storage system. To manage these voltage-current characteristics, concept applied. current trends field multiport DC-DC converters identified examined this research. This paper proposes review analysis most significant aspects converters, such types based on their topologies, benefits drawbacks, areas application. A thorough investigation converters’ design guidelines selection process specific applications presented. Based properties, categorized review. comparison other available publications, more concise mainly focused general important technologies. provided information, reader discern directions converter development.
