Multiport DC–DC converters are of potential interest in applications such as generation systems utilising multiple sustainable energy sources. A family of multiport bidirectional DC–DC converters derived from a general topology is presented. The topology shows a combination of DC-link and magnetic coupling. This structure makes use of both methods to interconnect multiple sources without the pe...

A multiport converter promises cost-effective, flexible and more efficient energy processing by utilizing only a single power stage. Multiport converters, a promising concept for alternative energy systems, have attracted increasing research interest recently. Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) alleviates the switching losses and improves the converter overall efficiency. Zero voltage switching can b...

A key focus of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to harvest electricity from renewables. The fields renewable energy sources (RES) and harvesting methods have seen tremendous growth. Multiport power electronic converter circuits integrate multiple sources. This integration aids in powering load with different required voltage ratings. simple reliable control scheme for this system can...

Distributed generation and storage systems have become important in the residential building environment. One of more promising power electronic interfaces between these grid/building are multiport modular multilevel converters (MPMMCs). These can potentially improve efficiency flexibility, however their control pose challenges. Here, MPMMC topologies will be reviewed analysed from a standpoint...

The recent evolution of distribution systems has shed light on innovative solutions aimed at enhancing the performance such systems. In this paper, authors focus their attention two modular, non-isolated multiport DC/DC converters and application to low voltage DC first topology is based a capacitive internal link, while second one less usual inductive link. Unconventional control strategies lo...

Maximizing solar energy harvesting and miniaturizing DC-to-DC converters will be a difficult task for the CubeSat that operates in low earth orbit (LEO), where size weight are limited. To maximize collection, electrical power system (EPS) architectures use numerous separate DC–DC converters, which problem miniaturization of whole model because several inductors used each converter. The key purp...

Multiport power conversion topologies provide the functionality of more single (and independent) converters but with just one transformer having multiple windings (i.e., ports). In automotive on-board chargers, multiport approach combined symmetrical series resonant circuits, so-called converter (MSRC), enable required galvanic isolated connection from grid-side usually an AC-DC factor correcti...

A novel and flexible interconnecting framework for microgrids and corresponding energy management strategies are presented, in response to the situation of increasing renewable-energy penetration and the need to alleviate dependency on energy storage equipment. The key idea is to establish complementary energy exchange between adjacent microgrids through a multiport electrical energy router, ac...
