Abstract
Multiport converters (MPCs) play an important role in increasing the demand for multi-input and multi-output applications. Further, it gives the economic operation and improves the system performance over the multiple single converters in multi-input multi-output (MIMO). Multi-input converters (MICs) are suitable for integration of independent voltage sources utilized in Electric vehicles (EVs) and grid applications. Similarly, multi-output DC–DC converters also have aroused significant attention in portable electronic applications because of their reduced part count, cost, and compact size. To, obtain the low cost, complexity, and compact, a lot of development and research has been carried out for developing the MPCs topologies which enhance their efficiency, reliability, and modularity. In this study, recapitulating the crucial information from the literature of MISO, SIMO, and MIMO converters, an overview is presented on various aspects.
