Ramya. S, Gowthami. S . Modeling and Simulation of Multi-input Bi-directional Boost Converter for Renewable Energy Applications using MatLab/Simulink. International Journal of Computer Applications. 94, 3 ( May 2014), 25-30. DOI=10.5120/16324-5587
The objective of this paper is to propose a multi-input power converter for the hybrid system that interfaces two unidirectional ports for input power sources, a bidirectional port for a storage element, and a port for output load in a unified structure. The two input ports for simultaneously converting two different input power sources with low voltages to a stable output power with a high voltage. According to various situations, the operational states of the proposed converter can be divided into three states based on battery utilization . In order to ensure that the system operates with high efficiency, this paper proposes a power management control scheme, which controls the bidirectional converter operating under boost mode according to the operation condition of the PV/Fuel Cell , so that the battery can be charged or discharged. The integration of the hybrid renewable power system is implemented and simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK.
