Abstract
A four-port DC-DC converter has been developed for integrating a hybrid energy from renewable sources system into an AC microgrid. This converter is particularly suitable for AC microgrid applications that require system-level power management. It boasts a straightforward design, making it effective for interfacing sources with varying voltage and current characteristics. The converter is created to connect a battery bank, a photovoltaic (PV) panel, a wind turbine, and an inverter, and a load. One of its key features is achieving zero voltage switching in steady-state conditions. To test its robustness, the converter is subjected to various scenarios simulating transient changes in the energy sources. The entire system is modelled and tested using MATLAB/Simulink software. It results from simulations that the converter can efficiently manage the process of filling and emptying the battery based on its state of charge. Additionally, it ensures that the DC-link voltage remains stable and maximum power from PV panel and wind turbine is obtained by MPPT (maximum power point tracking) algorithm.
Keywords: Four-port DC-to-DC converter, AC microgrid, wind turbine, photovoltaic (PV) panel, battery, zero voltage switching
