Study and Evaluation of a Non-Isolated Topology Three-Port DC-DC Converter

This article presents a review of three-port converters (TPCs), covering their operation methods, classification, and construction features. This type of converter allows for a straightforward approach to energy processing between solar panels, batteries, and loads. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the TPC, this article presents a proposal for a new non-isolated TPC topology. The proposed converter has a low number of components, operates with simplicity, offers an attractive voltage gain, and imposes low voltage stress on the components when compared to the bus voltage at a higher voltage level. Finally, simulation results are presented to validate the proposed converter.
