Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel non-isolated capacitor-assisted quasi-Z-source (CA-QZS) multiport DC-DC boost converter, which operates as a dual-input single-output high gain boost converter. It consists of a bidirectional port for the smooth operation of the energy storage system, and a unidirectional port for the solar/fuel cell to deliver power to the battery and the load. The availability of common ground between input and output ports, high voltage conversion ratio, and continuous current of the unidirectional port are the main features of this novel design, making it suitable for a wider range of applications. A typical switching strategy is followed to regulate the output voltage as well as control input power from the sources. As a battery-incorporated system, the converter’s performance is determined by its selection between three operating modes. Therefore, the CA-QZS converter offers a viable interface for the management of battery energy storage systems. A comparative study is performed with other multi-port converters to highlight the advantages. It is observed that the voltage conversion ratio of 10, can be achieved at a low duty ratio of 0.3. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed topology, a prototype is developed with a nominal output power rating of 200W and an output voltage of 200 V.
