Multi Input Dc Dc Converter Based On The Multi Winding Transformer For Renewable Energy Applications

The general structure of a multiple input converter has been illustrated in fig.

Multi input dc dc converter based on the multi winding transformer for renewable energy applications.

Transformer mwhft to integr ate the input and outputs of the. This converter combines two input sources of different amplitudes by adding the magnetic flux produced in transformer core. A multi input dc dc power converter based on the flux additivity is proposed in this paper. A panacea to these challenges is the combination of two or more re sources and has given birth to the multi input dc dc converter.

In this paper recent advances in multi input converters are studied. Converter based on the multi winding trans. Step up voltage gain in the renewable energy applications are getting high attention xiong et al 2012. A multi input full bridge dc dc converter with a multiwinding transformer and based on addition of flux is shown in fig.

The main reason for composing this paper is the collection of information about dc dc multi input converters. A topology of dc dc converter based on multi winding transformer for grid integration of multiple renewable energy resources. In general the pv arrays fuel cells and. In the past some dc dc converters used to be connected parallel to each other and thus multi input converters were created.

In this paper the topologies of various multi input dc dc converters will be reviewed and compared from different aspect such as the battery life the soft switching the source utilization the isolation between the input and the output. Instead of combining input dc sources in the electric form the proposed converter combines input dc sources in magnetic form by adding up the. 1 in the structure instead of individual energy sources having their specific dc dc converter the routing is such that all the input sources are directed to a common converter. In renewable energy applications the multiple input bidirectional dc dc converter can be used to combine different types of energy sources 2 3 4 5 6 7 8.
