Intelligent RBF-Fuzzy Controller Based Non-Isolated DC-DC Multi-Port Converter for Renewable Energy Applications
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- Approximately three power switches are required to obtain power transmitting between the input, battery, and load port.
- The common ground between the input, battery, and load port increases reliability.
- A greater gain with a single-coupled inductor is achievable without using an excessively high duty cycle.
- To reduce the main power switch’s voltage spike, leakage inductance can be recycled via the intermediate capacitor circuit.
2. Proposed Converter
- Continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation is used to maintain the non-isolated multi-port converter at a steady state.
- All semiconductor devices are recognized as ideal except for body diodes and MOSFET output capacitance.
- The coupled inductor turn ratio is described as Np:NS = 1:n.
- In one switching cycle, VPV, VB, VC3, VC4, and VCo can be regarded as fixed voltages due to the large capacitors of Cin, CB, C3, C4, and C0.
