Abstract

This article presents a novel approach to enhance the efficiency, control, and power management capabilities of traditional Zeta Converters in renewable energy applications. The proposed particle swarm optimization (PSO)-modified three-port zeta converter (MTPZC) features a multiport structure with dedicated input ports for photovoltaic (PV) and battery sources, along with an output port. The integration of PSO optimization aims to optimize maximum power point tracking to enhance energy extraction. Extensive simulations and experimental validations showcase the MTPZC's superior performance in power extraction from both PV and Battery sources. This innovative design positions the converter as a promising solution for multiport energy conversion systems in renewable energy applications. The article contributes to the advancement of power electronics by offering improved reliability and efficiency. Simulation results, validated in MATLAB and compared with existing methods, demonstrate an impressive efficiency of 97.8%. The MTPZC outperforms existing approaches, indicating lower converter losses and highlighting its potential for practical implementation in diverse renewable energy systems.
