A Novel Multi Port Dc/Dc Converter Topology Using Zero Voltage Switching For Renewable Energy Applications
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
This paper proposes a novel dc/dc converter topology that interfaces the non-conventional energy sources. It consists of four power ports: two sources (namely solar and wind), one bidirectional storage port, and one isolated load port. The proposed four-port dc/dc converter is derived by simply adding two switches and two diodes to the traditional half-bridge topology. Zero-voltage switching is realized for all four main switches. This paper proposes a new four-port-integrated dc/dc topology, which is suitable for various renewable energy harvesting applications. An application interfacing hybrid photovoltaic (PV) and wind sources, one bidirectional battery port, and an isolated output port is given as a design example. It can achieve maximum power-point tracking (MPPT) for both PV and wind power simultaneously or individually, while maintaining a regulated output voltage.
