PV/battery hybrid energy system via a double input DC/DC converter for dynamic loads

In this work, the utilization of a Photovoltaic (PV) array and a battery pack in parallel via a double input DC/DC converter including a coupled inductor is reported. The dynamic performance of this proposed hybrid energy system is analyzed in detail through the switching model created in MATLAB^® Simulink^® environment by using PLECS^® power components under different solar irradiance and demanded load levels.
